Just wondering, my first time crossing the pacific for war, and I've noticed my troops consistently are faster sailing rather than flying. (I'm Peru attacking China). I built an airbase and pontoon on Guam to "speed up" invasion, but then the eta was faster sailing. Currently I have airbases in Hawaii and Beijing, but it's still faster for me to sail to Korea from Hawaii than fly to Beijing and drive. Just wondering why, as this seems very unrealistic. IRL you can fly direct from Honolulu to Beijing in about 10hrs. Fastest commercial flight time from Lima is about 25hrs and that includes flying to Montreal! so why would it take 2 days to fly from Cusco to Beijing via Hawaii in the game? Especially when sailing times are faster in the game than IRL. The fastest IRL crossing of the Atlantic is over 3 days and the Pacific is much bigger, but you can sail it in a bit over 2 days in the game.
This seems particularly true over the Pacific as it's a much more reasonable 18hrs to fly to Lima to Amsterdam, which is a 12.5hr commercial flight IRL
