Why can't I use sub float planes?

[mongo]

Thanks for the corrections Irr.. I couldn't quite place it [:)]

That would be the worst thing to me Oleg. Then again, it's a nice way to practice psywar [:D]

"I'm sorry, did you blow something up?"

At the end of the War, the Japanese had a small TF of 2 subs with the hottest and newest super float plane on board to strike Ulithi anchorage.

This strike was on its way when the war ended.

This same group had originally been assembled to strike the Panama Canal pacific locks.

Not certain how effective these might of been, but the planes chosen were designed specifically as strike A/C and not patrol A/C - the first of its kind, IIRC.

----------------------------

The Japanese were looking at all kinds of unorthodox tactics - they attacked Tinian with suicide paratroopers by crash landing A/C at the base and letting the suicide commandos blow up B-29s.

As a kid, I knew a guy who told me the story about that raid - he was based there at the time, and he said it was very disruptive and effective.

In game terms, these raids would not mean much. But they would be fun!

he he....I know about that scheme to blow up (or at least block) the canal....J Edgar Hoover probably whould have thwarted it...what with all of those american student/spies studying up in Sapporo who were stuck there during the entire war

Hey wasn't it Bogart that stopped that raid? [:D]

Never mind the Panama Canal. Bomb Oregon some more.[:D] There is a trail you can follow up to the only spot where the continental U.S. got bombed by aircraft in WW2.. But's it's one helluva hike.

The Japanese High Command had this clever plan to bomb the US only in places the US would never notice.

MUAHAHAHAHA

I want those dogs that bark in Morse Code to Japanese sub hidden just off the beach in the fog bank.
