Yeah it’s Saipan - 2 flotillas of landing craft are going for the Island on the right, another group for the left Island with the JP airfield (with useles af aaa); the F6F bots are attacking also this island.
Agreed - it was a nightmare, even when they gave US planes (finally) an airstart too - u had to kill the G4M1 bot bombers, a hell of patrol boats and you were totally outclimbed…
Yes - to a certain degree.
But since about 3-4 years we have these very small matches which effectively kills your chances to fulfill any objectives. I mean in a 6 vs 6 match on Iwo jima you need to kill 18 cargo ships before they release endless waves of landing craft - which launch tanks if they make it to the beach.
Even if you were good enough to kill 10 cargo ships with 10 x 60 kg bombs (TT B7A2) you got overwhelmed by the rest. But since ~ 1 or 1,5 years gaijin buffed aaa on escorting cruisers and the cargo ships itself; i lost a hell of planes due to that.
Same story with Saipan - you can wipe out one of the 3 landing craft flotillas and their tanks within a very small time window of 2-4 seconds with a perfectly aimed 800 kg bomb at exactly the time when the reach the beach - but the other 2 will win for them.
