Some very dodgy and gamey play here by me sending in the kamikaze at high altitude. Would be interesting to know how much damage a Ki-46-II Dinah causes though. May put that CVE out of action for all of a day. Well done SS I-55 putting two fish into a CV that should send it back to pearl. shame he could not hit any of the other 50 thousand CV's out there.
