The times I dint start my carrier battles in the dark I kept my pure BB oponent at bay despite me being blockaded. Guessing my CV DD combo didnt protected me from being blockaded. Won the war eventually Loosing just one carrier by a sub.

Sounds like you either need to diversify your navy, or learn to roll with it :3
In seriousness tho, that's a godsend to me. With Radar, its not a disadvantage to surface ships, and it keeps the land based aircraft off your back for a while which is rather nice.

Yeah, this isn't a problem. This is how BBs stay viable past 1940, both in game and IRL.

Notice there's a tilt to Earth's axis for the day/night cycle? I think it's seasonal, night time happens much sooner in winter than in summer in Northern Europe. Also, manual specifically states the weather in northern seas will be harsh. But I hear ya, my fleet 1930+ entirely depends on carriers and I pull out like a man without a condom when I spot an enemy fleet near dusk.

All my BBs BCs and CAs was lost during early attempts to scout the enemy. After a while I learned how to accomplage the scouting with my air. Build new capital ships is a lenghty process as you all know. |

Yeah I know about the seasoning and all but so often starting a battle when the light is about to go, is a waste of time when using only Carriers. |

It probably would be tough to be forced to run with an all carrier fleet, since altho they're powerful, they're much more situational than other ship types. |

Won the war eventually Loosing just one carrier by a sub. CVs weren't being counted for blockade weight before the 1.02 patch, that was part of the problem. |

A future trick for stopping blockades, at the start of the game build about 100-200 super cheap TP destroyers(use short range and cramped since you will never move em out of the home area), that way you will have a large amount of superiority in your home area at all times, even when you send you fleet to other sea zones
