Interesting, maybe the battle is better when seen from the Allied side I was impressed with the view of PH as I flew over it in my P-40, damaged a Zero, and then took out 2 Kates, which had my engine shot up badly, so bailed out when the Zeros started tracking me, then as I was floating to earth, started checking out the other planes in the area, and watched a Kate put a Trop into the side of a BB, as it circled, 2 more Trops hit the same ship over Wake, flying a F4F3, my wingleader and I, were jumped by 6 or 7 Zeros, while trying to climb into the horde of Vals flying in, which the WL didn't last long and I never reached the Vals, but was able to latch onto some Kates as the Zeros came back in the battle report started some 15 Zeros, with 15 Vals and 10 Kates, no bad odds for 2 lonely Cats and yes, Lost my plane in that battle too overall, yes there are things wrong with it, but then again, I remember "flying" a Camel on my Apple II, had to load it from a tape and it was a wireframe and the other planes were x's, most of us thought that was a pretty good game at the time HARD_Sarge
