Needs a spam filter to filter out those 5 word spam posts of you on and on and on....

Five word spam posts? Hmmm.... [:D] [:'(]

You forgot your [sarcasm] tag...

I suppose I could do a two-word "spam" post, but...

Which units took the loss?

[treespider]

What were the units doing?

[castor troy]

US fighter squadrons in Burma that were flying CAP. It was AVG and I think 20 FS. They were set on escort with a low percentage on CAP to be more precise. But they flew nowhere as no bombers took off, nor was the base (Rangoon) attacked.

Nevertheless there were planes shot down in A2A. For me - only for me - this seems strange. But of course it could be my special copy. Ahh, now I realize, the spammer wanted to help... [X(]

Don´t know. Could be that there was a Dinah II. But if I compare the combat report with the operational report then I don´t see any Zeroes shooting down other planes but the operational report shows this:

PO2 Hirano R. of F1/Yamada Daitai is credited with kill number 2
PO2 Minegishi S. of F1/Yamada Daitai is credited with kill number 2
FO Lewis W. of AVG is credited with kill number 2
LTJG Sakai, S. of F1/Tainan Daitai is credited with kill number 2
WO Shimakawa, M. of F1/Tainan Daitai is credited with kill number 2
LTJG Kurakane R. of F1/Yamada Daitai is credited with kill number 2


The F1 Tainan and Yamada Daitais are flying Zeroes, aren´t they? For me it looks like there was a fight between those and the AVG as FO Lewis is also credited with a kill.

You MIGHT see this if CAP and LRCAP tangled - but according to most people, this isn't supposed to happen (although, of course, IRL it would happen).

Since when do recons get escorts? [X(]

[treespider]

Don't forget....CAP wanders also...

I know that CAP can go out for two hexes but the base where my opponents planes are coming from is Tavoy and that base is at least 3 hexes (I think even 4) away from Rangoon. Though I have to say I´ve never seen recons getting escorts.

yes, a good thought, really! This could be a good point. Though as I´ve said, I´ve never seen recons with escorts.
