Well, lets just say then that some ships could be put at a certain spot on a certain date to closely as possible resemble what occurred. Really not a bad idea if you get the message and can head on over to find something like MaxT. Whether by luck or was actually staged.

For example, I've been at "The Battle of the Bismarck Sea" at 3rd March 1943 at nearly same place as it was in the real life (2nd to 5th March 1943).

Now... What I wanted is if some of you have encourented the same battles which happend both in real life and in SH4, please post:

Name of the battle
Date (yyyy-mm-dd)
Coordinates
Link to some information regarding the battle
Map (this one is sort of important)

Help yourself and other skippers to enjoy as many historical moments in SH4 as possible! :arrgh!:

This is a good fourum topic! Just read about this battle last weekend in the Morrison book on Naval History of World War II.

If the layers were persistant across patrols I'd have every IJN warship roughly where it should be. Since SH has no persistance at all, it's not worth the trouble of transcribing all the TROMs into paths for the ships.

Here's another "happening" which I can't check myself as I'm waaay too far from this point and I can't make it there in time:

The Battle of Kula Gulf @ 6th July 1943!

The real map can be seen at Google Maps.
Here's the location

"New Georgia Islands, Central Solomons - As the fighting for New Georgia Island continued, naval battles and other actions led to losses on both sides: Battle of Kula Gulf - On the night of the 5th/6th, three US cruisers and four destroyers were in a fight with 10 'Tokyo Express' destroyers off the north coast of New Georgia. The Japanese lost two destroyers, but another US cruiser went down to Long Lance torpedoes. Battle of Kolombangara - Four destroyers covered by cruiser "Jintsu" and five more destroyers ran supplies into Kula Gulf on the night of the 12th/13th. Opposing them were two American cruisers and the New Zealand "Leander" (Capt S. W. Roskill) with ten US destroyers. The Japanese cruiser was shelled to pieces, but all three Allied cruisers were disabled by torpedo hits and a destroyer sunk. "Leander" was out of action for 25 months, the last of the two New Zealand cruisers serving with Adm Halsey."

Could be cool if someone could check if something happends there at that date and time! :) :arrgh!:
