Dealing with Tokyo AA?

[santino250]

Hi All!!

Hope everyone had a happy holiday season!!! I am in late 12/45 as the Allies!! I have conquered halp of japan proper midway and west...

Now I am trying to flatten Tokyo by bombardment, but my bombers take huge loses from flak.... I fly at multiple altitudes, with hundreds of fighters, both escort and sweep..... I loose few fighters but my bombers are desimated by FLAK!!!


Any Advise??? Also They show 620 plus units stationed there... I was hoping to even the odds a little with bombing, but at these rates I will, I will not last till the end!!!

How much are you actually losing? Every attack will take a lot of supply to shoot a bunch of AA at you, and in 12/45 with half of Japan invaded, there can't be much left, right?

Manpower attacks at night, kill the HI/LI, no supply, no more flak. You may have to bomb the fields a bit to finish up as well.

If I remember correctly, low level (6,000-8,000 ft) night attacks worked historically. In game, the attacks start fires that destroy LI and LI.

Find out what ceiling Japanese AA guns have, and keep flying higher

I think it's heavy AA so flying higher and getting hits isn't possible.

Only thing you can do is fly higher.

From my experience, this is end game. You will never be able to cause enough damage to make a difference before you run out of bombers, no matter what alltitude you fly at. It's just a fact of life in playing against the AI.

You could also just not bomb Tokyo if you really want to keep playing. Go around it, take the rest.
