Hello...a friend and I have been gaming scenario 17 now (3 day turns) using the version 2.20. Now recently over a three day period I lost (as the IJN player) 6,000 men due to air attacks.
Now I can see perhaps (or even maybe) when one is strafing with 100 plus aircraft...but when 9 planes are attacking...the total lost is 565,.....and over 2700 men were lost to 52 fighters and fighterbombers....
Now I did check...they have supplies...but the support number is very low. Now with the support number being low I can see enemy ground troops doing this damage..but enemy aircraft? Any thoughts or opinions?

Here is the text of the combat reports:

I have always thought that UV ground losses by air were excessive but I don't know if the new patch addresses this.

Did you actually loose that many or was it a fog of war thing?

There was mention in Joel's notes about a fix to the reporting of excessive ground troops lost...

Hello,
Umm, I wish it was a fog or war thing......(sigh). I had checked the units at Bia were at about 15,200 souls...then three days later when I checked after those horrific losses (Rambo anyone?)...I was down to about 9,500 men....

Yup, this is one of the outstanding things that still need to be fixed....this should be in the bug forum.

The new patch tries to fix it, but I can't say if we've done enough yet in this area. I have found that fortifications make all the difference in avoiding losses from the air attacks.

Now there's a shocker :D

Who would have ever thought that being surrounded by concrete & sandbags would keep you alive? ;)

Sometimes we tend to ignore the obvious.
