Indeed Pearl Harbour is a hard one to do.
I would use fraction aircraft totals for launching from the Japanese aircraft carrier, I would have the Japanese player launching at dawn, 200km away, good flight time but not too long.
I have calcuated using the japanese carriers in the game using 6 carriers I can get 82 aircraft off in the first wave, and almost the same for the second wave. the trouble would be (pretty little) getting them to form up well, but I have discovered a pretty good method to get the shotai pretty close together, as well as their escorts moving pretty well (I have used this method in a raid of colombo mission I have done (65 japanese aircraft verus 20 british hurricanes) if anyone wants this single player mission just holla and I will zip it up)
I think the real reason people make these missions is for you to be a part of the action, flying over Pearl harbour, engaging targets and the lot, just to really make the person think and maybe feel what it was like to be there, and what those pilots did and went through, as well as maybe what they saw.
Just my 2 cents worth
