How come the results show 16 swordfish listed as attacking and
then 24 destroyed and 16 damaged?
or were the 16 planes listed as getting thru the cap?

Just FOW. You can see from the Aircraft Attack: at the bottom only 5 got through.

Status: offline 		I can't get anything to actually FLY and ATTACK the KB.

My aircraft sit on the ground and get decimated even though the KB is 3 hexes away.

And I had 30+ fighters on escort, zero CAP, KB spotted 2 turns prior, and 30 bombers+, plenty of supply and aviation
support.

No missions.

How did you do it?

No it is not. The Cap is spread out over miles and there is always the element of luck.

Status: offline 		I find it a bit of a stretch considering they are swordfish but ya never know...tons of possible explanations. Zuiho got nailed by two SBD scouts at Santa Cruz...I know,these are not swordfish but without IJN had no radar so the CAP is at various compass points and altitudes and require visual contact.
