I did say that the Japanese won very many battles merely that they did make a notable change in their tactics perhaps if they had done this change much sooner it could have made a difference well not really they did have rather poor merchant shipping indeed and it only got better thanks to US Navy subs and air power.

I think what let the Axis side down was much more their high leadership they where idiots and forced bad decisions that their troops had to obey.The German solider,airman,sailor was very professional even at the very end of the war for the most part.

Take Stalingrad the original plan was to take the oil fields but Hitler had to take Stalingrad so he split an army to do so this was a stupid idea and cost them.You should never split your forces like this go after one target destroy it then go after the next.
