@FranceNeedsMorePower no, it’s a case by case basis, particularly when aircraft carriers are operating where the planes can or cannot land. Your planes can land therefore carrier hits are not as useful.

@Avner I’ve played several aggressive games with the Italians, and each time everything seems to be going well. Then one bad attack and the Italians are vulnerable.
