Actually, I didn't say that either. And you and Nemo are both right in that it is an arguement of scale and institutionalization, not that one side had problems and the other didn't. The IJN ...

There is really only one nighttime movement phase and one daytime movement phase. The fact that the daytime movement phase occurs before any air search or attack means that, in effect, all TFs perform their movement entirely under the ...

And the thesis that everything on the Japanese side was done wrong makes me see red: it is plain false. See Tsuji (an Army officer regarded as a fanatic and hothead - on the IJN captain assigned to Yamashita for Malaya - or on Adm Yamamoto when ...

I didn't know that Retired - my father served in the USAAF in the Med and was under Ike's command. But if you are correct, there was a change in that situation later. My father was one of 80 USAAF NCOs hastily transferred to CONUS after ...

Criticism is only useful when what is being criticised is open for change. We would not have issues like Uber CAP, land combat by TYCO, naval combat that is more in tune with 1742 than 1942 (just to brush the surface) if this was ...

<t> By number it seems to have been about 35%, but by value and construction costs is was less as most of the expensive 4-engined bombers went to Europe (except for the B-29's), while the great majority of Naval A/C went to the Pacific. Approximately 30% overall of the US Production Effort went to ...

Let’s see what it takes to optimize production without increasing it. First we upgrade all Nate factories to build Oscars. That will give us a total monthly production of 132 Oscars. It will be 1-2 months and 70,000 supply to fully upgrade ...

supplying Malta....no problem...i'll just build Gilbratar up to level two airfield, then fly in C-47s loaded with 6in CD guns, and Matilda Tanks. If need be i could also transport an entire Inf Div, with all its equipment and supplies...[:D ...

Besides, how would the current A2A model correctly simulate Hans-Joachim Marseille, who managed to run up 150 "kills" in about a year, usually under conditions of distinctive numerical inferiority? [:D]

Do what Marseille did...., lie about it.

Oh Good God! Pasternakski, you owe me a dinner for the one I just upchucked all over my keyboard.

<t> Perhaps we need to toss the whole miserable crock of a Production system out and just give each side it's actual monthly production of each aircraft (In the Allied case, give them ALL Production, but they can only use 30% of it in the Pacific until the Spring of 1945).&nbsp; Couldn't possibly be ...

<r> "By the same token, US production in late 43 and early 44 was pretty close to maxxed out due to skilled manpower shortages.
