xAP Gideon Welles, Shell hits 2, on fire
xAP Henry Villard, Shell hits 1
while the enemy was able to avoid our surface combat group with his slow and huge invasion convoys during the night we finally get an attack during daylight... and again I am totally amazed by the performance of the USN DDs... fully shell prove against our DD gunfire they landed shells on most of our ships, causing enough damage on our DDs that this TF is knocked out... we do hit some of the transports and freighters but mostly target the DDs and finally two were sunk... not an amazing result, I'd even call that an Allied victory as one of the DDs even puts a torp into Mutsu (light damage) and we totally fail to really harm that convoy...

Aircraft Attacking:
1 x P1Y2 Frances launching torpedoes at 200 feet
Naval Attack: 1 x 45cm Type 91 Torp
and here's part of the disaster starting... we have roughly 300 land based bombers with the same number of fighters set to nav attack and while there are dozens of enemy convoys around all seems to be focussing on Calcutta which is covered by lots and lots of Lightnings on LRCAP from Diamond Harbour... just makes me laugh, we lose a ****load of aircraft on nav search over Calcutta, spot convoys everywhere and all our LBA totally focusses on the fully defended ships at - guess - Calcutta!!! YES!

the game has one serious problem, it has had since WITP and that are overflows... as soon as high numbers come into play nothing seems to be working acceptable anymore... ground combat, ships, air attacks, make your choice... we spot hundreds and hundreds of enemy ships, no idea how many task forces in total, we have 1350 carrier based aircraft set to attack, another 600 LBA and all seems to be screwed up as we mostly launch pityful strikes against task forces with dozens of ships... seems like the game doesn't know which target to pick and so it fails to pick any of them...
