Late in '44 the Allies move a group of 5 CV, all 90%+, near Japan.

Combat results; 1 carrier sunk, 1 nearly sunk, 0 Japanese air losses... [8|]

WAD?

I do not believe that they do anymore...but I could be wrong.

They used to in WP Europe.

Looks like bad luck as I ALWAYS lose my air attacking any naval units other than subs.
