It has a chance to be challenging against AI when you play the japs. (Never play US). The economic might and vastly superior amount of equipment gives the AI an ability to be atleast in som levels competent against a human player.
In pacwar this didnt happen. US never had a chance cos the AI lacked in tactics even in the simplest levels.
(1) It always attacked the same islands.
(2) It always retreated her carriers after the first turns of invasion. Leaving the rest of the invasion fleet alone without aircover.
Japanese counterstrike with carriers on the second or third turn of US-AI invasion simply annihilated the poor US fleet causing such losses that there was no point to continue the game anymore.
***
When trying the reaction tactic against US-AI (japanese counterattack in turn 1 of US invasion) the japanese human did suffer severe losses giving the US-AI a chance to win.
So im looking forward to seeing challenging wars against the AI in WITP. Even in UV its not purely a walk in the sun if you try to wipe out the US-AI with all historic options on.(No midway carriers)
