WitP-AE task force "return to base" code is really weird. Especially when there is enemy air threat. I have lost some ships because of it.

E.g. having SCTF striking enemy TF in Merak (DEI), home port Batavia (DEI), one hex away.
One ship gets seriously damaged...what does code do...sends it into Tjilitjap instead of Batavia. Tjilitjap is like 10 hexes away other side of island... Absolutely ridiculous.

I have learned to avoid that by setting TF to Absolute threat tolerance, then they behave better.

Wow - best cleanup on KB I have ever seen! Makes me think the IJN's best pilots were wasted attacking land targets so you faced inexperienced ones for the carrier battle! The sub torpedoing Ryujo in the next encounter was sweet icing on the cake! Congratulations!

Re: the engineers at Soerabaja, are they low on morale or high on fatigue? Lousy leaders (low Inspiration and leadership)? Those can cause them to do nothing. Otherwise, they could be using up their ops points diving into trenches because of frequent air attacks?

Maybe it's the frequent air attacks. I am now moving some BFs to nearby base and CAP/LRCAP Soerebaja from there, it's well in range. That should split enemy's attacks and give some respite to Soerabaja. Just got also another P-40E squadron flown in from AUS now that got AF in NW AUS functional, 2 more in "pipeline".

Managed to figure out how to get my DD TF to engage in Port Moresby, not entirely satisfactorily though, but they saved TK TF and prevented 2 IJN Bombardment TFs to complete their missions. Pity that I still don't have more PT boats, they are best in that job.
