RE: Comprehensive Port bombing testing (98 B-29's vs. 50 ships in day and night)...

<t> I know the 25mm AA gun has a bad rep on this board, but it was a full automatic AA gun. Firing at HUGE bombers over the course of a couple hours would have seen the B29's perforated by the couple hundred 25mm AA guns these ships were carrying. <br/>

I have noticed that ships in port seem ...

2nd ACR,

I agree, however, the speech before mine also did not need to be there. I will never let defensless people be abused.

Withdraw

Mogami,

Actually, for whatever reason, withdrawing does work. I have tried it with vmf 212 which was stuck at 9 pilots... i withdrew it, it came back with 24 pilots. Don't know why... it just happened. But I like your method better, so I will try it today.

yes

Hi all,

MJHermann,

I completely agree! You just said it much better than me!

As an aside, in the beginning the Mig15s were wacking the Americans pretty badly in Korea, the F86 helped but it was new American tactics that helped more.
