B-17E Fortress: 1 destroyed, 10 damaged
first combat appearance of the IJAAF's new twin engined fighter bomber, the Nick... we've placed one unit at Port Moresby as it was crystal clear that sooner or later the 4Es from Australia will show up again and a small number of fighters wouldn't scare Mundy and I was delighted watching the replay as the bombers hardly were able to drive off the 2E fighter bombers and damage done to them was light... those fortresses were hit hard even though only 1 shows up as shot down over the target...
Aircraft Attacking:
5 x B-17E Fortress bombing from 8000 feet
Port Attack: 8 x 500 lb GP Bomb

Estimated time to target is 7 minutes
Japanese aircraft
Ki-45 KAIa Nick x 13
Allied aircraft
LB-30 Liberator x 6
No Japanese losses
Allied aircraft losses
LB-30 Liberator: 2 destroyed, 4 damaged
same as before the Fortresses were followed by Liberators that are easier to shoot down than the B-17... with only 13 Nicks left the enemy loses 7 all his Liberators from this attack, in total the two dozen Nicks at Port Moresby down 10 enemy heavy bombers for the loss (write offs) of 2 Nicks, no pilots were lost... great result, makes these fighter bombers the known good defenders vs long range unescorted bomber strikes... their only downside is their low gun value of 10 which actually is only a gun value of 8 from forward firing guns...
sidenote, if you look at the flown sorties of both sides you can clearly see that literally every allied aircraft must be used for training all over the map

Aircraft Attacking:
3 x LB-30 Liberator bombing from 8000 feet
Port Attack: 8 x 500 lb GP Bomb
