<t> The Oscar II-b is ok, but still gets eaten by the better Allied planes. Still, with PDU off, it is a hell of a lot better than a Nate (some of which are still in actively flying units in Mar 43 for me).<br/>

Expense.

Where the US settled on Essex as a standard design, the limited Japanese economy could only produce a limited number of a far more limited ship.

Don't go toe to toe with an industrial behemoth.

Why are you keeping the division divided? Are there fragments elsewhere?

The regiments will be ground down faster than the combined parent.

Sad day indeed. So many characters we wait for every day will no longer be there when we log in. As always, luck never lasts forever for the ships of the IJN.

Why so many regiments still? They are far more vulnerable than when formed up into their parent division.

There is ~600 AV in Darwin that is far less resilient than it should be.

She can withdraw from Sydney - but I believe you need to get below 50 total damage to do so.

Like a lot of Japanese planning, I am sure that given the right circumstances they could have had a deadly effect.

The only problem is that those right circumstances were so unlikely to come about, that the ships become white elephants.

They knock a bit of rust off, saves the crew a bit of work!

I get the feeling someone has learnt something about Nicks from somewhere else!

It's convergent evolution - big radial engine, bubble canopies and lots of large calibre weapons in the wings lead to similar looking aircraft, although i think a Thud sitting next to it would be a good deal bigger.

Interesting about the fuel - did the SRA fields suffer much damage when you took them or is it your industry sucking it dry?

It is good advice, I didn't pay a rpice, but recently I noticed a number of my CV fighter groups had no fatigue, even though they were in heavy fighting. When I checked, with reserves I had overfilled the capacity.

That was 3 x 40 fighter groups out of my CAP!

Damn it man, now Ryan is going to hate CHina even more in our game.
