Yes, let’s do that. Unless I’m mistaken it’s 3@3 vs 1@2 + 3@4. I suppose you have a couple of hits with your carriers but that causes the jet fighters to not be able to defend even if attacked until the carrier is repaired. And you can’t get out of the Baltic so you need to repair at Leningrad which you won’t hold.

Still surprised about this attack.
