Maybe she will be captured!

USS Musashi!

Yeh probably .... and Yamato has 115 days to go. My hope is in my CV to get in a few lucky strikes.

I never had so many sub-attacks on CV- ever in all the years of playing. My subs do have radar, and the dean, I think, does not use ASW TF to follow his CV - well, this will teach him. 9/1/45

It did cost me the loss of 7 subs and 3 damaged in two days.

I am going to attack next turn as well - my CV TFS has been undetected ( I hope in the opposite place to where he thinks they may be) . We will take out the Formosa landings, then run back to Singapore - then we will base from there.

Attack! Results were a bit underwhelming for the loss of a lot of planes - now we have to run as the last strike even got cancelled by the weather. Allied main CV groups coming.!

Mid Jan 45

some general screens

In December 44, the Oyodo class CLs were selected for conversion. The 6xFP are removed, and adjustments were made to the hanger and flight deck hatches to allow launchers for the first crude ship-to-ship missiles. US and IJN both soon deploy them on SS as well. This mod, remember, has tech advancing about 3 x historical by mid-44.

This turn, 12th Jan 45, the first action took place with 2 of the CLs damaged, but a US DD was sunk by a combination of gunfire and missile hits.

Not war changing but it adds a lot of chrome for the last desperate days of Empire.

Game note - after about 3 goes, I finally got them working to about the degree required, The patch is coming soon, and all the changes will work with games in progress.

Anti-ship missiles. COOL chrome!

Yep, and it's working well - not too much, not too little, but first, the ships have to get in a range...I also got the okra working by fiddling with the settings, now getting a few hits. New patch 3.0d with these settings coming soon

16-21 Jan 45

Allies on a rampage - landings all over the shop , fuel from DEI cut, then they ambush my CV in Singapore and try to refit their planes - not quite enough supply, a big mess, but we fight on. B29 raid trashes about 50 AC Engine FTY on the mainland as well.

around 2000 aircraft lost on both sides in the last 5 days plus a lot of ships but the allies have suffered a bit to.

Plenty of screens to consider

Ongoing war....

and more horrid screens

and finally

I guess at this point it is no longer about force preservation, just about hurting the Allies whichever way and at whatever cost.
Looks like you are biting back pretty good!
