Is WitpStaff considered a replacement for Combat Reporter?

Japanese amphibious taskforce, June 8th. 1942: Amphib TF attacked by 9 CW-22s from 11,000 feet: 5 bomb hits. Again by 9 CW-22s from 8,000 feet: 4 bomb hits. And again by 7 CW-22s from 10,000 feet: one bomb hit.

xAK Mikasa Maru hit by five 50kg bombs, sunk.
xAK Kinsyo Maru hit by one 50kg bomb and ...

I hope you enjoyed reading this. Now off to Clark Field...
