P.S. Nope, I doubt it was THE task force that kicked ABDA's butt, it only had one LC and few DD's

There are plenty of battles and tf's in RSRD , in much detail.I just witnessed and participated in the Battle of Savo Island in August 1942, all the right groups were there, even then air attack occured on August 7 42 in response to us landings.I also just sank the Taiho at the battle of the philippine sea.They are in their historically correct places, do some research you should be able to find the major engagements.That does not work, use the mission editor and find what your looking for in the campaign files, then get the coordinates.I do not do this(I did for Savo Island, wanted to see where I could sit to observe and did end up sinking one cruiser with torpedoes to help out) if you still can not find them, PM me with what battle you are looking for, I will give you some map coordinates to be at so you are likely to encounter different IJN forces.

My current career is in October 1942, the Battle of Santa Cruz Islands is in RSRD, US and IJN fleets are recreated pretty accurately there, so going to put myself in the area, hopefully see the US air attacks on the IJN carriers, maybe get a shot at a big ship myself, rescue a few pilots who have to bail or ditch.Should be fun.
