Nice one marky .. even against the AI it was a good couple of days.


Really need to try a PBEM though. almost like playing a differant game completely. Watching the combat replays can be as scary as first seeing alien(film) in a dark room with the sound turned up and you cant find the remote :) [:D]

Strange that Yamato is reportedly sunk by a 500lb bomb, despite a torpedo hit. Otherwise it must have been a lucky hit down the funnel...

What's sad is how poorly the Yamato's AA performed and the massed zeros at Port Moresby getting slaughtered for nothing. Do you have it set to easy? The IJN is worth so much more than that!! [:@]
