It's been a long time, but as best I recall I did it with clocklike regularity when I first got the game. Attacked by Japanese planes every hour from 10 miles west of Midway to the Japanese coast, somehow they had more airplanes in the stock game than existed in the entire world. Then there were fuel leaks (? I think some damage caused fuel loss although no actual evidence of a leak) and failure to understand the correct speed for max range, combined with impatience to get it over with instead of spending 3 or 4 hours per night for a week in real time crossing the ocean while diving for constant air attacks. A lot of guys I knew back then gave up on the game when it was new because it seemed more of a slow cruise ocean crossing simulator than anything that would actually be fun.
