The carrier movie was the "Final Countdown" with Martin Sheen...

Great part where the two zero's are intercepted by the tomcats..hehe

<r>MSG I have no problems here with you, I agree its probably not the right thing to do to gloat over a mans death. <br/>
<br/>
Of course if or when bin laden and his fellow terrorists die, I won't be cryin' a river either <E>:)</E> <br/>
<br/>
Redneck stuff doesn't bother me at all-- in fact here ...

MSG, I am very impressed with your wit and "big" words-- why you're quite the clever cat!

It takes a real man, or shall I say an "MSG" man to accuse someone of being interested in boys, or to deduce that someone is a redneck-yankee!

Thanks for all the help guys! lol... caught cheating-- and I thought I could just roll in and send the bombers out right away...sheesh.

<t>Just starting out here, and seem to be having problems with specifying targets.<br/>
<br/>
For example, I set my 4 B17's on buna and b26's from PM to attack rabaul. I also send up escorts to travel with for as far as they can go...<br/>
<br/>
Problem is my bombers keep going to Lae or gili gili ...

lol... married here, which is why I try to avoid movies like Pearl Harbor.

Unfortunately all I get after movies like that is "why can't you deliver 3 tons of flowers to me like the guy in the movie did"...arghhh

lol.. forgot about Travolta in the red line.. ughh

<t>I know there are many terrible movies from the past, but some recent stinkbombs for me are:<br/>
<br/>
Windtalkers- <br/>
<br/>
John Woo and Christian Slater?... okay Slater wasn't as obnoxious in this one (ala Broken Arrow), but the gunnery sargents accent (Peter Stormare is from sweden) was so ...

Thanks Toro! Your tips have helped-- looks like my tf's were set for retirement.

<r>New to UV, and have a couple questions that I am sure are simple... I haven't had the time to read the manual yet, so my apologies if this is just a case of "RTFM" <E>:)</E><br/>

1. Just messing with the tutorial mission, and get creamed on guadalcanal every time. All the japanese ...

Ahh.. I didn't think about the fog of war option-- and its possible effect...

Thanks everyone for the helpful answers!

For what its worth, I absolutely love this program, learning curve and all!

<t>I just picked up this sim at E.B., and am running 2.11. <br/>
<br/>
My question is what kind of damage is needed to sink a ship? <br/>
<br/>
While I don't have a specific example in mind, generally when I attack a ship I will get one or two below waterline hits mixed in with belt armor hits ...
