Hello, I played this game a lot these years but I'm not an expert, I almost played always only against the AI. I'm ready to play Axis or Allies if you are still interested. I'm in v1.040 (I think it's the latest).

This AAR is a game of me against the AI. I do it to keep track of what I'm doing and to receive advises if I'm doing something wrong.<br/>
Since there is no oppnonent that can read this, I can ...

Is normal that all japanese ships (but sub) are damaged at the start of the campaign?<br/>
Damage vary from 60% to 30%. I tried as USA and I saw ...

Ok, I tried the Nelmsm suggestions and works very well.
The Ju-88D1 works too in the pre attacks recon (even if sometimes got damaged), due his good speed.
Thank you, Alessandro

Manual (print) page 29:
"Flying under radar has its advantages and disadvantages. Recons, night intruders, and small
fighter sweeps have the best opportunity to fly under radar. They can reach their target, do
their business, and be off before the enemy can do much about it."

<t> I will try it.<br/>
