lbb vs. ijn cv's?

[vincef21]

i have port moseby up to a #7 airbase with some ff, mitchell, marauder squadrons also 1 dauntless unit based there all on naval attack
ijn cv force attacks my task force at dobdura, ijn well within range of port moseby, weather partly cloudy, no bombers don't attack
any one have a reason why not?

[Clipper1968]

Have you check during the resolution turn if air ops over PM has been cancelled due to poor local weather even if at the beginning of the turn weather is supposed to be partly cloudy?could be an explanation.

Has the IJN CV TF been effectively detected by your aircraft in naval search mission? if not your bombers can not attack a target which has not been detected.

The last reason not the least, is that your bomber squadrons failed their moral test, so they did not take off to perform their mission.

The main reason is that in UV, most LBA needs to have quite a bit of escorts, if the target is one that has a lot of CAP, like most CV groups. It seems that otherwise, they don't want to fly into the teeth of the fighters. That is how I understand the situation.
