My apologies Veloz but my ability to translate is very google rudimentary. I'm quite lost as to what you are writing.

Thanks LST. It did cross my mind given the weirdness of the posts. I thought I should do the honourable reaction and be polite.

Green button has been employed.

Since you explained that you had other heavy escorts not pictured in the replay then I will withdraw my statement in regard to that. Yes heavy weather can work against even that many fighters in the CAP. I guess a lack of radar was a critical issue.

No worries. It can be hard to divine exactly what is going on just from the combat reports. Oh how I long for any radar.
