Well, getting shot down by fighters wasn't the main cause of aircraft losses during WW2. Contrary to popular belief the main cause of being shot down was ground and ship based anti-aircraft fire. While the heavy AA-Artillery(usually 88-90 mm and bigger) and light AA guns(20mm and smaller) often caused damage that made them easier to hit or forced to break off their attack, the real killer were the "medium" Anti-Aircraft guns(think Bofors 40mm/L60 or /L70, or 3,7-cm-FlaK 43). Together, all types of Anti-Aircraft fire caused at least 50% of all aircraft losses during WW2. Notice, I said "Aircraft losses", not "Aircrew losses". The crews survived those quite a bit more often, at least compared to an attack by a fighter, firing from really close range(400 meter and often much less)ranging from rifle caliber rounds to explosive potatos laced in white phosphorous. >_> The highest aircraft loses were almost always incurred by those aircraft which were doing the low level ground attack missions. There's a very good reason why fighter pilots hated having to do ground support, even in air forces where the whole doctrine revolved around supporting the army, like the Soviet Air Force. Flying low, under 3000 meters and progressively getting worse the lower you went, and slow(read: under 400 kph/ca. 250 mph) while being near(or heaven-forbid, above!) lots of automatic Anti-Aircraft cannons is not the best idea, especially not for planes that don't have any protection against fire from below. Like the typical fighter, say a Bf 109 or P-51... or an A6M Zero. Incidentally, that 400 kph/ 250 mph figure is also the speed that US pilots were told to not drop below when fighting against most japanese fighters like the Zero or the even more nimble Oscar(Nakajima Ki-43).

Very good. When attacking the convoys, I learnt to prioritise the merchants , as they need to be stopped so they don’t land troops and supplies. Don’t worry about the escorts. The other thing on first battle on a convoy, is damage the lead merchant, but don’t sink it. Then in subsequent battles, that lead merchant is slower due to previous damage, and holds all the other merchants up - while the escorts steam on well ahead. Makes mopping up the merchants easier.

I have seen if you strafe with the Zeros in line ahead approaching from astern and at minimum height slowing down to minimum speed at about 1500 yards and only opening fire at 1000 feet should give very good results - as soon as the attack is over speed up again and circle around.

Seeing the bomb splash patterns, i would suggest that if you are going to bomb a ship side-on you should tell your Vals to form in line abreast, otherwise they will drop on the vic formation and you will have a spash pattern that only makes the lead one or two vals hit Second your Petes are actually very competent biplane fightes, so they can actually shoot kingfisher floatplanes by themselves, (plus you have a ton of recon floatplanes, especially with a Tone-class) so you should use your petes to hunt the american kingsihers and leave the american fleet with no eyes.

You might want to send a float plane -- to arrive at dawn or just before dusk -- over for a quick look at what the Americans are doing at that < Blue Star > base they established on the big island to the NE. However reconnaissance is handled, you need to find out what is happening there. The US has lots of resources, don't forget. Also, if it is only a seaplane tender, then you can sink her. If a land base, then the Kongo can shell it. If they are building an airfield, then you will have lots of 'Wildcat' problems coming your way soon. You've got to lift the fog-of-war from that locale!
