... AFBs will tell me the Wellington Ic are junk, but they have good range, durability, and decent payload. Sure they don't compare to top tier Allied bombers, but used correctly they are very good I think. I wish Japan had something equivalent.
Those will be AFBs who cannot win unless everything is stacked heavily in their favour.
There is nothing wrong with the Wellingtons. They are best used as night bombers which of course is what they were mainly used in the ETO until the British 4Es became available. Daylight operational usage where enemy fighters are present will see them perform like all other 2E bombers unless they are well escorted. Few AFBs are prepared to escort their bombers, preferring instead to use sweeps ineffectively.

Have you got the range to hit those aircraft factories at Komsomolsk with night bombing?
I know its not much use as Japan, but still

How are you fuel and oil levels without access to Sumatra? Balikpapan would seem vulnerable to either the 4e beasties or a BB TF.
