Ducimus,

Glad I got some practise in with 1.7. The new 1.9 is astounding! Just left Manila in the afternoon after a reload on December 13 1941, and just as we were passing the "Rock", and the water started getting deeper, the radar man picked up multiple contacts. A few seconds later, the watch crew started shouting out aircraft sightings. There were 9 G4M Bettys making a run on the bay, and any shipping there. They went after a couple docked ships at Cavite, and a couple fishing boats in the bay, and we only had one plane harrass us. It flew over so high, that the bomb aimer couldn't get a bead on us, aside from our turns left and right at flank speed. The bombs hit the water well clear of us, and there were no injuries. But in the future, I'm gonna wait till nightfall to run in and refuel, and rearm.

This will hold me over fine if you get away for awhile. There's nothing worse than burnin' out on something. Especially if you liked it start with.
