I can't find any Carriers

I've raided most major Japanese ports, patroled everywhere, but I just can't seem to find one. I almost did the other day, but I got unlucky and just missed her. I was attacked by her aircraft and my TC was choppy. Where can I find them?

Yes, but where are the task forces with carriers in them?

I don't know if there's a definate answer to this....I've been waiting for the 1.3 patch to pick up the game again, but from what I remember, task forces that I've run into usually have at least a cruiser in them. I'm not sure where a guaranteed aircraft carrier contact would be found, but I can tell you for sure that they'll be travelling in a task force. Prosecute every feasible task force contact you get, and you'll come upon one.

I think it's just luck of the draw. I would think if you found them all the time then the joy of sinking one wouldn't be as great.

I think it's Kobe harbour I've been into about 5 times, but there's always been at least one, even in mid 1942. I'll take a look at the in-game map and figure out exactly which harbour hits the jackpot.
