Which brings up a question I have: I you set fighters on sweep and bombers an 100 ft. and send them from the same field to attack the same target will the fighters act as escort for the bombers?

At least she limmited herself to the small items.... wait until she picks up a 17" moniter and throws it at you. Then you'll know shes mad <E>:eek ...

Yeah, I'm reading both sides. Great stuff . I enjoy getting both sides take on the same events.

Although the tables Ive seen say the Wildcats upgrade to Hellcats, Wildcats will upgrade to Corsairs if they are on a land base and Hellcats if they are on a ship. It dosnt seem to matter if they are USN or USMC units.

I agree I love Corsairs. Heres a good Corsair Web Site if anyones interested.

<r>The Corsair was accually designed for the USN to use as a carrier plane. But there were some problems in early trials, so it was given to the Marines to use as land based. The British figured out the problems with using the Corsair from carriers and the USN stated using them for carrier ops, but ...

I had to get my copy in the used games section. I had looked all over and did not find it any where else.

<t>Were your bombers set to Port Attack? The reason I ask is I had this happen when I invaded Villa. I had some B17s at Lugna hitting Villa's port and on the turn my ships started unloading they attacked my ships at Villa. I reset them to Ground Attack at it did not happen again. I was thinking ...

I recently had 3 (yes 3, I couldnt believe the even tried) RAAF Beaufighters fight their way past 20-30 Jap fighters and attack a tanker, 1 torp hit. So I guess it palances out.

<r>According to this web site the Franklin was hit by a kamikaze on Oct 30 1944 and then by 2 bombs from a single Japanese plane on Mar 19 1945. It doesnt say anything about mistaking either for friendly planes (Im sure thats something the USN doesnt want to highlight). I believe it was the bomb ...

Yeah, it was the USS Franklin. I just saw a documentry a few weeks ago. There was a vetran from the Wasp on the show that talked about how they kept radioing the Franklin that the aircraft was enemy and kept getting a reply that it was friendly, until it was too late.

<t>Forgot 1 other thing. Instead of having a replentishment TF tagging along, get some fuel up to a forward base like Gili Gili. Once your TFs are on the way set their home base to Gili Gili (or where ever the fuel is). Once they unload they will go to the forward base where you can refuel them and ...

<t>Hi.<br/>
<br/>
I had a simmilar problem. I think its not just the speed but also the Ops points. If one TF has higher Ops. points it will lag behind. I havnt figured out a formula to get it exact but I changed tactics and it seemed to help. <br/>

I started using fewer TFs. If you have 2 TFs ...

<t>Its early Aug 1943 in a scenerio Im playing. All my carriers were docked, to get their Wildcats upgraded to Hellcats amoung other reasons. All my Wildcat units had upgraded to Hellcats except VF-2, a 36 plane unit on the Saratoga.<br/>
