<t> It clearly a Swordfhish but it is anti sub version. If I see correct engine is running. No rockets and (bullet holes?).... an encounter with German sub? There are also other planes in the sight so it may be drill run also and plane is just war weary with all her holes.<br/>

I'm not sure that the fatigue should be much higher - the tempo of RAF Bomber Command's night operations matched that of the 8th Air Force's daylight raids for example. Night attacks should be much less co-ordinated, but surely ...

If that formation was attacked IRL in real life by 2 BBs, several cruisers and destroyers, I'd be surprised if half of it survived the slaughter. That means 20 ships heavily hit or sinking.<br/>

That is a statement of opinion, not a statement of fact. Given how many times the Germans made the same claim and paid for it grandly, I'd bet on the USSR against the Japanese as well. In Dece 1941 the Japanese have their best shot. Even so ...

<t> What we are missing here is Japanese Anti-Panzer Boot ( APB ) which was common boot used by soldiers, but it's head was replaced with at-gun grenade. How it works is simple. A grunt simply kicks unware tank with his APB and voila. No more effective tank. Is this APB included in WITP?[:'(]<br ...

That's something you want to see happening with enemy ships, but not with your own. The asterisks (*) are an indicator for the damage done by a warhead that penetrated the ship's armor. It's PW's way to tell you that the hit touched off ...

It's me again. What meant * and . when ship is hit? I couldn't find it anywhere. Perhaps it was in pwhints, but I don't have it right now.

No I think that I remember the plane. P1Y Ginga was IT. I think that at least when prototype was ordered one requirement was dive bombing capability. Was it in few production models I don't know.

None of the IJN's purpose-built dive bombers could carry it. The B5N and B6N could carry it, but not dive bomb. The B7A ("Grace") could carry it, and could dive bomb - but they entered service very late, and in very small numbers.

the rated altitude for the 800kg bomb was ~3000m, or ~9800ft. That's pretty high for level bombing vs. a moving target.
