Note on Naval Battle of Karachi : Last night we sent most avaiable heavy units of combined fleet to bombard Karachi harbor. The result is mixed. Thouth some ships are sunk, we also paid the price with Kumano and Jintsu sunk. Kumano only hit by 3 times, even these are all 9 inch shell,they are still not enough to sink her, so a bad dice happened and magazine exploded.... As I said, in this game there are many suprise happy and anger, and the latter is exclusively reserved for Jap side. Good patriotic work from development team...
The bombardment caused about 25 aircrafts destroyed, airfield lightly damaged, and about 100 guns destoryed. However, below is an important result, nearly compensate the loss of Kumano, can you say what is that?

The Karachi Campaign, until now, resulted in over 80 allies ships sunk, including about 20 escort ships and 3 fast liner with nearly 18,000 AP ability and a speed of 22 knots.
Japs losses is moderate, which could be accepted. Of course if my loss is an old Kakos or some worthless light cruiser instead of a modern Mogamis that would be better.
