Not much news today. Air battles over Akyab still in progress. Japanese losses greater than allied, but not much dent being made in Japanese efforts.
Allied forces are resuffling trasnports around the map trying to reassemble fractioned units, while assets are being readied for the next phase of operations.
Naval sources report progress being made with the vexing torpedo problem affecting US subs.

wow
I see ship points loss ...big to me
which plane type is allied biggest loss ?

[ADavidB]

ORIGINAL: Sneer

wow
I see ship points loss ...big to me
which plane type is allied biggest loss ?

Those plane losses explain why he is only getting handfuls of planes in the air on CAP...ouch!

Dave Baranyi

[Sneer]

can you give some statistics about 4e bombers?

[kaleun]

Those plane losses explain why he is only getting handfuls of planes in the air on CAP...ouch!

Dave Baranyi

Actually, if you refer to allies, the only reason why there are so few aircraft on CAP at Akyab is becasue they are on long range Cap. I have gobs of P40s, F4Fs, Hurricanes or Spits, but they don't have the legs to protect Akyab. Due to the very heavy daily bombing of Akyab, runway damage is 99.
Until such time as more P38s can be spared, and additional 4 engine bombers can be tasked to the Burma theater, I cannot attempt to reopen Akyab. Incidentally, and Warspite knows this, until Akyab airfield is operational again, I cannot assume an offensive stance in Burma. That's probably why he spends such resources in plowing up the runway daily.[;)]

[kaleun]

I am currently using 4E bombers in Burma, intermitently, and ineffectively hitting Rangoon airfield. In the DEIs, they have shut down Kendari AF, and in NG/Solomons, they have been used to shut down Lae and Rabaul AFs.
I also have a B24 wing out of Midway, bombing Wake, withoutr much effect. He moved some Nicks to Wake, so I have been resting the heavies.
There are also some PBY Liberators in the Marshalls, and also in Wake doing harassing bombing runs, more for nuisance effect thatn nything else.

Okay - that makes sense.

So to go back to Sneer's original question, which aircraft have you had the largest losses?

Thanks -

I'll post the answer with the next AAR. (I can't get to my laptop now)

I see quite a lot of b17 shot down in air to air
also number of p 38 lost is comparable to 2nd generation of Japanese fighters
it seems that Japan is not doomed in middle part of war as strong as I supposed

[kaleun]

Check out the title of this thread Sneer. The shame and execration is because due to gross missmanagement on the allied (mine)side, the allies lost ALL their freaking carriers except for Long Island in the early months of the war. As a result, the allied strategy had to base itself strongly on LBA. As such, for a very long time, all allied air offenssive operations required the aggressive use of the B17s, and until some P38s were available, they were operating unescorted.
Similarly, the P38s carried the brunt of the fight against the enemy fighters at Lae, Rabaul and Kendari. Despite their heavy losses, the enemy has lost the use of those airfields, which in turn have allowed for the allied offenssive against Amboina, a strategic mistake; and Madang, a success up to now.
In today's action, enemy carrier aircraft are being used in land operations. (This must be part of an enemy piolet training scheme)
