Admitedly I should not have fought that last battle at all.....facing 10 IJN flattops with only 2 USN CV and a CVL + 3 Brit CV's. Ah well......if only i'd have allocated more fighters for escort i would have knocked out a good number of his carriers. Next time.....just you WAIT! [:'(]
-Well, it were three USN CVīs (Saratoga, Wasp and Essex) and 11 IJN CVīs (counting Hosho). You had about 300 planes against my 550, but if you consider the relation (planes: sum of enemy CV durability) the relationship was largely favorable to Japan. In the end you lost three CVīs, but I had a CV and a CVL with moderate damage (about 40 for Shoho and Kaga). I think that such a battle in v.8.0 will result in the anihilation of two fleets, but itīs also possible that in large battles the bigger number of CAP surviving air combat will eventually result in more bombers shot down and less overall damage to fleets.

My battle with Speedy was much more even in the allocation though all 3 flatops on my part survived while his two were sunk. Thats the good news for me. The bad news....is that Shokaku and Zuikaku were both crippled and will be out for at least 8 months with 70ish SYS damage (and a long perilous trip back to Japan) Shoho will probably out for 4-6 months. Had i been hit with 1000LB bombs or any torpedoes, I would have lost at least one CV i'm sure.
-Alternatively you could try to repair them in Truk, at least until they are able to survive the trip back. In our game, I kept Sho at Truk until her sys decreased to 45 and the sent it back to Japan, of course, this would have eventually resulted in one year of repairs but I didnīt lose her. I think that if the enemy had 1000lb bombs you would have lost the three CVīs.
