Talking large-scale, the pacific war was fought mainly by naval encounters, with aircraft carriers deploying fighter-bombers to sink enemy ships and fighter aircraft to destroy enemy aircraft. Much of the land conflict was done by American infantry, deployed by sea, assaulting entrenched Japanese infantry and artillery positions in order to capture Japanese airfields. Overall, the dominant weapon was the airplane; the war was won, or lost, by who had air superiority, considering it was mostly naval battles or bunker-busting, two situations ideal for fighter-bombers.
