RFB/RSRDC:
The failure to load message is, I'm sure, completely my fault. I was distracted by a flank attack by my first mate. I must have done something wrong during my save. Anyway, I have a lot of SS to post, just to prove I actually sunk the Y, while on the move, at sea.
This is by no means all of the pics but, a lot more than I usually post. I originally had 27 pictures posted but had to remove a lot of them due to the forum restriction of 20 pics.
My plot and U.S. planes approaching:
A closer view:
Opening their attack:
AA batteries on the Kongo come alive:
Kongo, Torpedo Impact!:
Going down hard:
Ping, ping!:
Yamato caught in the crosshairs:
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom:
A parting shot for good measure:
Yamato dead in the water, ALL ALONE:
Time for the port side:
Last torpedo:
Internal secondaries finally reach the surface:
Yesssss! Lifeboats!
She's going down sir:
Read 'em and weep:
OK boys, let's get them downed fliers:
When I started my attack on the Kongo, I took some very risky shots at over 8,000yds away. However, the U.S. Navy air attack was in full swing and I thought it was "now or never" while the IJN was preoccupied with the dive bombers and torpedo planes. Apparently, it paid off. Really sad about the reload failure but, I had a usuable backup from a couple of days prior to the battle. I'll have to restart from there.
