Dude vs Zeta - Hirohito Style

[WiTP_Dude]

The offensive here seems to have stopped.

[Mike Solli]

Where are the kamikazes.

I already used them. Go back a few pages and see all the escort carriers that got sunk.

There is, however, a worrying factor involved in here. If that was the sqdrn you screenshot above, with exp87, the results aren't as satisfying as they ahould be. Well, better then nothing...

No, they aren't the same planes as in the picture. These aircraft had experience only in the 30s! Now they are in the 60s after that single air battle. [X(]

Hopefully soon I can get 50 Shindens over an airfield and destroy hundreds of planes. I don't think the Allies ever get any fighters that can compete with the Shinden.

[String]

wow.. I wonder how that 87 exp shinden unit will do in combat.

Edit: Get a good squadron leader for them, the current one doesn't seem to be very impressive.

Not many good leaders left at this point.

[String]

Oh my..

Btw, care to post a screenie of your air production and industry state? How much Oil do you have left? Does anything get through to japan from SRA? ... are there even any oil centers left in SRA for that matter?

All's well and good before the allied heavies show up and pound the Shinden's airbase to oblivion and shut it down... Still, it must be nice to be able to get a good lick in this late!

The occasional tanker or transport is able to travel between the SRA and the Home Islands. I've stored up some heavy industry and am only producing advanced aircraft at this point. I also have those subs with radars being built.

The Shindens and Reppus move around - never in the same underground bunker for more than a few days. If Zeta is going to win in 1945, he needs to continue scoring points with manpower hits as his advance in Asia has been stopped cold. Airfield attacks will be like chasing ghost and yield little in the way of victory points.

[WiTP_Dude]

Score as of early October 1945.

[WiTP_Dude]

Japanese move to destroy the Tientsin beachhead.

[WiTP_Dude]

Allies slowly advance along the Chinese coast.

[WiTP_Dude]

The crisis in Northwest Australia is over.
