Another winning frame for the AXIS side

[Viper61]

From what I saw it was another loop sided victory for the IJN forces.  Request the CM's make some really agressive changes for frame 3 to bring it back into more of an even fight.  I am not complaining at all and I love the FSO and the CM job isnt one that I want and all of the CM's do great work <S>.  Just requesting an agressive change in the AC configurations to allow a more even fight.

I want to fly a mossie and not run out of fuel taxi'ing to the hotpad that I couldn't even find.

I'd like to know what happened over C84.

I saw about 3-4 Allied pilots in their chutes RIGHT over the middle of the task group drawing all the AAA away so the rest of the strike package could bomb and strafe without worrying about Ack (as if it WERE actually something to worry about in FSO to begin with...). Three of the four destroyers were sunk before the last guy in his chute popped. If this was deliberate doesn't this fall into the same category as a pilot bailing over an enemy airfield so he can camp the runways with his .45?

  I taxiied to an AA pit to rearm..caught it at last sec and went to re-arm pad only to be egged

All I saw was ack where hotpads should be! lol
And then my engine puttered out.

I didn't know this until one my squaddies pointed it out, but on this map the hot pad is in the middle of the field.

Is the fight really uneven?  Or are the Japanese forces using better tactics and flying their aircraft better?  It can be very hard to tell.

While flying escort tonight I saw lots of Lavochkins trying to attack Ki-67s from direct 6.  They all received swift punishment if our fighters hadn't gotten them already.  We seemed to be doing really well until we watched half the bombers collide into an invisible wall at the edge of a map.

Hmmm... I was concerned this might be an issue.

Last time i saw that happening was in a sencro event 2 years ago.

Sencro? What is that?

[oakranger]

Scenario.  Sorry.

[Nefarious]

What scenario was that? Downfall?

Going through the logs and stuff but at first pass it looks like the the allies launched 145 pilots in B25C and 5 in A20Gs out of 269 pilots. That is about 56% of their total available pilots and only left 119 in Fighters.

The Axis put 50 pilots in K67s out of 268 pilots. About 19% of their total pilot pool, leaving them with 218 fighters.

To put things simply I didn't expect the Axis in Frame 1 to use no bombers and I think I made changes to address issues from frame 1 by including a minimum of Ki67s needing to be use (30 pilots in Ki67s), the limiting of N1K2s and the inclusion of 100 LA7.

For this frame I didn't expect that allies to such a number of bombers.

Have to think on this.
