No they didn't - I've eben there for three turns trying to sink his bloody ASW hunter killer group and got frustrated and moved 1 hex closer. Well, the allied airforce lies continue. And so my pilots lie too, to keep things even. The actual stats for this turns second pearl harbour. 1. I lost a total of 40 aircraft in it, mostly vals. I had appoximately 32 damaged planes land on deck however. I also had 4 op losses on top of this - most of the 40 aircraft were vals lost to flak. 2. Raver probably lost about 110 aircraft in reality. In the fantasy world fighter pilots live in, he lost thousands. In any case, I brutalised his aircraft with my massively superior plane and pilot quality, linked with a numerical superiority. KB still has 401 aircraft on her decks (and I've now got hundreds of replacement aircraft for the pilots that made it). 3. The allied airstrike didn't land any hits. Or if they did, the bombs were duds because there ain't no damage at ALL. That is right, those two cvs are both 3 sys each and 0 and 0 fire and flt, and the Kirishima is up to 5 sys damage, and 0 and 0. So to those inventive bomber pilots - when you land a 1000lbs bomb in a jap flat top's deck, you'll find that at the very least you start a little fire. if there is just a puff of water, you missed, or a puff of smoke, that is my AA firing at you. 4. Low on fuel so I won't be able to continue the fight, but it doesn't matter as Raver decided to put New mexico and Colorado in a tf rather than in port. If they'd been in port I couldn't have sunk them and I would have lost a lot more planes (was actually hoping for a port raid to get some AR ships blown to hell, but oh well. Both ships sank immediately. Makes up for my pathetic pearl harbour. I think that is 5 enemy bbs sunk so far. Raver thought he could use them as floating AA platforms - and although flak cost me about 26 aircraft . . . it is just too early in the war for those bbs to have the super flak they have later. I'll take the 44 lost planes and about 35 lost pilots and put two big USN bbs to the bottom thanks along with crippling Pearl's air defence for months to come. More wildcats than I expected however. Enjoy - and also take note of some of the more amazing lies that pilots and flak gunners come up with.
