I think the issue just became moot anyway I lost another 100 Hellcats today
My MSW's were in TF's covered by BB's but it didnt seem to help.
MSW's and AK's took a real beating.
I tried a bluff against Pauk told him I am not worried about my Hellcat losses that my CVR's will replace them all....
Obviously I am fibbing for all I am worth *shhhhhhh* loose lips sink the allied fleet....
Hellcats just cannot cope with PDU Japanese fighters with pilots trained via ground attack....
Thats the hellcat pool empty and the USN pilot pool gone
