October 20, 1942 Fighter bombers attack Afternoon Air attack on TF, near Rabaul at 106,125 Weather in hex: Severe storms Raid detected at 33 NM, estimated altitude 3,000 feet. Estimated time to target is 8 minutes Allied aircraft Beaufighter Ic x 16 No Allied losses Japanese Ships xAKL Higari Maru, Bomb hits 4, heavy fires, heavy damage xAKL Tateyama Maru, Shell hits 6, Bomb hits 4, heavy fires Aircraft Attacking: 16 x Beaufighter Ic bombing from 100 feet Naval Attack: 2 x 250 lb SAP Bomb I heard sinking sounds later in the turn, so one or both probably sank And BTW, these FBs were set to 1000 feet. So they drop down to 100 feet, strafe and bomb. I have to admit that I have rarely used FBs for these missions, mostly I have used them to train fighter pilots.
