RE: New May 42 Start

Do you have to rename the scenario to get it to work?

RE: F4F-7

<t> I have read in multiple places that the F4F-7 was very underpowered for the weight. It was so bad that the entire deck length had to be clear, the carrier at max speed and still could not get off the deck without an extremely heavy head wind.<br/>
It did, however, fly non stop coast to coast in ...

RE: Replacement for General MacArthur?

I read somewhere that ADM Hart had health problems and that was why he never got another combat command.

RE: Carrier Training

<t> I hear ya but me being a realism guy I had to ask. I have problems believing that it takes 90 days for a Marine squadron to become carrier trained and then no real penalty is accrued for using them before they are ready. I also wanted the realistic attrition to more accurately reflect what was ...

Count me in as one of the probably few players that would like to see this as an option. Could it be released like the Babes aircraft data or other some such method?[&:][&:]

RE: New Scenario

<t> I thought is was actually fairly common in the beginning of the war for commonwealth and US units to be flying multiple versions of the same or similar aircraft just because of limited availability. P-39s/P400s for example and all kinds of P-40 variants. Not to mention wherever the unit was in ...

RE: Parafrag Bombs

<t> When I got out of the Marines in 1991, the snake eye kits were few and far between and are not likely to be used anymore except as a training weapon. As related above, the balute or in some cases parachutes are used in there place because all to frequently one or more of the fins/vanes would ...

<t> Thank you sir. Link still is not working. I knew the Ranger went in the yard sometime in there too. What about all the out the way Caribbean bases? Puerto Rico? I know they mainly had patrol aircraft but I would have thought that a small strike component would have been made available in the ...

RE: DBB-c a/c replacements

<r> I have nothing to base this on but I think a considerable round up should be in order to account for the squadrons on the Ranger and I would assume all the other units in the atlantic as well. Just a thought. <URL url="http://www.history.navy.mil/index.html">http://www.history.navy.mil/index ...

RE: 21 inch MK14 torpedo

<t> Excellent post sir moose. Only thing that I could add was that there was a severe torpedo shortage early in the war because the navy simply could not produce them fast enough. Many of the early year 42 missions had the subs carry mines simply because there were not enough torps to go around.<br ...

CAG's

<t> There I was researching CAG aircraft and noticed that some of the early TBF-1's had been modified almost to -1C standards. ASB radar added, standard recon camera and what looks like a 175 gallon internal Bombay tank. So I says damn, I have to try this out and thought why not try to CAG's as ...

RE: aviation support

<t> I thought is was a more realistic way to represent the capability of the seaplane. It is pretty difficult to ship a small detachment with supplies and land them somewhere and fly aircraft all in one day.<br/>

That being said, I wish they would put some kind of limit on how many sorties ...
