Always leave one survivor to return to base to tell the tale

You call that carnage? Oh man, I need to send you some Combat files from my late '44 game. Your opponent is losing dozens of bombers. I've lost 100s in a turn, multiple times, with that kind of kill rate.......

More likely that 1 plane got through & sent a torp into the most valuable ship sinking it [:'(]

Nope - never got past the ATA phase in any of the attacks. Not a single AAA round expended
