The NOE B5N mission was an eye opener! I saw our CV flashing, but no dar bar, and upped to see if I could find anything and boy did I ever!
I make a bad move and Joker got me before I got my 4th, but Wax got 13 kills and 10 assists before a fuel leak drained his tanks and he had to ditch just off the CV. Funny part was, the CV wasn't damaged, no fire, no smoke, NOTHING!

They tried some more NOE stuff to the port just SE of the CV's position, including parking goons on the island, but for that sector, the best was the B5N's.
The sky full of B25's and A20's was cool, just too many to counter at once. Dunno if there's something in the AH coding that prevents more than a certain # of planes being rendered, but I was seeing planes disappear and reappear a lot during those encounters.
<S> to the bish who planned and ran the missions!
