I wonder how the air war would turn out if the Allies had a limited number of 75 plane fighter groups (FG) vs the 3 x 25 fighter squadrons (FS) they get now??
When playing the Allies I really hated the 75-plane fighter groups that could not be split (a later rendition of the WITP scenarios allowed them to be split) because of the airfield stacking limitations. It wound up preventing the Allies (USA at least) from even having fighters at some locations.ORIGINAL: ny59giants

My understand is that it is the number of factories in research.ORIGINAL: Lowpe
Since I started playing in Ubuntu, I haven't gotten Tracker working yet. Haven't tried to be honest.
I did upgrade to the latest Ubuntu LTS -- 14.04. I have played around with the screen shot programs and paint programs.
Anyhow, here is a picture of my vehicle factories. I don't even want to look at how many vehicles I need, especially trucks.[:(] A bombing campaign here would definitely hurt, and I see the loss of motorized support having multiple bad effects...and no trucks in artillery makes them very brittle, although they don't seem to slow down any. Go figure.
Who knows what the 90-rd means?
Taking Hokkaido, puts all of the scen1 engine factories within reach and I would recommend AFBs to
pursue that strategy if they go Hokkaido, depending upon game circumstances.

Shhhhhh!!!!! Stop talking about this!!!!!
Trust me AFB, as the Japanese, we care nothing about engines. Nope. Not a bit. They are dead to us. Now Merchant Ship yards on the other hand, we absolutely care about those. Please don't bomb those. The war effort in 1945 could not go on without them. I sure hope this secret does not get out. [8D]
I am also living through the death hex north of Bangkok. I feel your pain.

I think just picking one main component of the supply chain breeds success ... I might propose for example burning down cities burns up supply and no supply no drawing planes from the pool.
I am not a JFB so I don't know the optimum strategy given the probably of getting a factory hit vs. manpower/fires eating away supplies and damaging LI/(HI)
But I am sure spreading out the attacks to hit airplane factories one raid and then engines on another .. then manpower given that the IJ in the game have lots of aircraft and pilots is a sure strategy for disaster.
The IJ can eventually exhaust the Allies bomber pools (as well as fighters)

Thanks, Pax! Ask a silly question,[:D] You are of course correct.
As you can see, not much left r&d. [:D][:D] But I am swimming in oil and fuel.
Unfortunately, it doesn't show the number of factories I turned off.

Engines are getting critical. 2 months left of the HA 45 engine, only produced 4 yesterday. Tony, Judy and Myojo engines are out...can only afford to make Tonies every day, and Judies every other day. Jack production still climbing and I converted the first J2M3 squadron today -- but it is no wonder plane.
