when the Allied Navy left Diamond Harbour it became a deathtrap for the airforce... without controlling the Sea you can't control the air in an isolated region...

not much else happening anymore... thought this tracker screenshot would be interesting though... just look at the victory points, skyrocketed by 10,000 while the enemy has scored 800 since the hostilities around Calcutta began... the enemy lost no less than 1,746 aircraft in the last two and a halve weeks, mostly on the ground at Diamond Harbour or on ships, roughly 300 carrier based aircraft were shot down the first two days... in return we've lost 632 aircraft which at the first moment was really striking me (thought it would have been way less) but there were these days where my LBA suizided into CAP plus KB and LBA losing aircraft to all causes... in the end the Allied paid a high price for our air losses as we have sunk no less than 240 ships and that's only what tracker says at the moment, I'm sure the actual losses are way higher, might be somewhere around 350 when the battle is over, including two USN BBs (prewar), a dozen Allied CA/CL and two dozen DDs... let's not forget all those APA/AKA he has lost... downside is the loss of one CA/CL and two or three DDs so far as we can replace aircraft and even pilots but we can't replace ships...
to sum it up, if the end result is an orderly IJ retreat out of India then it's still a huge success... at the moment I don't even want to think about what it would mean to clear the pocket at Diamond Harbour, that would surpass insanity I guess...
