Thank You  :salute. You are correct though the score doesn't tell the whole story cause JG54 played a huge role in suppressing the IJN fighters so we could get the SBD's into hit the CV. It was great working with the 56th FG and JG54 we had about 20 emails back and forth getting our plan of attack ready.

Big salute to CIC as well for getting orders out early so we had more time to coordinate our efforts.

Yep, fighters nailed it. I saw only a single KI43 before we dove down hamering the fleet.  :cheers:

<S> JG54 and The Gunfighters!

Jaeger1, taking your group in to the 9.11 sector from the west was brilliant.  Flashing 17 and 18  drew the enemy's fighters to north allowing the Gunfighters and the 56th were able to go in and get our ordinance on target.

Great planning together and we had a little luck with the IJN moving their CV south from the beginning of the frame.

Looking forward to working with you guys in the future.
