this TF was ordered to bombard Bataan as I´ve thought it could disrupt the CD there so that my TFs going to Manila wouldn´t have as much trouble moving out during the day but I seriously doubt that these bombardments got any effect to be honest...

OMG! First OMG for what the enemy is sending up as this means serious trouble, second OMG for what I´ve thought would be a wonderful sweep of both the carriers I´ve ordered to sweep and parts of the land based squadrons to sweep. Third OMG for the complete bullsh*t that the sweep was over within 10 seconds after two of our fighters were shot down... I seriously doubt that this was working as designed, yet just another flaw in one of the routines... hurrey, this means I´m sure going to pay heavily for it...  162 fighters showing up for a 10 second engagement, yeah, try to find another excuse please!  besides that, you will see that the Corsairs, Spits and Lightnings are in one of those "multiple attack flaws" again... no, they are not on Cap over the enemy base, set to either sweep or escort...

here´s what I´m talking about, the same Corsairs, Spits and Lightnings show up again, having the dive and wrecking havoc within the enemy... doesn´t really help though when you think about the nearly 300 enemy fighters in the air... also again shows what I´m saying about the enemy ability to get his fighters airborne with low Cap settings, Japanes AWACS work just as well as US AWACS, the enemy throws up more than 80-90% of his available fighters... you´re going to see these Corsairs, Spits and Lightnings joining even more sweeps to come...

even when the last wave came in there were still enemy fighters in the air... employing nearly 600 fighters and more than 300 heavy bombers but we failed to wear down the enemy Cap with our fighters outnumbering them 2:1... our fighters got away without too many losses in the end but the bombers suffered today... hope to have the airfield closed though...
