By "full load", do you mean torpedoes?

Port strike. No a full bomb load, not the reduced 1000 foot bomb load. I believe only torpedoes can be used on port strikes at Pearl and on Dec 7th if you pass some checks.

Perhaps I am wrong and it is all works as designed.

Sorry, I worded that poorly.

What is the specific bomb load that you're seeing?

Keep in mind that certain IJN planes have a chance to carry 800kg bombs on port attack pending a EXP check.

In the battle report that I posted, they were all 800 kg bombs. Other times they would be two 250 kg bombs and four 60 kg bombs which would actually be better against ships at Manila because that is a lot more chances to hit something.

Still working my way thru the existing IJN ships. Lots of conversions, lots of troop capacity added always safer to err on the side of converting to troop capacity early on during the critical month of December.

I plan on pincering Singapore on Dec 8th...invading Palembang as soon as I can get decent AA up.

Looking to cut of all avenues of escape for the Thundering Herd.

Hitting Cagayan and Clark AFB to damage those beasts.

Port Blair by paratroop early. Perhaps another paradrop in China at either Ankang, Tienshui or the Changsha rail line.

Naval HQs at Hiroshima off to Cam Ranh Bay.

Pretty strong Zero forces in Marshalls to start in this souped up Andy mod...might give the American carriers a bloody nose should they get adventuresome.

Everywhere I look I see subtle, yet powerful changes Andy made. Rufes, Air production, planes, ships, etc, etc.

Lost electricity yesterday due to heavy storms and didn't finish the turn. Rains all day today, but if the electric which came back overnight, stays on, I will finish the turn....yay!

Are you trying to achieve the longest Japanese AAR without a turn being made?[:D]

Of course your Allied AAR record is quite safe from being overtaken any time soon.

Dec 7th, 1941

Pennsylvania takes a midget torpedo at Pearl...and we are off.

Two Dutch subs, one off Malaya, the other north of Jolo miss on IJN Destroyers...

KB assumes a strong position, but will search fail her? Or weather, or leaders, or something?

Not as much damage as I would like...but losses will be light with no CAP.
