You can sort them by victory points, which I think is the easiest way to see all the big ships togeather.

Isn't that just about close enough that both sides could've started strafing each other with their respective antiair complement?

Remember I'm running as much on luck as anything else, this is. A backyard defense mission to that went well. If he Americans commit a carrier group in an assault on rabaul, this was is over but the dying.

The way the AI puts battle groups together, that could be two CVEs, four hospital ships, their other submarine tender, and three dozen landing craft full of engineers.

   The Allies arrive at Wake, and are met with fire.  Hmm, I should check the commander here.   Some Judy's find a hole in their CAP and exploit it!  Planes from the returning carriers tangle with Lightnings.  The Liberators they can deal with much more easily.  Down you go!  Their bombers get a small strike in as well.   It's a nice change when the enemy lose more planes than I do!

Why is the allies score rising so fast? At least, it seems fast. A couple hundred in a day or two but it doesn't look like they've done much in your reports.

I recall that the value of bases partially depend on a base's infrastructure, so improving a base makes it more valuable.

Grey is just getting into the spirit of things by grossly misreporting whats been going on. Give it another few weeks and we will suddenly start seeing massive air raids on the home islands with no explanation were they are coming from.

  It's a normal day of mass bombing.  We're getting quite good at bringing these things down.  Please hit the tanker.  We get a report that the enemy at Wake is wiped out by attrition. They must have only gotten a few men ashore. I now await the second wave.

I suspect the resounding success of the liberator pilots has resulted in all of them going home? 25 flights, or whatever it was in the Pacific, and its back to sell war bonds or man the school house.

I think it's carrier-based aircraft fighting the liberators, and maybe they have a few good pilots left. The land-based CAP can't cope because they're not as good. Maybe?

Depends on what altitude those bombers are coming in, how much warning the interceptors have, pilot and squadron leader skill, etc etc.

The fact that carrier-based zeros can bring down liberators on a consistent daily basis in 1944 has got to be one of the most War in the Pacific things to have ever come out of this thread.

Possibly aside from them ineffectually bombing the already abandoned and sinking Ryujo (and I'm not sure if they actually hit it), I'm not aware of any instances of B-17s landing even one bomb on any of the carriers. The only other instance seems to be one landing a single bomb for minor damage on Chitose, but that was done when she was still a seaplane tender and had not yet been converted into an aircraft carrier. You might be thinking of this picture...  which was indeed taken by a B-17 (one of 12) that attacked the Japanese carriers during Midway, but none of them actually hit anything.

With all the successes battleships have been having, I wonder if in this timeline the Montana gets to roll out?  Not to nerd out about alternate history, but it is fun to try and armchair admiral what lessons might be learned from this Pacific War where surface combatants had a chance to shine, while carriers (albeit with some successes) are noticeably far less noticeably in shining.
