as silly as having each and every fighter unit losing a small fragment on a sweep that shows up later... this is so obvious and so obviously silly that it should have been fixed years ago as it has been there from day one...

here's the second one but the escorts didn't fly escort nor sweep... means out of five or six times it has worked NOT EVEN A SINGLE TIME! what a design... and no, everything is set correctly... guess I would spend another 100 $ for a working strike routine à la BoB... things can go wrong due to several reasons but in this game, it's nothing more than flawed, not due to realistic reasons but due to design... sorry, but that is a fact [:(]

silly me, no fighters on Cap, all on training and even though those are high air skill pilots, when you catch them during training they are dead meat for what reason ever, as if they would forget their abilities...

Training flight from 1-VI.G.V has been caught up in attack
I could be wrong, but I always thought that training flights of fighters carried no air to air ammo, so when you see that message it means your guys can only try to get away.

If they would try to get away that would be nice but they also engaged the Zeroes, at least that's what the replay was showing. They just performed horrible, due to being "on training".

Well training is training and could mean any number of situations where the planes are at a disadvantage. Low fuel, no ammo, surprise due to unexpected attack, tired aircraft taken out of front line duty or just a general relaxation of alertness. There are many reasons any unit in training would be trashed good pilots or not. Granted it is an abstraction but we have to accept the abstractions. Any player training in a location that can be attacked needs to have a chance to pay for it.

Playing Downfall I have found that training flights which get caught up in bombing attacks do rather well, indeed better than fighters on actual CAP i.e more planes engage. That is against unescorted bombers though.

we have a destroyer squadron at Port Moresby that is attacked by KB and I have to say I was quite confident to hit KB's airwings hard as I had moved 175 fighters to the base of which a good hundred show up to oppose the enemy strike... the Zeroes did extremely good on escort taking down more P-40 than vice versa and with the whole engagement lasting only a moment we not even got a dozen bombers in the end... absolutely frustrating result as KB gets away without suffering once more which is really a joke with a pre warning time of 43 min and 175 fighters at the base... total losses for the IJNAF probably not even a dozen aircraft... the agile destroyers were too hard to hit in rainy weather...

Cuttlefish decided to attack at Clark Field and receives a bloody nose in return... but the IJA units were able to knock down a fort which I wasn't really happy about... though their engineers really suffered for doing so and our losses can be easily sustained... I am sure that Clark Field can't be taken as long as we have supplies for our units so this should take a while...

we kept our fighter squadrons on 80/20 Cap/rest as I expected KB to launch a sweep but instead we saw Zeroes from Rabaul doing a strato sweep that completely wiped the floor with our Warhawks that can't even reach that altitude... KB was spotted moving NE, again it seems to be a move when Cuttlefish doesn't really know what else to do with his carriers...

god damn I really can't believe it! Until yesterday I had my troops moving in combat mode when the enemy units in the adjacent hex where reported to march into my hex but then yesterday, it showed them not marching anymore so I changed my units into move mode as there was no threat to be attacked by the two enemy divisions at Magwe... what happens today? One of the divisions shock attacks across the river, knocking my stack down and forcing it to retreat... one of those turns the game drives me completely crazy... we had 9/10 detection over the enemy but it didn't show the division to move anymore while it still was moving and just one day from crossing the river... must be a damned display error or what, no idea how that can happen... if I had to guess, the enemy div was in move mode until yesterday and then it was switched to combat to shock attack over the river in the correct op mode which must have also resulted in the movement arrow disappearing...

this could have been easily avoided by staying in combat mode and it would have taken us three more days to march into the jungle rough hex NW... [:@]

no idea why Cuttlefish landed this rgt here without any support... would have been better off to land an IJNAF base force or so... got bombers at PM but they just don't fly, for no obvious reason... it's just the typical behaviour of the game...

really short and unspectacular turns at the moment but that's nothing bad if you are playing the Allied at this stage of the war... looks like Cuttlefish increases the number of bombers against Singapore though as these Lilies join the fight from their bases on Northern Borneo... guess having them based on one of the Malayan airfields would be a better choice due to range and airfield size...

due to not having any real flak at Clark Field the bombers achieve quite a good hit rate all the time and keep the lvl 8 airfield damaged lately... they fly day after day of course, seems just to be impossible to reliable launch anti shipping strikes as none of my bombers even tried to attack shipping around PM for days which is just ridicoulos... with that game the real life massacre in the Bismarck Sea would have never happened... and yes, I do know how my airfields have to look like when I want to launch bomber strikes...

we even had a task force identified as cruisers and destroyers in range today (probably bombarding PM tomorrow) but my bombers just kept sitting on the airfield... mucho realistic...

that could be the TF that was spotted yesterday but there are more around with heavier units as Cuttlefish decided not to bombard PM today while sending in destroyers in to clear the area of my PT boats which works very well in daylight... guess what the SBD squadron at PM set to nav attack 4 hexes did the whole day in best weather conditions? Correct, nothing...

compare that behaviour to what would have happened in real life in such an instance...
