The details are amazing and later moves by the AI are improving. I lost Wake island after repeatedly trying to defend it, when the Japanese brought up overwhelming force. And the Japanese are running Patrols around the PI now with multiple Battleships. I can no longer raid shipping in the PI and the nearby areas. I could force a Coral Sea scenario right now but I don't trust the randomness of a carrier attack. I have three carriers refueling at Sydney and the Japanese have two carriers off the coast of Rabaul. The odds really aren't that bad, but I am not reloading saves and I am going to play safe. I need to think this over. Those two carriers were part of the KB and I have no idea where the other four are located. This is a whole lot more fun that stock WiTP. Anyway, like you, the Japanese in my game have split their carriers up.
I've noticed that in carrier based airstrikes, I see "Akagi Kate", "Kaga Val", etc, etc when they are attacking my planes. Based on that kind of info, the TF south of Kandari is the main strike force of CV's, probably from Eniwetok or Truk since I spotted them headed west approaching New Guinea (still have patrol planes at Amboina and Kendari). I have no idea what's in that Luzon force, I've only seen Kates attacking so figure it's another CVL. The MSF might have all six CV's in it; when I put my cursor on them I get a rough # of planes and it seems about right for six still. That means my CV's in the Central Pac don't have any friends to play with right now!
