There is evidence and activity, but so far the Allied fighter umbrella has contained the menace. There are also very significant concentrations of fighters that do not defend, and therefore are either kamikaze, escorts for kamikaze (bombers), or both. Soon after Saishu To will be the invasion of Kumamoto, and Nagasaki has >350 fighters and is only 1 hex away. Measures will be taken!ORIGINAL: Macclan5
Hi Witpqs...
Nice updates - thank you.
I wonder if you could take a moment to elaborate on Kamikaze ?
You have mentioned however only in passing. Usually as a function of number of planes or just a few attacks. I think going back a few pages I may recall one hit on a CVE (??) but perhaps not even that - perhaps that was just a regular hit or a sub.
You are landing troops, sweeping, bombing, etc etc etc.
Your opponent is obviously in bad shape but I presumed and assumed he marshaled a significant force of Kamikaze for end game i.e. attack on the Home Islands.
But no such evidence ?
Shouldn't be long now.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
