I went back and checked Obvert vs Jocke's AAR and saw that he built close to 2000 Frances.
The other thing that stuck out was the almost 0 production of the Nick D (NF) and lack of any dedicated Kamikaze that I spotted. I should have the Myojo starting production next month thanks to the insane production levels my predecessor had in Vals.
I got to thinking how the Myojo would do as a ground bomber in China or against the Allied Tank Army approaching Indochina (since it has no AA)? How gamey would that be? Wonder if it would work?
The Frances was good to me!
Didn't have the Nick D researched so it came at its normal date. Just didn't see that the FB groups would upgrade to a Nick NF. Lamented it a LOT as I know you've also seen. 
Thought about Myojo. It's good for the later training groups too, if they upgrade to it. It's not a great kami though. Too slow and not durable, no armor.
Judy D4Y4 is much better in 1E IJN groups, as (of course) is the Grace.
From your excellent AAR I always pondered how much more supplies you might have had at the end, if you had all those Nicks flying from Day 1 of the bombing campaign. Enough to make a difference? 1 Month more? 3 Months more or is that too optimistic? Don't know...
Myojo -- I am going to try and make it the primary kamikaze early on, and only breakdown and use other models when things get desperate -- mini roleplaying I guess. Actually, I find it easier to keep airframes aimed at one particular task. I have two or three Helen bombers I trained up in NavB, and I can never find them! However it is easy to find every Lilly IIc for example.
It might have helped for sure. I also was trying out everything in that game to learn it all. That cost more supply. In upgrades, factory changes, too many and too large of fort building, too many air missions and too many big fields and replacement airframes, and buying back too many units which had massive replacement costs. Jocke is also really a good opponent who smashed a lot of stuff! 
Don't worry about keeping groups trained for Low Nav. Keep the pilots in reserve and change them when you need it to be Low Nav and again when you need ASW or Ground bombing. You'd better start training Low Nav for Army and Navy now if you're not, as you'll need a ****load of them.

RE: Conflict Marcus Island - 
I guess I should look on the bright side and figure that the destroyer would have sunk because of the mine hit anyway. How come he never, ever, runs into any of my mines?
