Each of the next three days has the same pattern hundreds of aircraft training in China isolated raids by my fighter and bombers onhis targets.
 
I have offloaded half of the CVR Gps and have moved them to the front they operate better than 2E bombers from low level AF's

Get a base in B-29 range of those airfields. He must be majorly overstacked.

A couple of daylight raids, and you could take out several thousand planes.
At worst, he'll have to keep a CAP over the airbases - less planes training...

Superb Idea excellent plan !!!

I just measured it out I have a few options to get a base in range I always foget just how long ranged Superforts are !!!!

OK thanks to BLurking the allies just got a new variant on the plan !!!
 
Whether or not I go all the way to Malaya is still in doubt but securing North Borneo just moved up the target priority list A LOT
 
There are two bases that can take B29's one in the West Singkawaing and one in the Centre Mili both can be developed to allow ops from Superforts (I only operate from minimum lvl 5 and prefer 6)
 
Given the strategic imperitive of interfering with this dammed training I am going to release some forces from 1st Aus Army at Darwin for an attack on this Axis.
 
A plan is forming involving a 1st USMC Div and 11th Arborne out of Wasile and at least 1 Crops of the Aussie Army in North Australia
 
Pre requisites of this plan are securing Macasser and Banja.
 
3rd NZ Div is now all in Darwin and in recovery mode I estimate 60 days before its fit for ops so it could replace one of the Divs I will be drawing out of 1st Aus Army for this operation.
 
I have 8 Superfort Gps so 400 B29's they could ruin anyones day !!!!

Your problem is you don't think enough like a Japanese player.
I've been suffering under the umbrella of B-29s for months now (PDU game, so it's even worse - more groups).

I assume EVERYTHING can be hit by those loathsome beasts.

Trust me Andy - focus on getting a few bases along the central axis of Japan, and watch PzB suffer.

Even the safe bases don't feel safe anymore. Paranoia reigns supreme...

Ooohh Pauk is gonna hate that I forgot all about upgrading other Heavies to B29's today just gets better and better !!!!
 
Heheheh

What is your current replacement rate (per month) for all your heavy bombers??

Could you post a screen shot of them and your mediums??

There you go

You seem to be in good shape with reagrds to B-25's and B-24's. [:D]
The B-29's could be better.
You have the advantage in air power, except the F6F's, but that horse has already been beaten to death. [X(]
I would close the South China Sea to shipping and force PzB to rely on stored resources/oil to fuel his economy.
Remember...attrition is YOUR friend!![&o][&o]

North Borneo would open up alot for you it allows you to effectivly cut off the DEI from anything from mainland Japan. The only means of resuply would be from ocupied India. Also those bases allow you to pummel China, PI, and Formosa. Thus allowing you to advance under cover of LBA. However, I would not rush your time table. Wait till you have consolidated your gains, bombed the DEI into submission and are not in danger of lossing more vital transports.

After you gain North Borneo the option is yours where to strike next, China; a reinvastion of Hong Kong would not make PZBs day forcing him to remove preasure from the beligured chinese units and posibly allowing for a breakout, Formosa; B-29 haven where you can strike mainland Japan and most all shipping going anywhere, or PI; which has major point values for the Allies as well as good bases to wreak havoc on Japan

Now these attacks would make a saint pissed off.

Thuds and P40N's on 40% and 20% CAP respectively destroy a Japanese attack

And even when 34 out of 39 bombers get through he gets one lousy hit !!!

WTF kind of bulls--t is that?... over 100 Jap fighters vs 20 Allied and 50 Jap fighters go down!!!!!!!?

Man I hope Joe and Don put A2A issues on the front burner after the bug patch is done.

[:D] Omg that made me laugh... Allied UBER fighters....

I agree its a little out of whack but a few things to consider.
 
1. These are 75xp pilots with a few 90's in the mix.
2. PZB indicated these were poor zeke pilots
3. It was a fairly LR Strike
4. My CAP was up high because of anti kami patrol so I had a real height advantage
 
Even so not a good result I would be more worried about  the bombers getting only one hit although an allied anchorage is a hard place to hit in 44 with lots of base forces and ships in port
 

OK a mutliple turn update not going to post all the turn by turn updates
 
I am landing 2 Divisions at Macasser and it should fall tomorrow or the next day
 
I have FT'd a Bde to the base above Banja which only had a Construction Bn it should also fall tromorrow (Lvl 1)
 
3 Corps is mustering outside Banja and should move in tomorrow.
 
All going well I should have Macasser/ Banja and 2 advanced lvl 1 bases all within a week !!!
 
Lastly the island off the coast of Java with a lvl 1 AF is unguarded - after the mess I made of the last assault I should steer clear but I cannot help myself I just cannot not attack it <sobs> I am a Parachute addict [>:][>:]

Are you still considering an assault on Malaya after Borneo? If you are you may want to consider taking Sabang on northern Sumatra before hand. Its a potential level 6 airfield and would put all of Burma, Malaya, Indochina and parts of China under a heavy bomber umbrella. This would also put Ceylon and Chandpur area in B-29 range. This would also be useful for bombing any ships/LCUs that attempt to reinforce the Malayan peninsula. This would also prevent PzB from removing any forces from the west coast of Java. Virtually all of his remaining resource centers would also be targetable. I'm not sure but it may put his training bases in range also.

The troop ships could stay out of patrol range by moving up the west coast of Java and should be quite the surprise to PzB. I doubt the place is heavily defended as he shouldn't be expecting an assault there. I really doubt that PzB could react very well to a two-pronged air assault on Malaya from Borneo and Sabang. You would need carrier support until you had fighters in place so I don't know if that would be a problem for you.

Anyways, just a thought. Don't know if its doable or something you want to attempt.

Chez

Malaya I am not sure of now he hasnt expanded the repair yard so its lower on the value chain than before I may try it I am not sure.
&nbsp;
I am considering Sabang but I doubt its worth it unless I am going all out for the Norht
&nbsp;
Interestingly the base off java was siezed but I failed above Banja as no supplies went witht he FT I missed that one.
&nbsp;
I will need to reinforce.
