Why is that?

In the 1123n (not the latest, but close to) I had the KB launch 10 days of strikes against Pearl. Because the airfield damage was so high on the first day, the CAP get getting punched in the nose.

Status: offline 		My PH heavy loses were mostly due to AA; with beta patch from February. AI loves to do strafe attacks, so I guess it had to be worst

Maybe my definition of horrendous is different than yours... but just AA would kill 10 to 15 of my bomber veterans per attack after surprise day1, between direct hits and OP losses
At least that is what happened on my game, and I didn't do any strafing/ low level attacks; just 10K regular dive bombing/ level bombing.


Going back on the original topic; I would seriously think about reloading/ restarting; that is not typical AI behaviour

regards

How big is your CAP? Some US fighter air groups at Pearl Harbour have leaders with DISMAL stats. I always change those leaders on the first day to make sure the maximum number of fighters flies CAP just in case the KB strikes again.

The AI plays by running different scripts. There are several different sets of scripts. The set is chosen when you start the game.

Each set of scripts has the AI taking slight variations on the historical expansion. You hit the script which has the AI stay at Pearl for several days of strikes.

I just started a new DaBabes C Ironman scenario with stacking limits and I hit this same script. The AI did pretty poorly on airfield damage and planes destroyed in the opening strike and the next few days it only managed to sink one additional BB at the cost of heavy airframe losses to CAP and AA. I didn't succeed in making a surface interception, although I tried repeatedly.

Overall the AI will follow a historical path of expansion, although in Ironamn scenarios at least, it does so at an accelerated pace. The script set chosen at game start will determine what historical deviations it pursues such as staying at Pearl and invading outside the historical perimeter at places like Canton, Noumea, Suva, Geraldton...etc.

You can get them here. They should also be used with DaBabes as well.
