Hi Frag, I know they are not made of Kryptonite. Aluminium right Here are examples from AAR's in AAR section: Day Air attack on Rabaul , at 61,88 Japanese aircraft A6M2 Zero x 9 Allied aircraft B-17E Fortress x 38 Japanese aircraft losses Ki-44-IIb Tojo: 1 destroyed, 7 damaged Allied aircraft losses B-17E Fortress: 2 destroyed, 15 damaged Japanese ground losses: 61 casualties reported Airbase hits 5 Airbase supply hits 5 Runway hits 11 Aircraft Attacking: All B-17E Fortress bombing at 6000 feet -------------------- Day Air attack on Rabaul , at 61,88 Japanese aircraft A6M2 Zero x 11 Ki-44-IIb Tojo x 18 Allied aircraft B-17E Fortress x 13 Japanese aircraft losses A6M2 Zero: 2 destroyed, 1 damaged Ki-44-IIb Tojo: 1 destroyed, 4 damaged Allied aircraft losses B-17E Fortress: 10 destroyed, 3 damaged Japanese ground losses: 5 casualties reported Airbase hits 1 Airbase supply hits 1 Runway hits 9 Aircraft Attacking: 5 x B-17E Fortress bombing at 6000 feet 3 x B-17E Fortress bombing at 6000 feet --------------------- Day Air attack on Rabaul , at 61,88 Japanese aircraft A6M2 Zero x 7 Ki-44-IIb Tojo x 22 Allied aircraft - this attack was completely turned away! B-17E Fortress x 14 Japanese aircraft losses A6M2 Zero: 2 damaged Allied aircraft losses B-17E Fortress: 6 damaged -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day Air attack on Wewak , at 52,81 - again a weak B-17 attack is fended of. By Tonys this time, the Daitai at Wewak now got 14 kills. Japanese aircraft Ki-61 KAIc Tony x 18 Allied aircraft B-17E Fortress x 7 No Japanese losses Allied aircraft losses B-17E Fortress: 6 destroyed, 5 damaged ------------------------ Day Air attack on Rabaul , at 61,88 - the heavies that went to Rabaul were again fended of! Japanese aircraft A6M2 Zero x 11 Ki-44-IIb Tojo x 19 Allied aircraft B-17E Fortress x 29 Japanese aircraft losses A6M2 Zero: 2 destroyed, 1 damaged Allied aircraft losses B-17E Fortress: 9 destroyed, 11 damaged ------------------ Day Air attack on Rabaul , at 61,88 - then Liberators from Lunga joined in and received a rough handling as well. Rabaul got away all but unscatched! Japanese aircraft A6M2 Zero x 10 Ki-44-IIb Tojo x 19 Allied aircraft B-24D Liberator x 39 Japanese aircraft losses A6M2 Zero: 1 damaged Ki-44-IIb Tojo: 2 destroyed, 4 damaged Allied aircraft losses B-24D Liberator: 25 destroyed, 19 damaged Runway hits 2 Aircraft Attacking: 23 x B-24D Liberator bombing at 6000 feet 6 x B-24D Liberator bombing at 6000 feet ---------------------- Day Air attack on Rabaul , at 61,88 - once again the B-17s are turned away! Japanese aircraft A6M2 Zero x 8 Ki-44-IIb Tojo x 20 Allied aircraft B-17E Fortress x 23 Japanese aircraft losses Ki-44-IIb Tojo: 2 damaged Allied aircraft losses B-17E Fortress: 5 destroyed, 7 damaged ---------------- The above are taken from PZB's game vs David. I know Freeboy has commented on his B29's getting mauled unescorted during daytime against Zeta. As say bud its not a moan just I think it may not be accurate. I know they are not invincible hence the 8th and Pac airforces decided to escort them but even when unescorted they were near enough 1:1 losses. Anything else I can provide? Regards, Steven
