Can we have the Medal of Honor US winners that I posted in the previous Patch thread ?

Some you have like Bong and boyington but many others you dont like the ship captains and admirals at pearl.

Dunno what happened to the old thread but can go to the medal of honor site to find the leaders.

An excellent source on the TBD Devastator is the book from Osprey Publishing "TBD Devastator units of WWII".

Thats where I got my info, and they've got great books on all the other major U.S. carrier planes to see service, covering design, development and deployment. Still light though on the IJN, but, they're always adding stuff.

Hope no one minds but.... www.ospreypublishing.co.uk / www.ospreypublishing.com

Great reference sources.

Japanese Para units still can't have their 47mm ATG moved by aircraft. Either change the OOB of Japanese Para units to equipment that can be airlifted or allow 47mm ATG to be airlifted.

To continue in this vein, I suppose we could also have Bush, George H.W., as a Navy pilot. I think Carter, James Earl, was in the Navy, too. Nixon, Richard M., was a simple sailor, so is not relevant here. Reagan, Ronald, fought his naval battles on the sound stage in Hollywood. Did I forget any President with a WWII in the Pacific past?
Edited for spelling (mikemike)

Carter was in the Naval Academy class of 1946... although the class of 46's graduation was hurried to 1945, they didn't quite make it into the war (a good family friend is a member of that class).

I didn´t want to start off a flame war, and this certainly isn´t the right thread for that, but rant? A bit strong, isn´t it?

To answer Bongo, actually no. I´m not talking about CVB-42, that ship was named shortly after Roosevelt´s death by a Democrat administration. I was talking about DDG-80 "Roosevelt", which FDR shares with his wife. CV67 "John F. Kennedy" was also named shortly after his death by a Democrat administration, J. Boomer.
Tankerace, I acknowledge your point concerning the naming of destroyers, I know they are traditionally named after Navy heroes, so why was George Bush sen. fobbed off with a mere carrier?
I just wish the USN wouldn´t name its mightiest ships in the same spirit that gave the Stinkfoot, Tennessee, General Hospital its Homer Q. Moneybags Memorial Ward.

This thread is getting out of hand again.... Please stay to the topic as stated in the Title

Scenario 15

British 7th armour brigade

Still has Grant tanks should have @ 100 stuart tanks only
also change 18 lbers to 25 lbers

cheers

After 3 months of play I still have some difficulties guessing when a TF will arrive at destination.
An ETA info somewhere in the TF window would be great.

That's a wish list, not an OOB issue. This thread is only for OOB corrections.

thats the problem there is no wish list anymore so everyone is putting there wishes in here [;)]

There is a ninth Ootori Class Torpedo boat in Scenarion 15 (there were only 8!). Ship 550, named Kamo. I am unable to find any information for such a vessel.

Pry, is there anyway you can compare the official OOB with that of Lemur's update OOB for 1.21 and make comments or suggestions as how to tweak either to be able to use his Mod with 1.3 and the correct ART. It is becoming very obvious he no longer has an interest in furthering his project and there are many of us that really would like to continue using his mod.

There will be a scenario much like Lemurs! available soon. TankerAce, Don Bowen and I are tinkering with it now. Subchaser is in on it as well I believe if I've read his emails correctly. It has taken on a life of it's own but it will be available as soon as we can finish it and test it.

Pry is doing a PBEM scenario as well I believe.

Ship 3539 Wilkes arrives as a Benson in Jan of 44
Ship 3583 Wilkes arrives as a Bristol in Feb of 44 (Needs to be deleted). Wilkes was a Benson, not a Bristol.

I guess if you wanted could have Lt Lyndon Johsnon as a member of a bomber crew in the South Pacific where he won a Silver star [8|]

pry,

i am trying to work on some of the pilots oob's in my own scenario and have several questions:

i was wondering why a lot of the pilots delay is set to 9999??? what is the reason for this?

when i change a pilots airgroup when he is moved there his experience drops, he is given one mission, and his rank is changed. i am trying to figure out how to do this correctly. what's going on? thanks!

On Dec 7, 1941 there were 2 JP BB's being constructed; Shinano which was converted into a CV and Hull #111, which was laid down on Nov 7, 1940. This BB, Yamato cl was not as heavily armoured as the Yamato. Work was suspended in March, 1942.

CV Kurama, identical to CV Kasagi had material assembled and was to be laid down in the Mitsubishi/Nagaski shipyard when the Kasagi was launched.

Japanese Army aircraft Transports Akitsu Maru 11,800t 20 kts 1/42 Nigitsu Maru3/43 2x 75mmAA 10 75mm[field guns} able to carry 20 planes, which could take off but not land on these transports.

Kumano Maru army aircraft transport to be operated by IJN 10,800t 19kt 3/45 8x75mmAA 6x25mmAA 37 aircraft they could take off but not land on transport.


Merchant aircraft carriers Shimane Maru 14,500t 18.5kt 2/45 Otakisan Maru 1/45 2x120mmHA 52x25mmAA 12 aircraft. Aircraft could land on these sm cv's

Yamashiro Maru 15,900t 15kt 1/45 16x25mmAA 8 a/c 1 asw projecter 120 DC's
Aircraft could land on this sm cv..
All these cv's could only operate sm planes f's and db's

A delay of 9999 generally means that the "item" is not available in that particular scenario.

Some of the later scenarios would have this set if the pilot had been killed off at some earlier time (before the start of the scenario).

If there is some other philisohpical reason, pry would neeed to answer.
