I just returned to Midway for refit on a Honshu patrol and noticed the date was May 9, 1942.... With the Battle of Midway just around the corner, I thought I'd save it and transit to finish the Honshu mission and either return to Midway or reload the saved mission and make my fourth attempt to locate and engage either the CV attack fleet or the invasion fleet. Previous attempts have met mostly with failure to encounter the IJN fleets.
Does the game bring the IJN in on course and on time? Based on my attempts to date it has been more of a crap shoot...
TIA
