You have accurately assessed some of Japan’s advantages in PTV over Global: the availability of a safe harbor in sz 6 for construction of new ships, and the splitting of the Caroline seazone making it more difficult to Hold as Allies are two major changes in favor of Japan.
That being said, I don’t think I was clear about the significance of the Korea Seazone: it was redrawn to prevent Japan from contesting Korea from Malaya and elsewhere, in the event of Russian or American capture. Below is an image of the new Seazone configuration in Version 4.0. In the prior Map, Japan did not have to get out of position to deadzone Korea. Now it does.
Also, if I understand your post correctly, you suggest that the US fleet at Hawaii (sz 27) can’t hit the Japanese fleet at Caroline (sz 35), but that Japan can hit Hawaii. This is not the case. Hawaii can only be reached from sz 34, which is in range of any ships in Hawaii (sz 27).
I think the most efficient way to counter Japan is to apply pressure on multiple fronts. The Allies are given the means to do so with a boosted Russian economy, Siberian factory, and buffed China. I think it would be interesting to hear your thoughts after playing version 4.0. If you are down for a game, lemme know!
On our map SZ6 does completely surround Korea. I don’t think it had the US Marine though.
@regularkid Sure the change around SZ 6 helps, and since the development of a “safe harbor” for Japan was intended, I guess I need to try a few more games to see how it plays out.
The point about the Carolines is that Japan can hang out on “their side” and use the Caroline’s mobility buff to dominate the Central Pacific – without being threatened by a US build up in Hawaii. This really hampers US development since they no longer have a clear path from W.Coast to Queensland, the typical build up point to attack the extended Japanese fleet.
Japan can build and control all of the Pacific, while the US is left hanging out in Hawaii because they can’t send forces anywhere without escorts.

Scramble to the invasion. Can put up a lot of air. Won’t win, but could kill many ships.
Denmark: Scramble 3 Italian Fighters from Western Germany and 1 German Fighter from SZ 116.
Norway: Scramble 5 German Fighters from SZ 116.
Nevermind I guess. I just ran the battle and though it asked me to scramble it did not conduct combat. What am I missing? Did I need an infantry in both locations?
Oh dear. I forgot the land scramble rules…I was only thinking of water routes. But it did the same for me. Obviously, I prefer this interpretation of the scramble rule–need land unit to defend, but seems like rules are changing.
