This game is a joke

I just bought this game a few days ago. I just lost a game, playing as the allies, even though I had a two to one advantage in carriers, over two to one in battleships/battle cruisers, and all but 5 of the bases on the map. The game ended with a Japanese victory in August 1944 because Japan had managed to survive that long. That's a year before the real war ended and they consider that a Japanese victory? That's just stupid.

Why can't you target your planes at particular ships? The computer player somehow manages to always attack your carriers, while your planes go after the cruisers. Needless to say that gives the computer a heck of an advantage. Anytime I got into a battle with the computers ships, where I had an advantage, they would withdraw without me be able to attack them. If I tried that, my ships still got attacked for one turn by the computers.

I can't believe I paid $40 for this game. I would consider $4 a waste of money.
