It seems the patron saint of butt kicking has failed us. Overcast for tomorrow. We have more than 240 B-29's ready and 75 P-38's ready to sweep.

What do you think?

Bomb something, no rest for the defense.

Maybe next time, have a bomber unit attack the airbase - maybe even the night before - as well as the port. The port can also get your fuel hits.

You also may not have to sweep so high, then the fighters might get there before the bombers.

ORIGINAL: BBfanboy

You got a lot of hits on his Ha-45 engine factories - worth the loss of B-29s IMO.

I think the light flak at 10K had more to do with the Japanese not having a really good mid-altitude machine-cannon. IIRC, the 25mm tops out at 8K feet. Most of the heavy AA is likely in the big cities.
