You could consider night bombing his airfields where his sweeping fighters are stationed.

I think that Nicks are better against the B-17s with their two engines and higher durability. You need armoured fighters to go after those Fortresses.
Seek peace but keep your gun handy.

I'm not a complete idiot, some parts are missing! :o

AA will fire in move mode but probably with a delay to get their guns ready. Warning time would be a factor.

I have Lilys night bomb the airfield at Mandalay. They've killed exactly 1 H81-A3 and damaged a couple. The issue I'm having in Burma (and everywhere really) is a lack of AS. Now that AS counts against engines and not planes, it's hard to keep planes flying.

I have some Betty's at Rabaul that can bomb Pt. Moresby at night. I made a note to start that tomorrow.

I do like the Nick. I will use them when they arrive. Not sure when that happens.

Good to know. The lack of AAA at Singapore and Bataan tells me it's getting close to time to attack.
