What a timing, what a waste of torpedoes.

War in Spain 1936-39 is the first in a new wargame series, using a new Land-Sea-Air engine inspired by War in the Pacific - Admiral’s Edition. Gameplay and realism are improved by TRUE AI and a detailed Logistics systems. A hyper detailed OOB reaches down to battalion and company level. A beautiful, hand drawn, 5 nautical mile per hex map massively increases player immersion.

And it is not like they lacked targets to pick up….. there were like 30 cargo ships in the area… I know many will be small tonnage ships, but comeeeeeeee onnnnnnn!. Didn’t see the pilots of the second squadron their target was already sinking? Or were the 2 squadrons racing to sink it???. Or attacking from opposite sides of the ship and blind to see their fellows on the other side??. meh!

PD: On a side note it looks like I finally got my torps to hit “something”. I still think there are some issues with “naval search” mission while loaded with torps, it has no sense the huge explosions animations and “engine room direct hit” messages paired with 7.7mm hits messages . Naval attack mission loaded with torps seems fine. Btw my pilots were getting lots of “navB” skill ups while flying “naval search” loaded with torpedoes, now they are getting “navT” skills ups while flying “naval attack” loaded with torpedoes.

One of my pilots sank a tanker with the machine guns, one hit and it blew up. :twisted:
