Hi all, I completely agree with you Drongo, I am just tryng to solve a problem that I see. And that others have mentioned. I do not subscribe to the Zero is unbeatable or the the B17 will win the war all on its own theories. However, in my experience the Zero in '42 raiding to Port Moresby, both sides using rested pilots, the small raids(say 27 Zeroes) do fine, but larger raids (say, 80 Zeroes vs. 30 Warhawks, 10 P400s, and 30 P39's) I tend to see the allies losing 25 fighters while the Japanese lost 2 or 3. Now once in a while that is fine and I realize the allied aircraft are worse and the allied pilots are not as good, but, it seems to happen pretty regularly when i test it under those conditions. I do not want a wholesale change as the Japs probably did get the better of several raids against Moresby during '42. But not by the ratios I have run into. Mike
