F167 - LF6 - go to 4.6.x and watch for Allies from the West or South West. There is DAR at 173, 174 which can't be attacked which ill make it impossible to sneak into the inland sea with alt or go overland with alt from the West. Please keep a couple planes low to watch for TBF which will probably be NOE.

For anti-bomber missions those aircraft with the Type 99-2 cannon are the strongest with the Ho-5 cannon being a close second. Save your 7.7mm for making your enemy break, the strong cannons are about 9-10 times as powerful as the peashooters. And the Japanese have some of the strongest peashooters in the game due to HE effects.
