But then again, that is the perfect place to cover with 4x SC in each port (in an ASW TF), and one decently trained air unit on ASW. Add to that 2-4 PB's per cargo TF, and losses should be light... at least until the US torpedoes get fixed :S
My only defense to that is short patrol lines and frequent rotation of subs along the Japanese coast. OR my other option is to make him use up all these assets in the Home Is. and then just send the subs elsewhere...hehehe [:D][;)][:D]

You have a very valid point there. The IJN does not have enough SC's to patrol every important port. That is why converting as many merchantmen to PB's, and training as amany air units in ASW is so important. But choke points lihe Ominato/Hakodate and Fusan/Shimonoseki need to be patrolled heavily, or losses may go beyond acceptable levels.

I cannot claim any credit, reading these AAR's is where I got the plan. [&o][&o][&o]
Plus the advice and knowledge given here has been invaluable. the "sub short patrols" and rotating them come directly from reading the AAR's. I've never had to do that against the AI...

Here's a third surface action related to the first two. I'm surprised I didn't hit any mines at all.

I appear to have wiped out an entire TF near Baker Island but they had probably already unloaded their troops there.

Another Allied raid on Buna that didn't do much.

And then an Allied raid using the B-17's that didn't do much. At least I damaged some of them.

And then nothing special happens for a while. Then there's some ASW action near Singkawang.

And then all of a sudden, the Clark Field defenders collapse.

Some of the Clark Field victors are obviously going to have to be moved to Manila to help out there.

And then all of a sudden the Palembang defenders caved in.
