Regarding contact reports, I think there are simply way way too many of them for just sightings, and not enough detail on stuff that would have been ULTRA.

I was thinking that I would keep my layers with contact reports gutted to single digit %s over longish time periods (increasing % and decreasing interval as the war progresses). I think the next thing I will do, is to increase selected groups' contact report probability if they look to be under cover of allied air.

Then (here is the major change), I would make a set of layers by year:
41_Jap_ULTRA.mis
42a_Jap_ULTRA.mis
and so forth.

These missions would have TFs, convoys, isolated important merchants and troop transports that were picked up by ULTRA. These units will not have contact reports any different % wise, but I would add radio messages marked ULTRA that would give information that was at times VERY specific. Like a date and time they would be in an exact position. Date they were to put in to port, etc. Sometimes ULTRA was wrong, even just because of navigational errors of the target, but that can be fixed with a few radius waypoints that will alter the ETA and position.
