So I'm trying a game as GB and built up my navy. I usually don't do naval countries do this was an experiment for me. I quickly took out the Italian navy, secured the med, took out the German navy and command the seas. So I sent over my 3 carrier fleets (2 CVL, 2 LC, 4 DD per fleet) and 2 battleship fleets to Japan. All very modern. I've been sinking dozens of convoys and have sank 3 of their carriers and several heavy ships using my fleets and land based bombers out of Hong Kong. So they attacked one of my carrier fleets with a BB, 2 HC and 2 LC. When I looked all ships targetted one carrier and were 1km from it. They sank it immediately. I had 100% positioning and they had no planes vs my 4 CAGs. I thought fast fleets would stay out of range? Is there some surprised factor or variable that allows them to engage at point blank range? Not sure how to counter this.
