I have to admit that invisible subs is starting to irritate me. I'm still not convinced that they are too powerful. Oh well, still cranking out transports for target practise.

Destroyed airfield at Kwaljein. Destroyed radar tower near Saipan. Bombed the crap out of Tokyo area.

I think it a shameless cheat to base Dive bombers on airfields with no defenses. In real life you would have lost your units on the ground, but because of CIV's bug you can get away with it.

You could have destroyed the empty airfields when you had the chance
instead of bombing my gem mines, which didn't seem to have any effect
at all.

 

[El_Tigre]

Victories all over the place:

- Manokwari captured by Marines, NI and Flak killed, two Zeros destroyed on the ground. Surprise!
- Marine south of Manokwari bombarded
- DD and Transport sunk by planes southwest of Palau
- sunk an I-boat east of Townsville. Looks like my backyard is clean again.
- Flak and Rifleman killed by Anzacs near Hanoi, roads pillaged

Very true. Everything is a tradeoff. Now if I could only find those big fat empty CVs of yours. At the rate you dispersed your air units, there aren't many planes going around anymore.
