Aircraft Attacking:

I´ve moved 200 Betties/Nells to Maumere to attack the uncapped Derby. This is the base where 200+ 4Es are coming from and all were sitting at the base today. Well, 120+ bombers failed to locate the base but 80 bombers with 80+ exp crews dropped their bombs - to achieve two hits on the runway that do nothing...
In return, 5 bombers are lost to ops... Yes! We do suffer from flying 12 hexes! The fact that we attack a target at safe height and with elite crews doesn´t help the Japanese at all. Fly one hex and lose a couple of bombers, that´s how it looks like... ridicoulos.
And I can´t go in lower as even at 21.000 ft, the Allied flak would take down two dozen of my bombers... minimum...
it´s really ridicoulos. Miller doesn´t have to even think about Capping his bases as he knows that his flak is so strong I can´t afford to attack his bases below 26.000!!!!!!! ft... [>:]
