How to beat Japanese navy as USA?

[zig_master]

I also have more ships, more advanced ships, and more heavy cruisers and carriers. Yet it seems my ships seem to just ram themselves into icebergs because I also lose tons of ships and hardly sink theirs. They also seem to never need to repair, whcih is another problem I have; repairing. Them beating me should legit be impossible

Spam out some subs. 1940 with snorkels. 10x10 under one admiral. Saturate the south pacific. Convoy raiding with high engagement. This will destroy their convoys, reduce their oil, and distract their fleets.

From there, you can win with your starting fleets. Remember to have full screens and then some (at least 4:1 screens:caps)
Otherwise torpedos will shred your big, expensive ships.

Use TAC/NAV bombers. Pump some out, cover your fleets. Take out islands to reduce their fleet range and extend yours. Build airfields if you need.

If you have MtG, lay mines. Either cheap destroyers set to never engage or TAC/Strat bombers.

Honestly this strategy works in reverse too playing as Japan against USA
