Yep and Midway is just the tip of the iceberg, Guadalcanal in 42, the engagements are scripted rather accurately.Savo Island, Santa Cruz, Eastern Solomons, Cape Esperance, Guadalcanal Naval I and II. Minor engagements are scripted as well. The Solomons campaign through 43 is scripted also, Battle of Empress Augusta Bay was one I recently saw for first time, was pretty intense.Philippine Sea and Leyte Gulf as scripted nicely as well.Although I need to make some adjustments to the Samar Battle on morning on 25 October, the IJN does not engage the small carrier force way it should due to distance.
Yes, a lot of convoys in 43, stick with it. Palau-Wewak(New Guinea) and Truk-Rabaul lanes are quite busy in 43, really picks up around April and May.A lot of Ultra come in directing you to convoys in that area. The home islands to Truk via Volcano Islands/Mariannas is quite busy as well.Of course East China Sea has some traffic also.
Study the map but best idea is to open up the layers and see the lanes, will give you an idea .
