RE: Fighter XP
OK back to the war minus the mutts....
Interesting few turns my soldiers finally finish off Wake and Georgetown. I have ordered 1 Bde4 north to clear a small blocking force off the railroad hopefully not giving away 1st Aus Army's offensive quite yet. Apart from that day 1 raid on Iwo went well time to kill supplies and pound and pound on Iwo's defences.
I would kill for some Tallboy or Grand Slam equippped Lancasters just now that would dig the Japs out of the tunnels a little....

RE: Fighter XP
OK the siege begins....bombers begin to pound Iwo Jima
1st Aus Army has 3000 AV and I really hope it doesnt make progress at Bankok.....
I want to suck in defenders and I will then land behind him !!!
In the mean time I am pulling in FB's and LB's to Malaya I want to have all AF's fully operational I will smother the defenders under a torrent ofr FB's and Bombers I am going to send in hundreds of sorties a day I have stockpiled 1.5m worth of supplies to supply this offensive and the next one

RE: Fighter XP
OK some raids on my army on the move the cat is out of the bag I expect the Japs to move quickly to stop me but he cannot be 100% sure its its tavoy or bankok....I am prepping the ground attack from hell for bankok
5 Superfort Gps numerous B24 Gps and a crap load of FB's based at the 7 big AF's I have in Malaya will kick the crap out ofdefenders....I imagine WW1 style creeping barrages of air support I am also considering a short hook to flank him before the long hook goes in
I am alsoe going for the AF and Port at Iwo round the clock

RE: Fighter XP
At Iwo this is what I should have done all the long get the AF's and pound and then invade I tried to be a little to cute for my own good !!!
p.s. 3rd USMC Div is at Singapore and in 80/95 so I dont expect it to need to long to be combat effective

RE: Fighter XP
Perhaps you can use Iwo and maybe even the DEI as training ground for your naval aircraft in the same way that PZB is training in China? Would that help -- or is the real underlying problem the number of airframes?

It might help - but not as much as you'd think.
Allies face a problem of diminishing returns: if you fly pilots to bomb rocks, they rack up missions, and once they get over 100, they start to get rotated out - including Chinese.
AFAIK - the Japanese don't face this problem. So, they can train a guy up to 80 with 100 missions, and not have to worry about him disappearing off the roster. i've noticed that Andy has had pretty good luck with pilot retention... in my games, i almost always had pilots rotate out by around 125 missions.
Also, it makes it a bit more difficult to complain about the problems of the game when you exploit the same foibles you want eliminated.
RE: Fighter XP
Yup it doesnt really work for the allies and I don't want to lose my moral high ground for bitching whining and gerenally being a PITA

That's true. In my oldest PBEM (just hit 7 Dec 42) I have some pilots that have upwards of 280-300 missions under their belts. No sign of them rotating out....
Well actually they do rotate out, in the form of KIA or MIA. [:(]

RE: Fighter XP
An interesting turn PZB tried to hit me at Marcus with unescorted bombers......P51's met them and looks tlike the P51's had a field day...
Its a long way to retire with battledamage....
Prince William will probably sink she was already heavily damaged.
My raids on Iwo were a total success destroying a lot of aircraft and keeping the AF closed down.
BUT
PZB has a carrier operating East of Marcus - this is what KB should be doing IMO in 44 and 45 hitting allied LOC far easier to do a lot of damage at low cost and I know I have beenn nudged.
A convoy off of Borneo had its LRCAP socked in and paid the price 3rd Aus Div will arrive a little battered methinks

Its a long way to retire with battledamage....
Prince William will probably sink she was already heavily damaged.
My raids on Iwo were a total success destroying a lot of aircraft and keeping the AF closed down.
BUT
PZB has a carrier operating East of Marcus - this is what KB should be doing IMO in 44 and 45 hitting allied LOC far easier to do a lot of damage at low cost and I know I have beenn nudged.
A convoy off of Borneo had its LRCAP socked in and paid the price 3rd Aus Div will arrive a little battered methinks

RE: Fighter XP
OK I sent in some Destroyers to hit Iwo and they did their job - Lardner takes a Kami but it was worth it.
I Have 2 Carrier TF's north of Borneo searching for Tankers and in support of a renewed sub offensive lets see how it goes.
Sigint says a Jap Inf Div is heading to SEA on tranports lets see if I can catch em.....Wake should hit lvl 5 tomorrow in which case B29's will start to support the attack on Iwo
