I think at this point of the war you will suffer higher losses than you do in the early years. As long as the raids are effective the loss is acceptable so tinkering with settings is important.

It could have been Alfred, someone said that players pore over their air losses. They seem to give more value than ground troops or small combat vessels. Would you be happy to lose a DD for a good cause??

Well I think fighters getting chewed up as escorts is the point. Much better to have fighters chewed up than B-29s. You can’t afford to lose 30 heavies a day. If fighters lower that number it is a good thing

At this point in the campaign you should encourage John's offensive operations on land by all means possible I guess. Cue supply drain and potential trashing of good LCUs like so many times before in those risky counter-attacks

Could the poor results at Shikuka and Toyohara be attributed to poor D/L on the targets?
If that is the case, the MD/L should be much better now that you have bombed it and a second attack should have more luck.

Question: Microsoft, the most hated corporation in my household, did one of those automatic updates yesterday. It's done something to my game screen. Now, whenever I move the cursor around, the color of the underlying screen (which happens to be mainly bright blue) bleeds through, overtopping or "erasing" the actual game screen.

Is there a switch I need to use or something else I need to do to give the game control of my screen?

Agreed.

For those wondering "why Korea instead of China?" here's the answer. China is a vast land sucking up supply. The terrain is good for maneuver and the Allies had a strong western army that could take on any Japanese force. But airfields and supply are too scarce and depositing any for distribution tends to see it frittered away here and there. Also, it is hard to destroy enemy units here. They're more likely to retreat further north, further from my airfields and supply and closer to his.

But Korea is sort of an "island." The supply dropped at Gunzan filters inland but not beyond my perimeter. The Japanese army there is large. Mine is large. The terrain offers some good opportunities. And everything is proximate to my big airfield. A number of targets are susceptible to bombardment TFs. I like the setup a lot. The disadvantage is that John can try a Dunkirk, but if Allied air eventually dominates, that's not as much of an option. I'll try to make John lose an army here.

Well all that and then the obvious. Big bases in Korea put almost all of Japanese industry within fighter and medium bomber range. I really don't think it is worth fighting for the interior of China at all. Secure the coast and move on to Korea as soon as possible.

Oops, it worked for three minutes. Short shelf life. Now I'm back to the bleed through.

Try taking out the " -dd_sw "

Originally with WIN10, game wouldn't work for me without that switch because of slow scrolling, but after this latest update, had the same problem as you currently have, took out that switch and no more bleed through and scrolling remained fast.

This is all I am using now: -deepColor -x1920 -y1080

At one point Alfred clarified the issue of base repair: while base and base fortification building requires supply, base repair does not require supply. If a base is not repairing the issue is a lack of appropriate engineers which are in combat mode and enabled (meaning not disabled squads).
