Question on Fleet interdiction - 5/21/2021 4:00:15 PM

Status: offline 		What does "Night Action vs. Carrier group" mean, and how do I avoid it? I had what should have been a better fleet, and it came out poorly. Is that just the random nature of naval combat, or did the Japanese get an advantage from a night interdiction?

The situation is: While I was busy in the Solomons, the Japanese invaded Hawaii. My carrier fleet came in from the north to avoid the Japanese CVs and was interdicted by the Haruna and 3 destroyer groups.

I am enjoying the game a lot, and appreciate the helpful comments here in the forum.

It looks to me that you just got unlucky.

The naval combat in this game is one of the best things and one of the most frustrating things. It is the best in that the outcomes can be so varied and it accurately portrays how just about anything could happen. That is of course what makes it frustrating. Just like the Japanese you can steam in with your large fleet that out matches the enemy only to be humbled.

Make sure that you did not get attacked by two separate groups.

It's happened a few times in this game. The fleet shows up in the same spot at 10-12 CV strength. It doesn't attack or interdict, but will defend if attacked.
