    Have you ever tried to get your torpedo bombers and/or dive bombers to all attack at the same time as each other?
    When you run them in in little groups of three or four it seems to let the enemy ships concentrate their fire.
    In a big group, it might overwhelm the defences and you may lose less planes.

    Loving this series so far but as an Indonesian I do have to both laugh and cringe a bit on your pronunciation of the cities of the Dutch East Indies (Which is ofc now Indonesian cities), your Surabaya though is excellent. Just a tip, we don't have any 'ae' to pronounce any As, we use that for 'ei'. So for example Balikpapan it should be Baaleekpaapaan, all As pronounced like in 'Java'.

    Well, I guess this why you don't damaged ships with fires unattended, and Hibiki would've easily survived if it weren't for that magazine explosion, too. It's a minor grievance in the big picture, though, I've always believed that you could suppress/beat the ABDACOM fleet with 3 CAs (preferably Takaos), with some CL and DD escort in a surface fight.
    That being said, it's fun to see the IJN bring out the capital ships, because the way I see it the IJN gets serious once they bring out the flattops, especially the Kido Butai.

    Great fun as always, with nail-biting action. I agree that surface warfare is where the game shines. My humble take on getiing the solution up in poor visibility is early identification and lots of starshells from secondaries and destroyers, often renewed. The Japanese can't compete with enemy radar unless they have overwhelmingly superior firepower, and even then without sight on target they suffer unnecessary damage and loss. Gambatte kudasai!

If you think that some pixel captain on them had decided to send his pixel men to certain doom to save their pixel comrades in other ships... Well, it all gains a certain feel. Can't quite shake it off, especially with the shots of ships going down. In fact this game is extremely brutal if you know your naval combat.
