It's November 1943. War is not looking good for the Imperial Japan. Most of the carriers are gone, not many heavy cruisers left, allies just captured Ponape and IJN is forced to abandon Truk. Soon US carrier TF can do what they want.

But then there's good moments... In Burma allied heavy sweeps met strong CAP of IJA planes, and that day Imperial 3rd Air Army got 10 new aces.

These are the moments why late game is worth playing for JFBs...

Both Tojos, there wasn't much difference between IIb and IIc. Probably IIc shot down more planes because there was more IIc's.

LoBaron, that looks like my last carriers strike. I lost about 150 planes, but I managed to sunk one DD, 2 AKs and one or two LSTs. Allies are sure going to miss them, so I think it was a good bargain...

It's November 1943. War is not looking good for the Imperial Japan. Most of the carriers are gone, not many heavy cruisers left, allies just captured Ponape and IJN is forced to abandon Truk. Soon US carrier TF can do what they want.

But then there's good moments... In Burma allied heavy sweeps met strong CAP of IJA planes, and that day Imperial 3rd Air Army got 10 new aces.

These are the moments why late game is worth playing for JFBs...

Burma is a good place to whack the Allied, Hurricane IIc and P-40N5 are crap with the Spitfire Vc not being a killer either. Will get harder when the RAF receives Thuds and Spitfire VIII in 44 but until then Japan is able to maintain air superiority if the Allied commander isn't bringing lots of USAAF stuff into the area. RAF bomber force isn't great either, P-38H should work nice though.

That day even P-38H didn't work, I believe my depleted CAP got 4:1 kill ratio vs. P-38H. Finally some good dice rolls.

Doh, sorry crsutton! I was unaware you rejoyce at the reassuring black blanket of defeat, annihilation and death.

I will from now on reinforce any vision of desperate hopelessness in the forums for the greater benefit of all!
