Ok...we're done... there's no way i can hope to do anything if 2500 fighters on 50%CAP, with 7 Air HQs, plenty of radars and the best pilots ever cannot defend not even a base... lost 1000 planes today...nearly 750 bombers...something like 6 months of production... What would have happened if those Helens were Betties with torpedoes? What would be left of my BB and surface fleet? Is there any way to defend against these strikes? I mean...not a single Helen...NOT A SINGLE HELEN in 2 DAYS have been shot down by my fighters.... and guys...my fighters are the best of the best... If tomorrow Rader sends 500 betties the war is over... I think the only solution is to withdraw...i hate to say it but there's no way to defend my fleet... This is the third time we suffer it... with the CVEs at Uruppu...with the CVs at Sagoshima...and now at Hakodate...and this time we were lucky that he aimed at the airfield and not at the fleet... however our 4E fleet is no more... Oh...and his E class TFs are killing every single sub they spot....
