ORIGINAL: Lowpe With the advent of Night Fighter production, I thought I would review Obvert's builds. This is from the end of the war, so I have no idea how many factories were destroyed that built these planes: Irving-S: 235 Irving Sa: 349 Frances S: 119 Nick KAId: 36 Dinah III KAI: 314 Zero -S: 249 Judy-S 2 I think that is it. He had small pools of Irving left (around 30), 100 plus Zeroes, and 60 Frances at the end. Obvert seemed to rely upon the Dinah as the Army NF; and complains bitterly about its poor performance, inability to keep squadrons filled, and poor kills total. I have devoted a much bigger share of the industry to NF; and should be able to keep my squadrons filled at least until the factories are bombed. My goal is simply to delay the destruction and make it as costly to the Allies as possible. If I can do this, then my large investment in night fighters will pay off. Yep, the Dinah KAI is theoretically going to be good against the B-29 due to it's speed, but the lack of armor and no radar inhibits it I think. He targeted the Dinah factories late, and I hadn't started the Nick early enough or in enough numbers to make a difference. Some of the other factories were hit as well, either through direct targeting or damage from fires after manpower strikes.
