The ground losses do seem a bit high. In fact looking at figures from Wikipedia ([:-]I know) that by 1945 there were 5,5 million men in the IJA, it seems that you have just destroyed half of the whole IJA.

Seems like a bug esp when you think they were attacking you with their air force.

Couldn't be FOW?

In a clash between carriers, a middle sized Japanese city is believed to have been sunk, although reports have yet to be verified when the aviators involved in the battle have sobered up.

It's a stack overflow. If you maybe spent a little time finding out what sort of losses the Japs ACTUALLY suffered in this attack before posting...
