Well, defeating the AI because of a known AI weakness is gamey. It is like challenging a blind man to a game of eye-spy. I really don't think that the air strikes during Midway were intentionally uncoordinated (fighters did never meet up with the bombers they were supposed to escort), or else the guy who planned it should be tried and executed for malously throwing away pilot's lives. However, just because the US weren't able to do it at Midway does NOT mean that they would not be able to do it at anytime, anywhere during this period. Should the base be large enough, and equipped with ground personell, a strike COULD be done the very next day, as what really is the difference if the planes flew off the carriers to attack, or flew off the carriers, landed and refueled, had the crew rest up, then flew off to attack the next morning other than the stop-over? So, you are both wrong, the strike itself ISN'T gamey, but the act of guaranteeing that the AI will be drawn in to be defeated by this strike IS gamey. It would be like the Japanese dropping all aircraft in New England, and having their empty carrier fleet draw in the USN carriers.
