The weird part was that I started encountering them just outside of Midway - significantly after the Battle of Midway. Then on a line between Midway Island and Hokkaido Japan it looked like frogger (2 planes flying one way and often encountering more flying the opposite direction). BTW the range of the Val was around 915 and the Zero was around a 1000 if the pilot new how to lean the engine appropriatly - something I would not ever expect in an AI as it would be a waste of time here. A Carrier Battle Group???/ Unlikely - never had any contact and the nearest IJN Assets were thousands of miles away. Anyway - based on what I saw and behaviour of the A/C I am wondering if it was a bug.
