oh shit, first appearance of the P-47D25... not much better than the first version but way more range hence they show up over Hyderabad today... not really contesting the whole airspace in Western India but Hyderabad has to be defended to some degree as it's my major base in the region and I don't want it to be bombed to dust... what a surprise, another bad player sending in his sweep at max ceiling as he thinks that would be the best way... sarcasm off.. the Thuds dive 6 times, downing 5 of our fighters for no loss to the Thuds... what saves us here were the numbers, when the dive ended it was our fighters taking down more Thuds than we lost... in the end pretty much equal losses in that engagement due to numbers totally favouring us...

bombers from Ceylon attacking my tank rgts that are about to encircle the enemy at Poona... we moved 90 Georges to Bombay to fly LRCAP and get a nice number over our tank units but the results were pityful, it was like all of my fighters being driven off by the defensive gunners of teh 15 B-24 in the formation... am used to seeing a lot being driven off but in this case it was like 90% driven off which was odd... we lose more Georges to the B-24 gunners than they were able to down... really bad performance here, talking about the best IJNAF fighter formations we got...

when the first wave turns back to Ceylon another one shows up and the RAF Liberators' defensive armament isn't as heavy as those of the USAAF ones' so they take heavier losses than the Americans while not being able to really harm the fighters... difference is a couple of .303 Brownings instead of .50... anybody know why they changed the cal .50 to .303? For wheight reasons?

damn it, could have known that 16 P-47 is not going to be all on the sweep and this time we face 26... more P-47 at MAX altitude of course means MORE dives... this time there weren't 6 dives, but 14, result were 11 fighters shot down during the P-47 dives for NO P-47 lost... I'm not talking about damaged ones that crash later or being write offs, talking about outright kills during the air combat... so the 11 downed IJ fighters right at the start mean that this is going to be a disaster when it comes down to total K/D ratio as our fighters, despite still outnumbering the enemy 4:1 were only able to down 2 P-47 right away with a couple more being damaged...
end result was somewhere around 25 IJ fighters lost for 10 P-47, without the dive (that apparantly has no effect in the game) and the kills during it the P-47 would have lost in total kills... another 10+ fighters were downed by the B-24J...
