There are actually several medium battles yet to come. I'll try to remember them.
No doubt the Solomons campaign in RSRD is awesome. You can stay in heavy action for about 2 years with a little planning. You really don't have to cheat history because the game gives you the same basic info of whats coming, but it's good to know.
Sometimes just not enough torps. Take the Battle of Coral Sea. I will attack the Shoho invasion group first, but just get the carrier, then hurry to the battle of Coral Sea to take out the two carriers. Then rush to cut off the large Port Moresby invasion group returning to Rabaul. You have no time to reload, but can attack all three groups if you just go for the big ships.
Then the big battles
Battle of GC
Battle of Savo...one of the best surface battles
Battle of Eastern Solomons.
Battle of Santa Cruz....real biggy.
Then all the slot runs, mostly DD's, but several groups have CA's.
Then numerous medium battles....
Lurker really put in the work here.
