Mike, given the huge morale and fatigue penalties carrier squads now suffer when hitting insignificant targets, it is really imperative we be given the ability to specify which targets the CV's should hit.
It is currently impossible to sortie into enemy territory without one's CV pilots turning into jabbering mounds of jellow after a few days...hitting rubbish TF's etc.
If a player wants to target AP's etc then leave the option open for the player to have the current settings but we REALLY need the ability to select target types.
Also, why do CV taskforces currently react towards enemy carriers and then launch against secondary targets?

Also, on a related note, I don't believe the attack radius planned for WITP is necessary.
The problem with out-of-control LBA flying to their doom could be fixed with a toggle switch "Fly with escort only" in conjunction with the ability to select target types.

When I was asking for an " attack CV only " order it was for an other reason.
When your CVTF is approaching ennemies waters you may find transports or other ships you really don't want to attack because you don't want to take losses and fatigue when a major CV battle can occur ONE OR TWO DAYS AFTER.
The problem is not the day of the battle but the days BEFORE.

Also, even a base with no bomber but just fighters is a threat for your CVTF If a few transports are in port and in range of your planes they will strike and fight with the CAP. Why should I fear bases with no bomber?

As a trick, you can put a Tf one day ahead of your CVs to reduce the effectiveness of your opponent strikes the day after,
etc...

In most of cases I just want my CVs to attack NOTHING ( NADA! RIEN !)untill they meet the ennemy CVTF. And of course, using the "stand down" order may not be appropriate ....

Thanks for your response. It's more clear for me now.
And congratulations for this game, which is wonderful.
In 1992, i played with Pacific War (SSI) and now i wait for the new version.
