Favorite Battle

[Armistead]

Has to be the battle of Philippine Seas. You just can't beat it. Several large JP TF, hundreds of planes from both sides, stay in the same general area and for 4 days you can battle it out...just never enough torps.

We leave port on a dark night, no fanfare, no goodbyes.

We get contact reports of several large JP TF headed for us, so we head to intercept. The skies are stormy, but the water is still a teal blue as we search.

Weather forecast getting worse,

Radar contact. Weather has worsened. One lone merchant. We man all guns for a surface attack....and send them to Davy Jone's.

The day passes, the weather clears some and we get radar contact. Sonar reports heavy screws.

Night comes and the weather clears. We're on a good inside track. There will be plenty targets to chose from.

We sat up our attack. Our first target is the Yamato. We fire and get many hits, but he moves on. Almost get run over by the Mush as I send a few more at the rear of the Y.

We'll get him later, We'll have to take a CA, 4 torps sends him under.

To finish up...LOL...We get our remaining sterns in the Yamato the next morning. It wen't under..Here's some more pics of the battle. I got it in fairly close order. I went after these two TF's for 3 days.

Have not made it to the Battle of the Philippine Sea yet but it sounds like fun.


Going to have to go with Midway, even though I did not make it out :nope:

[Armistead]

You got sunk at Midway..in all that deep water...shame on you...going for broke again..huh.

To change your playing style, here is what I've done. I've hooked a tazer to my soundcard and have it attached to my nuts. Using sounds, if you get damaged, you just get a lil jolt. If you get sunk, a full blast to the balls.

I live 90% more than I once did. It's in the mail, batteries not included.

If you want total reality, you may be interested in my "under the seat depth charge" A large coffee can full of compacted blasting powder, if you die in game, it blows....connects to a front USB port.

Using one of these, you'll either turn out to be a by the book skipper taking long range shots or you'll realize how mad O'Kane was.
If FBI shows up, as usual, you don't know me.

Right now I'm back to the "shotgun" mod. My sub is parked North of Wewak where we found some native girls...We'll be here to late 45.
You'll have to pay shipping.

:har: Can I get those made by ACME,

[Armistead]

If you find Midway list it..I don't have a SS of that one. I haven't done it in forever since I port down south.

[G2B]

Will do :salute: going to be heading up that way soon, hopefully with a better outcome that is if the Overlords Escorts don't get me first :haha:

[Armistead]

I always take on one of the BB groups in the battle of Leyte, so I thought I would try to find the Ozawa's Northern Carrier Force and see if I could beat Halsey to it, but couldn't find it....will try again....Funny, about 100 planes few over, but US carrier planes, guess they had fun.
