we will see BB bombardments daily... they hit nothing as they used up all their ammo last turn already... Hortlund complained about the uselessness of his BBs and I really have to laugh... just because he hasn´t achieved 10.000 casualties with his first attack... as said, those BBs are out of ammo, still he complains... I won´t tell him that ALL support troops at the base are COMPLETELY wrecked and I think I have 6 base forces there - all wrecked... if he´s smart he can see that anyway when flak is doing nothing...
at the moment I think we are completely disagreeing on many things as all I´m doing seems to be gamey but nothing he does is gamey...  I think I really have problems doing PBEMs...
example: he had 600 aircraft at a level 4 base... for me gamey, not for him... my "offensive" in China... for him gamey, not for me...

of course we miss... Hortlund is feeling so save, he even puts his carriers into the base hex of Koepang... when my bombers would hit a carrier, it sure would be gamey that they can do that as KB should be invincible, even at a base...

the perfect example where EVERY more or less experienced PBEM player should see that his BBs wrecked havoc with their bombardments... the Kates attack at 11.000 ft, there are 6 Allied base forces with dozens of AA guns and it´s NIKMOD where flak is a killer, but still the Kates don´t suffer at all... why on earth would someone with at least a little experience think that the bombardments weren´t working???

Ki-43-Ic Oscar: 12 destroyed, 4 damaged
Allied aircraft losses
Hurricane IIb: 3 destroyed, 4 damaged
P-40E Warhawk: 34 destroyed
I could write until the end of the day what I think about this attack... 90% of the fighter bombers and 100% of the bombers stayed home... then my strike gets butchered because I field 60 exp. (those are the ones that were doing training for months) and I face the 80 exp. Japanese super pilots...
Nik overdid it, he just overdid it making the Allied airforce useless for years with replacement pilots that are even coming in BELOW 50... I replaced what I could replace this turn and I got 8!!!!!! pilots that were BELOW 50... sorry but that´s BS... but yeah, it´s less bloody... of course it is, I only get 50% of the replacements in stock, so I can only lose 50%... means it´s just half as bloody as stock...

the next strike... we lose 89 aircraft today for ONE lousy bomb hit on an AP... wow great working mod... while I think the mod "would" or "could" work good with the adjustments made in durability, speed, armor,.... of the planes, it just can´t work if you REDUCE the bomb load AND give the Allied pilots all over the map somewhere in the low 50s with replacement pilots that can come in BELOW 50. But in return the Japanese get 1500 replacement pilots in the pool and untrained (when the pool is empty) somewhere in the high 30s which can be trained to 50 also just after doing 15 training runs...
reduced bomb load AND reduced ALLIED (only) exp results in turns like this... but you won´t see that again for long as the REDUCED aircraft replacement (Allied) also won´t let me do this again for at least a month... I lost my fighter replacement of 5 weeks today... yeah, less bloody... and I still seem to be doing good, as in my other NM game where I´m the Japanese we´re one month ahead and I´m 10:1 leading in A2A kills...
thanks that my stock game lasted loooooonger than every modded game I have had so far...

hits??? I know that Hortlund isn´t happy seeing me attacking at 3000 ft or even lower but yes, of course, it´s extremely gamey or weird, we don´t even achieve hits at this alt. Extremely hard with pilots in the 50s and the B-17 dropping 3!!!!!!!!!!!! bombs at this range... I should attack at -3000 ft...

RE: The rant goes on... Pzjg Hortlund vs Castor Troy - 
pfffff... We now have the house rule about stacking limits of af size x 50 + 10% max. 
With an empty pilot pool the Japanese get pilots that are the same exp than a US pilot if the Japanese pilot is doing 15 training bombing raids... oh well... I have around 150 US and British fighters that are in the low 70s now and I will use them in the near future, then we will see if it is worth it. They reached this exp after doing 40 training missions on average, which only was possible because the Japanese weren´t interferring with those raids so far... 
can´t they fly together?? hit rate is again a f***ing joke but Naka was hit with a 500lb bomb that penetrated the deck armor...
