sorry, not worth the effort. All was totally fine, just some honky tonky idiocy once more. Level 8 airfield, no fat, all settings ok, 99 morale, even all that stuff like same alt and so on. The fighters didn't take off. Been there gazillion of times just like the forum is full of it.

He can't fly in supply, Ceylon is something like 26 or 27 hexes away and even if he could fly in some supplies, he's got 500,000 men there and we know how it worked out with the Luftwaffe and Stalingrad where they couldn't supply the 6th Army.


Well that is a bit odd then, I had this not happen often tbh. But I noted with a recent strike I flew from KB to Brisbane (in July 43 a bit risky) that one Zero unit set to escort did not fly. The others did. I of course have typical luck with weather, target had storm and over KB "heavy overcast" so I assumed one of the Zero and also one of the Jill units did not take part in the strike due to these adverse weather conditions. I also chickened out for fear of Flak and set bombers at 16k. There was not much Flak tho I could have used 9k for example. Not hit much But some bombers hit the city instead the port like ordered, also due to weather probably.

I guess Russian winter and Luftwaffe not prepared/not enough planes is a bit different to the mighty Allied transport fleet in 44...but if no airfield in range it does not matter then...

sure the Luftwaffe in Winter isn't comparable to what the Allied have in early 44 but even those couldn't supply an Army of 500k men even if they had an airfield in range for their DC-3. Guess what my fighters would do to the transports if he had an airfield in range. He would have first to wear down my full fighter force and knock out all supporting airfields in the area and around Calcutta it would be the worst place to do this for him.

Supplying the Allied Army by air would be at best a drop of the needed supply, the only chance they had were supplies coming over sea but that has become impossible due to the IJN and IJNAF controlling the Bay of Bengal. Mundy knows that and started to break out of Gallipoli, ehm Diamond Harbour.

enemy heavy bombers attack a railroad junction in India again, this time an elite squadron of Georges were waiting for them... I expected a dozen 4Es shot down but the result over the course of the day is totally disappointing as it was nothing but "George driven off due to gunfire" during the whole combat report... in the end we lose 2 Georges for 2 bombers shot down, what a pityful result as we also lost both elite pilots... with 4x20mm cannons the George should be my best bomber intercepter to date...

yes, he won't recover anything that get's disabled, enemy is already losing about 25 pts for ground losses each turn even without combat, means he's losing stuff of his Army near Jessore

Well look on the bright side the Tank division's has slowed down the enemy army and used what's left of the precious supplies that the trapped Allied forces have left.

The dice roll was not good but it's still a "winning" battle.

For some reason the coordination in the IJA and IJN air forces in India has been beyond miserable compared to the stellar performance showed in the Marshall Islands recently.

You should ban sake all together for those pilots in India, maybe that will get them to actually be more useful.

And maybe punish the fighter pilots to sweep positions whenever they refuse to fly their plane for escort missions from the previous day.

(Of course don't overdo the punishment we still need those "Highly professionally trained" fighter pilot pools for when the Russians and B-29 arrive, also not helped by the mod reducing the number of pilots, but it's more of a navy problem than Army).

The Australians and Indians are meanwhile involuntarily becoming free EXP for the IJA tank regiments.

Still want to see what a 1944 MAX upgraded IJA tank division is composed of in Witp.


On to another question are you rushing the No.101-class landing ships? (The only LST type ships the Japanese get in the war(I think)), Those ships will be very useful in sending in vehicle reinforcements or evacuating them around the world and I love their design and look.

As to the LST, neither do I accelerate them nor do I really have use for them.

another attack on the fleeing (South) units, destroying six of them... we're talking about support units here, won't really reduce the combat ability of the units in the pocket one hex South... even though they will be out of supply it will still be a huge task to destroy them even when they have to fight with sticks and stones as out of supply units in defensive good terrain are still killers the way the ground combat works in the game...

WHAAAT?! B-29 attacking... I wasn't expecting to see B-29 at this date already, let alone on Ceylon... Mundy said he wasn't expecting that much CAP over Rangoon but it's my main base in the area so that shouldn't be that much surprising... what strikes me again is the dumb behaviour of the airroutine of having all but the last three bombers shot down, then it's 5 minutes of never ending messages like "3 Franks scrambling" until the max number of CAP fighters is airborne and the combat ends with always the last three bombers not being attacked... silly, have seen it over KB with every 10 bomber attack vs 800 fighters on CAP and it's the same here... silly... but hey, the perfect airroutine after all...

CVL Ibuki joined the fleet today, the last carrier to be built... it's early 44 and we have built all major ships except Shinano which was "cancelled" on day one... now all our big slips are empty with Japan controlling most of the map... if I just could build some more destroyers, cruisers or the like... oh well... when Ibuki joins super KB it will bring total strenght to over 1500 carrier based aircraft...

Well the control of the Japanese Economy could only go so far...

Shame that we couldn't produce any more ships of the Ibuki class Cruiser and Carrier variant but a 2009 game could only go so far, the odds of the Japanese getting this far in the war is like 1:50 or more so this problem is rarely encountered in the game.
I also have finally seen the art work for the Ibuki finally.

Also with the 50 Bombers shot down incident...
The 40mm Bofo's got the not so great Calcutta turkey shoot.
or a brrrrr incident.
How many pilots were lost in that Operational disaster?

If the Bofos are this bad at 1944 India then what is it going to look like at 1944 Marshalls invasion 3.0... Or maybe a Solomon's Islands/New Gunnies campaign or a Kurils campaign to land USAAF planes in Russia or a operation to land in the SRA.

No, the hex I bombed didn't have any coastal AA units, that's why I checked the ground units in the ground combat the day earlier. There must have been quite some other units fielding AA though.

B-29 now targetting Madras with a mixed escort of crappy fighters... hmmm, it's 44 and the RAF is still flying these early Hurricane models?

Weather in hex: Light rain

Raid detected at 79 NM, estimated altitude 13,000 feet.

Japanese aircraft

Allied aircraft losses
Liberator GR.III: 4 destroyed, 2 damaged

Japanese Ships
AK Hokkai Maru
AK Kirishima Maru

and this one was both surprising and highly annoying... surprising because those Liberators were drawn in from Ceylon by a minelaying RN sub (so the mine laying mission actually did damage -> to the RAF ) and annoying because it's the same stupid sh*t with the air routine as always... we have quite some fighters in the air and the easily down those Navy Liberators one after another... and when there were only three bombers left? It's the same idiotic behaviour I have mentioned a couple of times already, the routine starts to go into asshole mode, myriads of messages of "3 Franks scrambling" until the exact maximum of fighters on CAP is reached and then the combat is over... makes it the usual three bombers to make it 100% safe through the CAP... seen with 800 fighters on CAP vs 8 bombers, seen with 150 fighters vs 10 bombers, it's always the same... go and keep praising that silly stuff...

that convoy had quite some AA value and one Liberator was shot down before making it's bomb run...
