Air search ensign: "We're looking for the Zuikaku, right?"
Admiral: "Affirmative."
Air search ensign: (Points out bulkhead window) "Isn't that it?"
Admiral: (looks out window. Spit take with morning coffee)

Status: offline 		This is one thing that I honestly think should be changed in the game. Lets say, just for the heck of it, that the two task forces do manage to make contact like this.

Do you think that the commanders wouldn't dispatch their cruisers and maybe destroyers to make a surface attack on the enemy ships. Some Long Lance torpedoes could do some damage to those American carriers. I know the US carriers would run at high speed to escape but I would also be willing to bet that the US cruisers would press their attack as well to hopefully disrupt air operations on the IJN carriers.
