Back in the 80s, Avalon Hill released an Atari/Commodore version of Midway. It was awesome. But frustrating. I know it was probably accurate, but the hit/miss ratio of the US F4Fs and TBDs was pathetic.

The program was written in BASIC, so I went into the code and did some looking...found the routines that controlled those rates and changed them.

I was then able to sink the Soryu, Akagi, Kaga and Hiryu quickly and steam down to the Southwest and sink the smaller Zuiho...the carrier escorting the troop transports. A total wipeout. Very satisfying.
