Okinawa (Naha) and Guam (Apra) had two airfields each which seem to be operational until the 1 may 1945 for Okinawa airfields and until 1 august 44 for Guam but i didn't put them as i don't know if you have airfields for that country installed

Thank you...
 

Thank you jpm1 for your post on this subject. :up: :up:

I have been looking to add more harbour area to Kiel for a while now and this post has really helped me to understand how to go about doing it.

Thanks a million :up:

:sunny:

I've been thinking the same thing, only not so much adding as fixing. Pretty much everything in Kiel is in the wrong place. Same with Wilhelmshaven. In SH4 Midway is just the opposite: it needs almost everything removed.

Go for it

Kiel 44

Awesome! I sent a PM to Kpt Lehman yesterday along the same lines, thinking to learn and get involved when you guys started on SH4, but all my comparisons are with a Google Earth shot of the area today. I see from the map that some of it has changed, but not much.

I've grabbed the map, and now must get back to work on Ship Names. One thing at a time...at least for my non-multitasking brain.

I spent absolutely months looking for a shot of Kiel from above in wartime
No go

Until I found - or rather Alex did

Fortress Europe - Hitler's U-Boat Bases

Cool. Does it have Wilhelmshaven? I'm hoping it looked more like the SH3 version than the harbor does today, or else the game's is totally wrong.

As I said, I haven't even played SH4, but comparing the screenshots of Midway with what I remember and with the mid-war aerial photograph I have, It needs a major overhaul; as in throwing out the whole thing and starting ov...no, wait, there is no starting over - there's nothing there but two small docks and an airfield.:rotfl:

No pic of Wilhelmshaven but all the other Atlantic ports are wrong so expect that one to be

Both pics differ slightly in bunker placement a little though but you get the general layout
Zip like the ingame one

I notice...
 

I notice how most of the docks in the pictures are cut into the land mass rather than jut out from it.

St Nazaire... thats the docks we Brits slammed a destroyer into and put out of action!! Nutters we are! :lol: :smug:

Aye
Tis the first St Naz pic I posted
Operation Chariot

i added Mergui and Port blair they are in the link at the end of the first post the post becomes too long
