Jap AI stuck circling Java with CV TF with depleted airgroups

[wild_Willie2]

Hi there.

In my 1084 game as the allies, the Jap AI is stuck circling Java with a CV TF wich lo longer has any attack planes left.

The AI wasted al it's Kates and Vals attacking ports and airfields and none left but is still circling Java ( is now located 3 hexes NE of Batavia)

If al attack planes are depleted should't the AI go and get some new ones ?

This is one of the problems with playing the AI...

I reported the same thing with the KB on its raid in the Indian Ocean...

Patch 2 will help with this.

In a situation like this, can the player open a save as the Japanese player, give that CV TF a return order, save, and then reopen the game as the allies? I'm asking, I guess, whether there are side-effects I am not able to anticipate.
