Have you met anything better than Franks yet?

I don't think so, but the Ki-83 tore up the P-38J (~420 mph, the fastest P-38 model in Babes) that I swept with. The P-51D handles them fine.

Oh, if he has the Ki-83 then I'm sure he won't be going for the Ki-94II at all. The Ki-83 is better on paper but the Ki-94 has the advantage of being a 1E fighter and you have the engine available in 42 already as it's needed for the Jill hence I always go for the Ki-94 and not the Ki-83. So if you aren't going to meet jetfighters in late 45 you're already facing his best IJAAF fighter!

Leaves the Shinden as best IJNAF CAP fighter to be met.

Can you sustain such losses like 75 Mustangs in one day? When you've emptied the pool I'd say no, not for a bombing run like this even though you kept the CAP away from the B-29. Why not just use the B-29 on night bombing? That's been pretty much a 1:1 in fighters and just looking at this I'd cheer as the Japanese because you just don't have thousands of advanced fighters and your opponent should have if he wasn't bombed into the stone age in early 44 already.

75 Mustangs in one day is a lot.

It sure is a lot! The took 104 enemy with them, but still it is a lot.

I've been doing both night and day bombing, and switching targets around, to motivate him to concentrate CAP less and pull as many fighters as possible back from the front lines elsewhere.

Day bombing has the problem you describe. Night bombing has the problems of: 1) not concentrating hits on important targets; 2) many bombers stray due to night and fail to find their targets at all (this in addition to the usual weather issues).

When it comes to bomber losses, I'm concerned about losses compared to how effective the raid was rather than bomber losses compared to enemy fighter losses.

---

I might switch solely to night bombing for a while and let the P-51D pool build. Getting additional bases in range of our fighters will help too.

quote:

his only problem should be pilot losses, he should have way more airframes than you (know how that sounds) so while you lost your pool of P-51 he lost most likely 50 pilots. In 44/45 I was able to train about 2-300 IJAAF pilots per MONTH! And by train I mean 70 air 70 def skill
