Does anyone know how to keep allied bombers off jap transports ?
Currently playing scen. 17 and desperately trying to resupply Luganville.
Keep getting my transports hit by allied bombers on naval search missions I guess. I can fly cap over transports to prevent or hinder naval attack bombers, but whether cap or not these fortresses and marauders keep getting hits on my transports after spotting them----subs too come to think of it, although they could be flying asw patrol. No fighters ever interfere with these mystery bombers, and I have yet in the game seen my Jap bombers do the same thing, except attack subs during asw patrol.

It even occurs over any size base with existing CAP even in bad weather when all other planes are grounded.
