pretty surprising to engage nearly a hundred fighters here, recon constantly showed 40 fighters, 40 aux (seems like Oscars are always IDed as aux as I have experienced that many times before)... our sweeps show up, well, in the usual silly way, range to target 4 hexes... the enemy Cap is set to their ceiling, well, we do the same with the Spits and get the dive... being outnumbered we run out of it at some point and lose a couple of spits but overall an ok result for us... when looking at what is getting airborne, I´m sure the enemy once again launches close to 100% of his fighters... that´s why it constantly surprises that PzB only gets 50% of his fighters airborne, Rainer is doing just as well as me as the Allied, we both got our AWACS airborne in big numbers...

the first wave did ok, the following three completely massacred the enemy as the Spits had the never ending dive, which surprised me as the second wave still was outnumbered... 5:1 kill ratio in the end, nearly halve a dozen damaged Spits were lost or write offs...

hmm, when thinking about how hard it is to take Tarakan, I wonder if this force is going to be enough to take that place... we´ve got 600 medium and heavy land based bombers plus the 1000+ carrier based bombers nearby though so that should do the trick...

as you can see on the loss list, only one fighter was torched on the ground at Hankow, talk about a near 100% scramble rate of the enemy Cap... it´s definitely doable as the Japanese, no doubt about the Allied being able to do it anyway I guess...
