Air Raid!
Massive air raids cost the Allies dearly. 52 planes are lost, 33 to flak (19 SBDs). Good thing the bases are well supplied. Just wait until Kenny sees what awaits his landing forces. No more easy invasions to be had. [:-]

Sub Warfare Report Update
Good news for AFB's...the Allied Sub Doctrine has expired. [:D] Here are the results.
First 6 months of 1943 = 30 Ships sunk, 5 subs lost
Last 30 days = 15 Ships sunk, 1 sub lost
I've gone from 5 ships sunk per month, to 15 ships sunk per month. Thats a 200% increase, and i've only increased the number of subs on patrol by 1-2 boats.
Looks like my prediction was right...when i posted this 1 month ago....
i was only off by 1 transport, and with the lowering of my torpedo dud rate to 10% in the next month, i'll be able to add that extra sunk merchant ship per month.
now if i can only get some japanese capital ships in my sites....[;)]

"So in all, i expect my succeses to increase from the current 4-5 transports per month, to 16-18 transports per month in the coming month. This will net me 300 transports by the end of 1944....thats my prediction."
i was only off by 1 transport, and with the lowering of my torpedo dud rate to 10% in the next month, i'll be able to add that extra sunk merchant ship per month.

RE: Sub Warfare Report Update
I have changed my shipping tactics to lessen the effect of the Allied doctrine expiring. Instead of unescorted single ship convoys sailing as soon as they are full I now use multiple ship convoys every 2-3 weeks with heavy escorts.
This takes a lot more management since I have roaving ASW TFs that have to meet up with the convoys when they are ready to sail. After losing 10 ships in a week I realized that something had to be done even if it was time consuming.
I figure that there will be less sub contacts due to fewer TFs being at sea. Also, the escort can either scare off the subs, damage them, or even suck up the torpedo themselves sparing the tankers or AKs.
I have also formed fast reponse forces consisting of ARs and Naval HQs to help saved damaged ships in smaller ports. In the last 3 months 3 TK, 2AK, 1 AP, 2 SS, and 5DD have been saved as a result of these.
So far these new tactics seem to be working.

good strategy. While it only makes sense to use convoys as in real life. With the micromanaging already required in this game, its very bothersome to form such convoys on a regular basis.
The question is..... will you be able to keep this up on those late nights, when your tired after a double shift, the NJ turnpike has screwed you once again, your wife is looking over shoulder waiting for you to watch "Everybody Love's Raymond" with her, the dog is barking, the cat is tearing up your new couch, you're consumed with "The Thread", another NJ governer states he's a "proud gay american", your neighbor still hasn't given back your outdoor grill he "borrowed", they just cancelled "24", while Rosie O'donnel is now on ESPN, you just had Taco Bell, the Phillies traded Ryan Howard, Donovan McNabb is complaining, they are doing road work outside your house, and you just lost the KB............[:D]

Late nights: Who needs sleep? I actually woke up 30 minutes before my alarm today beacuse I had to get a turn out
Turnpike: I avoid it if at all possible. RT 18 is my menace
Wife only watches Dancing with the stars, knitting with the stars, ect. She knows better than to ask me to watch and with 3 TVs in the house and a Tivo there is no reason for me to
Dog/Cat: No dog (yet) and cat is declawed. Since she is almost 17 she pukes on something (me in bed recently) 2-3 times per week
Thread: Mostly at work and only because actually playing WiTP at work would cuase trouble
Gay governers: This was just to end Florida's reign as laughing stock of the USA
BBQ grill: he can have it spiders and all
24: Never saw it
Rosie on ESPN: oh the horror.[X(] But can't be worse than Dennis Miller
Taco Hell: what is the probelm? It always gives me the runs
Ryan Traded: that would have me on suicide watch
McNabb: Garcia is looking good right now
Road work: How did you know? We only have 2 seasons in NJ: winter and construction
Lost the KB: Trying to have it sunk in port in 1946.

RE: Air battle at Kai Is.
Trap was perfect, except in execution as i forgot to fly 300 P38's on CAP. Instead they just sat on the runway and waved at the Japanese flyboys [:@]
Interesting piece of information gleamed from the attack though. Only the Corsairs and Thunderbolts did well against the Zero's, surffering no losses or even damage. Even when out numbering the Zero's 10:1, my 1st generation fighters are a sorry bunch

to be fair the CA Australia, CA Canberra, CL Leander, CL Achilles were verterns from night combat off Rabual early in the war. Plus i staffed my warships with my most aggressive captians. Nevertheless, i'm still surprised about the onesideness of the battle
RE: Air battle at Kai Is.
Must be the leader ratings. I did not assign the leader since I was just moving the TF to Menado for a future raid.
The ships were all vets of the bombardment of Karachi so their ratings should have been good.
I guess leaders are really important.
