Yea, NF and MPB are pretty darn good if you are encountering KJF. Otherwise, MPB and Tokyo Express are better,IMHO. (NF doesn’t work for bombardments, so they are very mitigated if America flees from Japanese supremacy in the Pacific.)
Banzai’s too nerfed in LHTR. If it was more like how they are in enhanced, they’d be much better, IMHO. (You can use them in conjunction with artillery, armor, fighters and bombers in enhanced, but not in LHTR.)
