BTW you could finish 3 CV this turn
they will need 3-4 months in docks
musashi is more in  problems - unlucky ships - constantly in repair yards

Unortunately for Sneer, Raver is good at cleaning up damaged cvs after fights.

CV are safe now
looks like i will have no sunk ships
planes ... diffrent story as it is easy come easy go commodity
hundreds are needed at this stage of war
not to hurt enemy but to keep him occupied

One wonders where the rest are?

Day Air attack on TF at 30,71

Japanese aircraft
A6M5 Zeke x 57

Allied aircraft
F6F Hellcat x 34
Corsair IV x 8
SBD Dauntless x 66
TBM Avenger x 63
Avenger II x 15

Japanese aircraft losses
A6M5 Zeke: 18 destroyed, 4 damaged

Allied aircraft losses
F6F Hellcat: 15 destroyed, 2 damaged
Corsair IV: 5 destroyed
SBD Dauntless: 5 destroyed, 17 damaged
TBM Avenger: 8 destroyed, 33 damaged
Avenger II: 4 destroyed, 5 damaged

Japanese Ships
BB Haruna
CV Amagi, Bomb hits 2, Torpedo hits 1, on fire
BB Kongo
CV Kaga, Bomb hits 2, Torpedo hits 2, on fire
BB Musashi, Bomb hits 4, Torpedo hits 1, on fire
CL Natori
CV Shokaku, Torpedo hits 1, on fire
DD Wakazuki

Raverdave manouvers hard with land units in east india
about 70 unts counted - 50 on main assault axis
he abandoned main railway to Asanol as it was too heavily defended and moves to Benares assuming he will be there much faster than my reinforcement troops which have long way south
interesting battle to come

i'm surprised to find out that over 50% of my shattered carrier group's planes are in good shape - especially fighter units are well
something bad hangs in the air as I can almost smell it
good info on the other hand is my industrial situation
i'm heavily surprised that it can be so strong at this stage of war
no fuel / supply shortages
nice resources/oil reserves
huge stockpiles of war material everywhere
huge plane pools - only pilot quality is nightmare - i have not enough time to train them as i would like so some units are 40-50 exp

question is if i have outstanding economic results should i have so poor training program ???

Status: offline 		Seperate question was such an outstanding economic position possibe ? The game is as it is - e.g. engines remain the same for all time so the same engine in a nate can be stockpiled and used for an advanced plane in 43. Were you forced to scrap all old engines how would the economy look ?

I think the game needs to be played as is or else the what ifs will make us all mad !!!

Status: offline 		i did not give you a hint about engines - wrong assumption
i have engines for 2 months what is reasonable
but
i have 220k armament points - looks like it is mostly ok till end of war  - no new types of guns expected
similar with vehicles points -15k - i will get no new tank types
also 700k + of HI points which is half done industrial job
so Andy
nothing is wrong
and you are too fast in writing :-)

 - 2 months is fine I picked a bad example

I do still believe that the economy is imprecisely modelled to some extent. If you want to train pilots then use the training command and do it in the rear areas why cant you ? If zp is 40 or 50 then you should be able to get them to 50 or 60 in a month or two of training ?

Status: offline 		but in 2h 44 i want to stockpile engines to reach at least 6 month production level

even with dei all lost have oil and resources for ap 4+ months and another 5 month in HI points - will be more soon as I add ap 150k HI points per month
and i think i can keep this surplus for next 3 months

so 10 months of max production is already guaranteed - I prepared myself to situation when Raverdave concentrate on southern route and started savings many many months ago

with some savings as not everything is really as needed i think i can have additional 3-4 months
so looks like I'm impregnable on Raverdave's tactics of taking DEI in major thrust

without HI bombed to ruins i think i will have no fear even in the beginning of  45
and everything looks like pacific route is abandoned by my mighty opponent due to severe losses in early 43
honestly speaking it is also more heavily guarded as troops are already flowing out of china and east india to perimeter so i could free my reserves as they will be replaced within weeks

many of last lost fighters were old ones
zero reserves , 3a reserves are still high - zeke is used only marginally - jacks are plentifull and georges are already in best units
same story for tojo and tony - still well over 2k in reserve - should be ok till frank arrives

Supply Oil Resources they will destroy the lot---- having a stovckpile in the HI aint enough !!!! you need to be able to keep it

I face a similar game in my game v PZB and I am sure I will against Pauk as well and all my games actually but I am confident in the ability of my heavies to reduce those stockpile quickly when in range !!!

according to Raverdave invasion is close
such info was given many months ago but this time i'm close to belive in it
time to meet allied stick - let's hope it will break on my defences
unofficial info is that allied CV are mostly refitted and it opens few possibilities especially  geographically

there are little places where there are multiple bases so there are little places where i can do anything against ubercap
last few months proved that to break 150-200cap i will need coordinated strike at least 2 times as big and to break cap with significant amount of bombers i would need 3 times as high numbers - i have never seen coordinated 500+ LBA strike against naval target so this is sth i can forget about
by the time enemy reaches PI there will be no chance to hurt him.
looks like times come where good day will be sinking allied DD or MSW
My navy even after damaging of  fleet carriers is is in very good shape - almost no losses in 43 beside few DDs and some small cruisers
pity there will be little use of them.
enemy's communication lines close to map edges so little chance to do any harm - his supply stream flows slower but there is no way to interrupt - pacific is too big - i think it is smart idea. Raverdave is very methodical opponent - no rush in offensive movements.
I think would like to serve under such command / with one exception - air force :-) /
soon 44........
