That being said, my frustration over the carriers NOT flying sorties is driving me NUTS!

Eastern KB
I made a PERFECT Full Speed jump from the East Coast of Aussieland to a few hexes from Koumac. Enemy cruisers TFs (at least 4-5 CA-CL) within my seven hex range and...wait for it...NOTHING flew. Damnation. Perfect chance to attack and strike a solid blow on the exposed Allies and no luck.

Western KB
I had more no sorties then flown sorties with these guys. Sinkings should be double or even triple what they actually were. STUPID!

Just ranting a little...



On the bright side, we are about to force the surrender of a nice number of American units at Noumea!

Just remember the Tone's float plane at the battle of Midway. Then the next plane in that area with a broken radio.

I have not seen the replay. So I wonder if a CV got a sub attack or did the night bombing run work. Not my fault the IJN parked a CVTF into a port within range of my b24s. top it off with 100% moonlight...

1. I note the unit has a good commander. I see three pilots w/ experience over 60. I also see see 3 bomb hits.
2. The raid was extended range, moderate rain, at night, w 100% moonlight.
3. Amazing. Poor John. He probably feels just like the Italians after Taranto.

Big turn just run but I want to deal with Amagi first. As seen on the screenshot Posted earlier, IJN Amagi (sister to Akagi--built on the BC hull) took a TT eight days ago from the SS Amberjack. Her damage shots, as shown in the Posted screenshot, were: SYS 7 and FLOT 13 (9 Major).

Soooo...we FINALLY make it to link-up with the Kido Butai and--just to erase some SYS Damage, I decide to disband her into LaFoa. In comes those B-24s and she takes THREE 550lb bombs.

Here is the current screenshot of IJN Amagi:
