Weather was bad yesterday (when the TF hasnīt arrived at Colombo) so my bombers stayed grounded. We take off today and to my surprise, 63 high experienced fighters werenīt able to deal with 3 Corsairs on Cap and after having one fighter damaged, the Corsairs attacked the bombers but thankfully only damaging one... Then the TF is shot up... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on TF, near Colombo at 14,24 Japanese aircraft J2M3 Jack x 10 P1Y Frances x 41 Ki-61 Ic x 22 Allied aircraft Corsair IV x 2 Japanese aircraft losses J2M3 Jack: 1 damaged P1Y Frances: 11 damaged Allied Ships AK Samythian , on fire, heavy damage AK Samwash, on fire, heavy damage AK Empire Malta, Torpedo hits 1, on fire, heavy damage AK Samakron, on fire, heavy damage AK Samtweed, on fire, heavy damage AK Samtroy, Torpedo hits 2, on fire AK Empire Lord, Torpedo hits 1, on fire, heavy damage DD Petard AK Samarina, Torpedo hits 2, on fire, heavy damage AK Samport, Torpedo hits 2, on fire, heavy damage AK Sambalt AK Samspring, Torpedo hits 1, on fire Aircraft Attacking: 3 x P1Y Frances launching torpedoes at 200 feet we also launch a full strike with the remaining undamaged bombers and sink more of the small, medium and big AKs in this TF.
