lol keltos you are friendly killer you shoot down IJN plane lol:har:

lol

look better : avenger airplane, and she dropped bombs on me !

but funny nonetheless

Never saw the TBF/TBM in game before.

It's terrible if it's actually supposed to be a TBF (wings and H stab are wrong, as is fuselage... Oh, the gear are in the wrong place, too ;) )

Looks like the roundels have the Star with a red circle in the middle. That was eliminated before TBFs ever saw combat (for fear of what happened in this thread, misidentification with japanese aircraft :) )

real deal :

TBF-1 Avenger early in 1942. Note the red spot centered in the US national insignia, which was removed just before the Battle of Midway

a zoom on the above picture. it was an ATB torpedo plane. saw it a day out of davao on my return trip, I planned to scout the northern coast of Australia..

I knew it was an enemy cause my crew fired at the plane ! and the plane dropped bombs at us. ;)

Anyone got a better 3d model of an Avenger ? with the rear belly gun ?

we should make a new plane, IJN for instance, and set up a US 3d model to simulate "friendly fire" ?

Is that the SB2C that is in game?

The Avenger (TMF or TBM depending on if Grumman or Eastern (General Motors) built it) in RSRDC is actually an Avenger.

The pic you have is the stock "torpedo bomber" which is in fact an SB2C I think ("Helldiver).

Taken from RIB this mod changes the sinking mechanics of quite a few boats, originally designed by Observer.

slightly more efficient depth charges (slip into library folder of mod) :

first attack

I need British and Dutch DC settings too and Peabody to make those two, maybe some CCCP DCs too since there was that accidental sinking of a russian sub by I-25...

nicely done!
still in holidays so i will try it by September. I just cant wait

For your campaign, are any gamebreaking issues, im just asking beacause if you could release it in some later time like a beta, dunno when, october november are fine. I understand the free time you put in that and i hoped to have at least a minimum knowledge on pc, and modding to help you. Maybe i will be satisfied when i will try your junsen b mod.
Wish all you the best

I am still fixing a few issues with Peabody's help and tweaking the damage model !

not a day without work on the mod !

Edited the DG's position : too close to the tower, now set at 1.4, moved the scopes a bit.

Six bow tubes and two aft, one of my favorites ! :)
