this is in the South East Pacific, a carrier TF attacks a big tanker convoy that was shadowed by my subs for a couple of turns. We move the carriers in succesfully and encounter a real juicy target!

and another big one in the afternoon! Great result, all those tankers were fully loaden with fuel! I guess we have destroyed at least 200.000 tons of fuel today and have probably sunk 14 or 15 tankers and 4 or 5 sub chasers for the loss of a couple Kates! BANZAI! BANZAI! BANZAI!
In the long run this is of course also only a small victory and only a little morale boost, it doesnīt change anything of the current strategic situation. With all this fuel lost, I guess this has bought us a week or two. All those CV/BB/CA... in Australia will need a lot of fuel and the loss of all those TK should not make the Allied fuel situation any better there.

RE: it goes on... - 
Reason for this are 5 radar equipped base forces. And hey, not to forget the fact that two of my sentais were coming in higher than the Hurricane max altitude is, but I know that alt doesnīt matter anyway. Still funny when radar magically increases the max alt of an aircraft by a couple of thousand feet. 
Two turns done yesterday evening, update soon, werenīt nice turns.
I donīt want to see all my fighters engaging the enemy but having 55%+ all the time sitting on the ground waiting to get bombed is a joke. Unfortunately this game doesnīt know something like fighter took off but wasnīt able to engage the enemy. Would still be better than sitting on the ground, rowed up and bombed. 
, this was totally crazy and again proves that the Tojo seems to be that bad that it canīt be used at all in Nikmod as soon as enemy fighters are near. Donīt forget that my pilots are still in the 80 exp range and the Warhawks at 60 (according to info from Paul). The Zero was more or less unbeatable and killed the Warhawks 8:1 or better. Well, the first appearance of the Lightning was depressing also, kill rate was 7:1 in favour of the Lightning. With the given aircraft stats, Nikmod seems to be producing some radical results. 
Op losses yesterday and today? Nothing more to say... 
What about Jack and George? Availability, performance?
