Largest Naval Battle Mission

I find myself playing Battle off Samar over and over because there's a good bit of chaos everywhere. Are there other huge naval battle mission someone can recommend?

What mod(s) are you running?

At the time of the battle of Midway I happened to be there, passing on the way to Japan. Now I knew that the 4 carrier forces was approaching from the NW so went hunting. Only once have I found it and managed to sink all four!!!

Never found them again, they must have known I was coming !!!!!

The thing with all of the "Battle..." missions, is that if you get too close too soon, you might be within the spawn radius of the Random Groups, and they then will not spawn, since you're possibly with in "sight" distance.

no idea prop. As I said found them once. I even tried once to follow jap planes returning nw from midway, no luck.

It depends on the mods, if you use RSRD, since all the battles are scripted, you can find them all, plus all the groups leave ports and return to ports per history....the downside...u can always find them. If you start the war from Manila and ignore anything you run into and head to the Bungo Straits at full speed, you can catch the returning Pearl Harbor TF, just make sure you flank back to Manila right after before you lose the base and can't refuel. Course several other large TF you can find historically.
