Belle victoire sur Pago Pago!!

Par contre, 41 cargo, c'est pas beaucoup??
Je ne me rends pas compte de combien tu en as au total: 400, 500, 1000?

41 cargo représente environ 30% de mes effectifs en cargo coulé (138).
j'en ai encore 817 et j'en aurais au total durant la partie 1447! donc c'est beaucoup au niveau de mes pertes actuelles, mais peu au niveau global!

30 Décembre 1942 - Opération surprise à Madras

Ki-44-IIc Tojo Aircraft R&D Accelerated Production accelerated to 10/43 Information

En inde, A madras, il semble que ce soit le port principal qui ravitaille en essence Chittagong et Calcutta.
On avait essayé d'attaquer directement dans le port avec nos sous-marins, mais impossible d'approcher les tankers ennemis.
On a donc changé notre fusil d’épaule et décidé d’envoyer 2 vieux destroyers attaquer directement dans le port.
Mission réussit!! J'en connait un qui a du avoir une sacré surprise!
On peut considérer les 3 navires comme coulés! très content de mon opération!
Aucune réplique de chef, ni aérienne ni navale ne
sera enregistré.

1 Janvier 1943 - R&D

Voila le programme de R&D complet . ça progresse fort dans certain domaine surtout sur les avions embarqué avec bientôt 3 nouveaux modèles pour les chasseurs (A6M5b), les bombardiers en piqué D4Y1 Judy et les bombardiers torpilleurs B6N1 Jill.



voici le tableau de perte des chasseurs et ensuite le total. toujours beaucoup de perte opérationnel de mon coté, pour quel raison? entrainement range 0? car je laissais par défaut avant.





Question pilotes, 5 double as, dont seulement 2 encore vivant et une tripoté d'As... On voit apparaitre les nouveaux as en bas sur Ki44-Tojo, due aux combats au nord de la Birmanie.
