ORIGINAL: brian brian WiF makes cheap land-based air sooo dominant at sea ... and then reinforces this by handing out bases for land-based air like candy, and MWiF will magnify this. There are so many islands for the defending side at the time to defend, it is better to just counterattack the ones the offensive side starts to base planes on, if you can. Once the other side has the right island, an HQ and an engineer, the long range A6M2 or P-38s or F4U's or F6F's make huge sea zones into a no-go zone for your precious CVs. The way I see it for this case, then you must have your own land based support aircraft if you want your fleet, even your CVs, penetrating such a defended sea zone. I have seen an american player get blasted when going with his fleet without proper support in such a defended sea zone. In a sea battle the american was unfortunate he lost 4 carriers and the japanese had one carrier damaged and a couple of NAVs shut down.
