Status: offline 		Better hope thats a genuine sinking before going and bragging about it. AE now has alot better FOW and even if you hit with just one TT it can show up in the sunk ship list only later to be removed as the Kaga is sending planes out to sink your CV becasue you thought the KB was down a ship.

That was one of the reasons I believe he didnt stick around too long.

Status: offline 		Nagumo was paranoid about the USN Carriers, the Battleships, and the Submarines. Oh I forgot the Land Based Airpower on the Hawaiian Islands also, there wasn’t much Nagumo wasn’t worried about. Rumor also has it he was worried that about listening to Radio Honolulu as KB approached Pearl Harbor, thought it might give away their position.

Status: offline 		Nagumo was a genuinely doughty opponent but he was over-cautious,  particularly when it really mattered (ie over not sending the 3rd wave against Pearl,  or at Midway which he ended up fighting off balance despite having overwhelming advantages

Status: offline 		I would like to say thet in AE if there was a Midway scn I do not see the Japs winning that - ever ( except by luck)

In AE these big air units are going to come easily through the CAP .

I think thet when a Midway scn comes out there will be a lot of moaning.
