At 20 min into the frame numbers were 62 Allied and 121 Axis. Could something be done to balance the numbers a bit?
332nd attacked targets A1 and A41. Took out primary objectives of VH's and some FH's that were our secondary targets. Only 3 of us made it out alive, (no fault of our escorts). Only 1 of those 3 made it home safely.
WTG Maddog! The sole survivor. :)
PS. Could the lights be on? Say noonish or so?

I agree that a squad needs to be switched to the allies. At least a 10 person squad possible 15+ person squad.
The Japanese planes are have proven to be competitive against the US steel and the Japanese turnout is very good (bucking the low Axis turnout trend). So I also really agree that 93 versus 132 (plus second lives to the B5N2s) is way to much of a numerical advantage to the Japanese (I think frame 1 and now frame 2 shows this).

It's has never been a low AXIS turn out IMHO. It's been a low German and Zeke turnout. Give them Nikis and they will show. When the Japanese have Zeros against American steel a 60/40 split works because it's more like 55/45 or 50/50 at frame time.
Give them Nikis and an intended 50/50 can become 55/45 or worse on its own.
Now I do realise this was to be 60/40 and ended up 67/33. Not a big difference. :rolleyes:

I will go over squads and switch one to the allied for frame 3. I have to goto work until 9 tonight a ship came in and I will post scores and send out orders tonight.
