<r> Ref CV movement usually in two TF following an ASW TF, this has proven to be the most effective, they all stay togather and almost never "react".<br/>

<r> Ref subs mostly futile, although did get a torp into a BB a few weeks back. have sortied most of the rest of the boats now.<br/>

This turn we lost almost 600 aircraft trying to attack the fleet that has landed on Hainan at Takao. we lost about 200 Kamis and 120 TB for no effect as they ...

A "whole bunch" (TM) of allied CV forces have moved into the south China Sea and arrived off Hainan. A souple of small strikes by both sides sees the respective attacker handelled roughly with around 70 aircraft lost on both sides. 3 Japanese ACm are ...

<t> G'Day CC, the exact losses aren't that important, what is important is that out opponant believes that the remaining Japanese forces are a credible threat (something we wish to encourage) and therefore he has to act cautiously...<br/>

Japan still has remaining:<br/>

<r> Thanks Obvert, yes that is the aim, 1:2 against is fine, it is the 1:5 against that isn't!<br/>

Tried a sweep with followup bombing atacks on Kiungshan on Hainan, not as good as I hoped, overall losses are 2:1 against, lost a lot (40-50) of mostly junior pilots. I expected to get some planes on the ground, not one <E>:(</E><br/>

Quiet day except for sweeps by Franks against Kiungshan on Hainan which was showing only about 80 fighters. All up we lostabout 2:1 against, but we managed to kill more P-47, and we have large pools of pilots and aircraft... we lost 60 planes and 40 ...

Today was a good day, in particular for the IJAAF.<br/>
<br/>
The last two days the IJAAF had bombed USMC Amphib Bn's on Hainan island, then we switche targets. Basing almost 300 Fighters out of Vinh we swept Tourane and the bombers (covered by ...

<r> Just looked at your supply again, that is a real problem, especially with so many factories to repair... what are your engines and aircraft building like?<br/>
<br/>
With resources at some point the HI will get shut off or bombed... and usually there is lots just a short trip away as you noted ...

You probably have enough resources now, so if you haven't already don't ship any more except as "return cargo" when shipping out troops and supply.

You are doing nicely on the industry front, although I'd suggest building more armaments, you will need them. You have stacks of HI so start stockpiling engines, vehicles and armaments, no point in having a HI surplus at the end!

<r> Thanks Obvert, I think we have so damaged Andrew's confidence that he is now playing very carefully and cautiously... we can't really stop him but we have a good history of being at the right place at the right time to give him a bloody nose... and he knows too many of those in sequence will ...

HI fluctuates from about 800-1600 depending on how the fuel flows in China... there is lots of fuel sitting in ports when it is needed inland... ah well.<br/>
<br/>
Overall the situation is marginal but we are surviving still... we should be stuffed about Jan 1945.<br/>
<br ...

<r> Airproduction is going well, Shinden will soon move forward at a rapid rate. We are saving lots of good pilots for when it comes.... hoping for Jan...<br/>

Cam Ranh Bay is is main port, it has around 300 ships docked and a stack of CV/CVL/CVE... We have had some luck striking it so he keeps a sizeable CAP there as well <E>:)</E><br/>
