Returning to AE after many years away. Playing vanilla scenario 1 vs Jap AI.
It's 9 December 1941 and the KB has been loitering in the same spot from initial setup and has continuously bombed Pearl Harbor every day since the initial raid. All 8 BB's are now on the bottom.
I don't ever remember the AI being this aggressive before. Is this something new?
The same happend to me, the KB hit Pearl Harbour again on the second day and sunk another BB and some smaller ships (they sunk 2 BB on their initial strika).
What I did was this:
I created a emergency surface taskforce consisting of one fast CA, one fast CL and six destroyers (put them on reaction range 3) and then charged the KB taskforce at full speed in a night surface battle.
This cost me the CA, the CL and 4 DDs but I sunk the Tone and one jap DD. But most important I managed to land a bunch of shell hits in four of the six carriers (Hiryu was on fire).
The turn after the japs retreated launching a last extended strike with only half the number of planes, of which my cap at Pearl shot down a dozen.
When the KB reappeared in the Dutch territories a month later there where only 4 carriers, the others where in shipyards.
