Well, guess that battle equalized the table a bit! I didn’t ask if you wanted to submerge since I assumed you wanted the subs for fodder?
Also, when I have been playing with Innohub, we have taken fighters off before the AC. The reason is that you can withdraw after you have taken out the carrier, and let the fighters sink in the sea… However, I didn’t do this this time, since I knew I was going to fight til the end, I saved your fighters for last.

But in the future, I think we should have this praxis as a default, that is, take the fighters off before the carrier. What do you say?

Naval battle casualties are complex - I would appreciate if, in such cases, you msg me with how many hits you have, and attach save game. I’ll decide. Sometimes I take one fighter and something else.

Sure, we can do like this. It takes a bit more time, but if one if getting email notification from this site it shouldn’t be an issue.

Nice with the bomber, finally I got some luck as well :)
