BBfanboy: I have fighters on escort mission, 0% CAP, 4000 ft altitude, range 10 or 12. I have fighters on escort, 0% CAP, 13000 ft altitude, range 10 or 12.
My DBs are set to travel to target at 13000 feet and the TBs are set to travel to target at 4000 feet. That should cover all the bases for the actual Naval
attack missions.
Troops landed and took Jaluit.
Xargun set a small cap trap over Maloelap, cost me 11 B-25D1 Attack Bombers.
I will now change my target to be Roi-Namur, a base that has been a bit of a pain.
I have not leveled it yet but will do so now. Maybe sending in my B-25D1s at night at low level will destroy some of his Zeros.
