Not sure how high you are flying the CAP, but if you are flying over 25k you may have better luck flying the Tojo and Zero in an altitude band where it outmaneuvers the P38. That is the only advantage you have to play against the 38. If the Opponent wants to get the bounce he will, it is faster, more durable, and better guns. Since you will get the bounced anyway, may as well do it where the Tojo and Zero maneuver better than the 38. Just one opinion of course.

Lightnings sweep Darwin but this time the result is okay. 10 Tojo lost but 7 Lightning shot down. Main difference from before was that I replaced all pilots with less than 65 defense by ones of 68+. Average defense skill is now about 68.

You were using the Nicks as fighters or bomber? If I recall correctly bombers.

I don't know if the game includes fighter-bombers jettisoning their stores when engaged in Air-Air.
