Wait -- I haven't even voted in this game yet!

Ahhh, ok. He sure has a lot of benefits this scenario. Do you have anything material or are the allies pretty much stock?

[edit] And FWIW, pilot training is such a huge pain in the rear end that I often forget to swap out my training pilots into the general reserve. I still haven't figured out what the group reserves are for.

The Allies have a bunch of ahistorical ships and planes. For example, USS Scourge and USS Hamilton (both battleship/carrier hybrids) were active at the start of the game, and IIRC they're currently undergoing refits to full (if not impressive) carriers. EDIT: And the Scythes you see scattered throughout the airwar pictures are British prototype heavy? fighters that never actually entered production in the real world.

Eh, Tone's actually relatively important, at least in historical terms. I don't know how WitP handles things or what about this has been changed by the mod, but IRL the IJN carriers didn't actually carry recon aircraft, that was done by the heavy cruisers like Tone. And the IJN didn't build very many (any? I'd have to check) new heavy cruisers over the course of the war.

Of course, Pharnakes is unlikely to risk a completely irreplacable asset on a raid like this, so it's probably relatively less valuable than in the real war, but still.

Can tell how happy you were with those mouse cursor squiggles in the carrier fight. It has to feel good to get a complete W finally.
