5 days ago my subs detect enemy Cargo TF sailing from East coast of OZ north toward Darwin. TF was moving steady 5 hex per day.
All calculation where telling me that today he will be in range for Bombers flying from Saumlaki. I adjusted search ranges to avoid detecting ships in Darwing hex. Action end with full success. Enemy cargo ships where transporting fuel. Tomorrow i will abandon Saumlaki as i expecting heavy sweeps and Ki-45 will have no chance against P-47, also base have no radar. Biggest gain for me is that Docup know that he can surprise me in that area and any enemy ship will be detected fast enough to give me time to react.
I have also secondary plan to stop that cargo TH i send some cruisers they where detected today and attacked from air byt lacky CAP manahe to disturb attackers and they all miss. In proces we shot down 9 enemy bombers.
