I'm sailing from Pearl to my patrol station off Honshu, and about halfway between Midway and Japan I'm encountering this aircraft spam. Day AND night. I don't think the Japanese had any night flying capability in Feb 1942!
Realism is one thing but this is seriously affecting my enjoyment of the game. Using FOTRSU 1.46, no other mods.

The Japanese did indeed fly "at night", though not the way they do in v1.46 of the mod. The issue there is the radar is entirely too good, and assigned too early for "real life". The Preview version of the mod does rectify that problem. However, it was not entirely out of the realm of possibility for airplanes to fly in the late evening and early morning hours, or moonlit nights, using ambient lighting to see surface vessels and attack rather accurately. Read on some of the actions around the Solomons in 42 & 43.
