Actually, they did have CVEs, Taiyo is one, at least according to Combined Fleet (Parshall and Tully are pretty autoritative regarding the IJN, IMO).

They didn't use them too often as CVE in the sense that the USN and RN did though. Partially because once the fleet CVs were toast, everything changed.

I made missions but I have a theory my idea won't work. I think that the airgroups are picked at the time the unit is created, or per patrol. So if I have a group change from 3 Zeros and nothign else on Feb 14th, to 18 of everything, the thing stays at 3 Zeros.

If that's true, dropping to a CAP is the best I can do.

A definitive CV change would also involve removing the planes from the CV decks, since the IJN didn't keep planes on deck usually. Bugs me every time I see a CV.
