If there is any consolation I´m out of Corsairs now! You want some Wildkittens? I have 1500 in the pool I have no use for!

I think Air Combat TFs are capped at 25 ships. How many CV/CVL/CVE do you have, and how many BB/CA/CL/CLAA escorts total? Can't really tell you how to split up your ships without knowing what ships you're bringing.

If you check out FatR's AAR he put nearly the whole KB in one TF and utterly wrecked an Allied carrier fleet with it, so the penalty is no sure thing. That's just one anecdotal example though, I don't know what the average penalty suffered by 500+ plane TFs.

I just started using xAKs to help move it forward. I have two Tanker TFs trying to empty Noumea and Suva where I have almost 1 million fuel altogether. The problem is New Guinea. I have only 200.000 at Finschhafen and 40.000 at Sarmi. This won´t last long and I need to restock this quickly. Even though I topped off the fleet when leaving Wake it still took almost 100k fuel to fill everything up again. How Erik can zoom around with the KB like he does is a mystery to me. I have diverted more tankers from the WC to help move stuff out of Suva/Noumea. I have another 3 million Fuel at OZ but I need it at NG. Now!
