you might want to check your mission, the dev's updated the game a few times, now occasionally your american fleet is under water and the russian 2 krivak 2 detonate for no reason, i'm checking things on my end but i'd figured i'd let you know you may want to look at it as well.

@docmitch50 yeah unfortunately it's a game issue right now. All enemy carriers do at this time is, if anything, launch their AWACS and that's kind of it. Really hoping they get it fixed and all sometime in the next update

played through it and the enemy carrier never launched a single aircraft except for the ocasional hawkeye. i dont know if this is on your end or not but made it trivial to win.
