They also had F4Us at this 3 day battle, which was the last major multi-carriers vs multi-carriers battle (and lots of other ships like battleships, cruisers hvy & lite, submarines , etc..)  if I remember correctly Allied had 15 total CVs and Axis had 9 total CVs..

"When one considers just what they should say to a new pilot who is logging in Aces High, the mind becomes confused in the complex maze of info it is necessary for the new player to know. All of it is important; most of it vital; and all of it just too much for one brain to absorb in 1-2 lessons" TC

The only Corsairs that were available to the Allies at this battle were the 3 which belonged to VF(N)-101 off the USS Enterprise. They only flew at night and therefore did not see any action in this battle.

For those of us who are history oriented, the KI-43 is not standing in for the D3N1. It was the D4Y1 that served as the "turkey" in the Marianas. There were only 3 prototype D3N1's made and they were never ordered into production.

You may now resume regularly scheduled activities.
