Status: offline 		From may 5-14th 1942 i decided to send a TF with the yorktown and Enterprise to float around Moresby as i knew that was close to the historical Coral sea battle date.
Got Extremely lucky sunk the Junyo, Shokaku, and the Akagi with no losses to my TF except for like 80% of my planes, and there is still a single Carrier TF within 5 hexes of me. I currently have like 19 SBD's and TBD's together and like 30 fighters.
Im gunna try and get this 4th carrier and afterwards do i have to return to PH to get plane replacements or can i dock at Brisbane or Sydney and stay there a while and get plane replacements?

What is very different is that CVs can only replenish their air sorties and torpedo sorties from a level 6 or 7 port respectively. A CV which has it's airgroups fully equipped but with no sorties left is just a target, not a threat, for the enemy.

Why do you say that?

Your carrier air units are not that large. Even a squadron which has not a single plane left will only take 2 replacement intakes at most to be fully requipped. In most instances one intake should suffice.

Of course if your pools are close to empty, that is another matter and totally unrelated to the OP.

If you have the airframes in the pools, the answer is yes, it doesn't take that long to fully reequip your squadrons. Two intakes maximum will suffice but some of your squadrons will only need one intake.

That's up to 12 each week, for each individual squadron on each carrier. Most US CV's have 4 squadrons in '42, so you can draw up to 12 fighters, 2x12 dive bombers, and 12 torpedo bombers each week. Assuming you have enough planes in your pools and have enough supply at Sydney.
