The mass 4e bombers are deadly late in the war. The nick does ok early on. You need 2 to 3 cannon armed fighters to every bomber.
Uhm, no. The allied 4Es are paper tigers. They really only shine during a short period in 42 before the Nick and George show up. After that allied 4Es are forced to stay within fighter cover which severely limits their range and use.
When OPS losses are accounted for allied players will lose about 0.75-1 4E for each airborne Japanese 2nd Gen fighter (or later). With the low replacement numbers on 4Es a single Japanese aerial ambush can cost you months of replacements. This is especially true late in the war.

Ki-45 is your 4E fighter initially, try to get as much as you can, also choose the model wise. Having a big gun with with a slow rate of fire isn't good. This game unfortunately for most part is biased to quantities.
but both 37mm has a very mediocre accuracy. In fact for game proposes the first Nick is the best one. At least you damage more often and damaged bombers stays in airport.ORIGINAL: Yaab
And once the 4Es break through, you need flak guns to disrupt their targeting, and some engineers to repair the potential damage to infrastructure. So, you really need to have RCFE (radar, CAP, flak, engineers) in place.

If allied 4Es are a paper tiger I'd hate to see a real one. They force you to keep a big squadron at every oil station within bombing range. They force you to build three linked airbases in every place you want to defend. And eventually, they end the war.

It is gaming not to produce the fighters in line as you are using hindsight ( I am in scn 2 and building all the nicks) . that said the 37mm should be better against a big target like B17. Maybe the rating of the gun is wrong or typo?

Note that B-29 are more difficult to down than B-24's

I don't find that in my experience. For me the B-29 are more difficult to down.
