Japanese Aircraft Range

The Museum leaves a lot to be desired that's for sure. Pretty pictures but no data. Such as something as basic as the length of the ships. This in case you want to calculate speed based on ships length. I was just attacked by two Japanese aircraft and I'm 2000 miles from any Japanese held terrtory. Can anyone confirm the range of these aircraft. That's 2000 miles out and 2000 miles back. That's a 4000 mile range. Don't tell me there's a Japanese Aircraft Carrier near by. Historically there should be none. Is this a silly point and shoot toy game or a real simulation. I'm getting attacked by aircraft after dark 1500 miles from land. That ain't real. Japanese ships are firing on one another. They don't collide , they just Kamakazee each other. Looks like all the ships are stock composites with no ship's names on them. Just cut and paste a few here or there. It would have been nice if the maps had some numerical topography on them. I'm sure the boats had maps that gave them depths. Duh. My hat off to any Captain that actually went into Hiroshima Harbor with 13 feet of draft below the keel when submerged and took photographs. I hope he got the biggest medal ever made.
