I targeted Batavia for airstrikes but underestimated their AA, sending my bombers in at just 10,000 feet and losing a Sally to flak. Better make it at least 15,000.
SOPAC
As the KB leaves the Australian coast, I thought I'd hit the port at Brisbane due to it being a very convenient repair shipyard, especially for submarines, so hopefully I'd finish a few off. No such luck. There were 14 Kittyhawks on patrol; we shot down 5 of them while losing 2 Zeroes to them, along with 2 Kates. The port was basically empty, we hit (and probably sank) an AKL but that's it.
