Just because you can't see a rooshan navy does not mmean that there is not one. Lend-Lease is a wonderful thing !

[Sneer]

good i have already fortified kuriles

[Raverdave]

This is where I want to go....................

[Sneer]

all of them ???

interesting thing
for the 1st time p-38 were spotted at chungking - 2 destroyed today on ground

[Raverdave]

P-38s at Chungking eh?   Well well well.

Sneer, how is the Chungking thing going ?

Do you think you'll manage to take it and sweep China for good ?

[Sneer]

sooner or later yes
certainly before russia will enter war

[Raverdave]

Actually I had 20+ P-38s there sometime ago trying to catch you unescorted bombers. The two that were left on the ground were damaged because of the poor state of the runways...........snapped their landing gear.

So if 1/3 China Army goes to Kwantung, 1/3 goes to India, 1/3 stays to garrison the place and 1/3 is bought out for use in the Pac right ?   

[Raverdave]

Bah !   China will never fall !

[Sneer]

i don't need to bought so many unit for PAC - if i can switch southern army from india it will be enough + there will be few new divisions in china soon - good to guard

sad news I 154 sunk today - another convoy heads to darwin ( currently east of broome)

[Raverdave]

My ASW is getting better and better.................and with the new DEs now coming online there will be a lot more being sunk soon.[8D]

[Sneer]

tough luck
truth is that my new PC type works really good
2 subs scored and I think 1 heavily damaged by 1 hunter killer group and allied subs are no more present on my internal LOC
i have 3 at this moment and next 3 will go within 2 months - meanwhile Raverdave gets dezens of good ships

but it works even stronger for allied player

i have little problem with naval production at the moment but expect to have everything under control within next 3-4 months when I get my new carrier division ready
good news
Hiyo is almost finished in shipyard
Akagi well within 30's so ap 3 next months and it will be in service again
Kongo - funny thing - when i spotted enemy lost conwoy close to gilberts 2 weeks ago Kongo escort TF was 60 miles from these merchants but with 6knots and 80 sys there was no fun to risk her
Musashi repairs are going smoothly - ship should be back in service this year

4/11/43
looks like "convoy intercepted" is my sign for readers
small naval engagement north of wyndham - I attempted to intercept convoy with light forces
neither side gained surprise
yubari + tama + nagara + 4 dd intercepted 5 allied DD
shirakumo(mag explosion) + nepal( 2 long lances) sunk
hamakaze heavily damaged ( will be lost I feel)- yubari ate torp but in good shape
once again enemy intercpeted smoothly but this time luck was not with me
my cruisers barely took part in this battle (Nagara and Yubari did not shoot) and in DDvsDD fight allied were better
convoy was not seen
so both tactical and strategic victory to allied

little use of old Jap CLs[8|]
low firepower
low ROF
weak torps  and of old type
only agano is closer to night rider type
too weak for normal combat
without AAA weapons
only DD leaders and fast transport platform

i would be happy to see few new pre conversion kumano type CLs
