Lowpe, Your spirited defense is a big morale booster for me (playing Japan, March, 1943, starting to get attacked on all sides)!
There are always a small nuggets for the Japanese - like when a squadron of Nicks on strafing kills a dozen of P-40Ks, or when Ki-43-Ic (last Ki-43-Ic Sentai in Burma kills off a dozen of Beaufighters trying to strafe their home field) :D

I misled about the Divebomber strike...what happened was I ran the turn twice. The first time, I used the latest Beta and it gave me some different results, then I went and reinstalled the proper Beta and no strike against the British CV's shown here.

I have no idea if a 100 kg SAP can penetrate the armored flightdecks...my guess is no. But it might knock out radars and such.

I had Indomitable too close to Japan and strikes from Vals with 250kg bombs got something like 17 hits. None penetrated, but system and fire damage were up in the sixties and there was also moderate float and engineering damage. Effects of spalling and near misses I guess.

Val drops a GP bomb doesn't it?

When on naval attack missions, they should switch to AP like all planes do.

I do distinctly remember seeing my Val's using SAP or GP bombs on soft targets. I think its same process by which the Nettys use the big 800kg bombs.

This port is dangerous, but at least has fighters helping to protect it.

Two CL's are in pierside mode getting worked on. The AR adds a lot of repair points per turn, while the AD's and AG's make is a wonderful PB, DD, E repair facility. Quite fast.

I am playing stock, last official release, so IIRC the bombs were GP.

Looks like you are running out of supply. Will the ADs and AG still do repairs without supply?

The AR must be fully repaired to contribute any points to the repair system, I believe.

Right, but my question is about the ADs and AG and whether they can just do repairs once they run out of supplies - i.e. they lost the ability to replenish ammo on the ships they serve, but can still do the repairs?

According to Alfred, yes they can do repairs but have reduced or no resupply by their lack of supply.

Unless they have supply onboard, or at the port, they cannot replenish ships. But repairs do not consume supplies.

True, but the other parallel is that if there are no supplies at a base the engineers cannot repair the base facilities nor build forts. So complete lack of supply could be a change in the capability of a support ship to fix damage. I think you are right but I was hoping someone had experience with this and could say for sure.
