This is probably wishful thinking on my part, but I would love to see a 'strategic overlay' (for lack of a better term) that would dictate reinforcements and redeployments for both sides. Something that would order a player to hold back assets, or even send them back to PH/Tokyo, based on situations far outside what UV covers. It could be historically based, or not (Japanese victory at Midway for example).

A filter/tutorial? Sounds like an off-sceen WitP.

Kinda, but without the 'God's eye view' of the entire strategic map as I assume you get with WitP (don't own the game so can't be sure).

I think it would add another level of realism if the UV player is ordered to prepare division X or squadron Y for possible redeployment offmap, yet isn't told exactly why and for how long. That, IMO, would go a long way towards restricting both sides from throwing the kitchen sink forward.
