Henderson Field.

I'm currently off Guadalcanal on the 30th of October waiting for the Naval battles to occur and hit the Tokyo Express when it shows up. As I sat there my radar picked up incoming Japanese planes heading to Henderson Field. I decided to watch them bomb it and I must say the AI for the planes is severely lacking. If they had stopped diving into the ground i'm sure they could have actually damaged the place.

I'm about 12 days ahead of you, and I agree. 3 careers ago I was laying off Attu and in the course of 10 hours I counted 47 P-38s shot down by AAA. I think someone would get court martialed over that.

By the way, what do 12 Tokyo Express DDs do when the light cruiser leading them is sunk? Hastily flee the danger scene to deliver their massed deckloads of troops & supplies? No! They ALL hunt you. I waited through 3 hours of the most constant depth charging ever, then watched the sonar tracks disappear south and west, then raised my scope and 3 of the bastards were still sitting there waiting for me. Good thing the game can't model 1200 idle soldiers with rifles spotting a periscope.
