Cavite is on the long list of "inaccurate" locations. The surprise of it all, is that Pearl Harbor is not done correctly, and as some have mentioned, Mare Island is actually Treasure Island. Mare was North of, and further into the bay, and the Pearl submarine base was on the other side of the Navy yard, in the southeast corner of the East Loch. No submarines start at Cavite currently in FotRSU, so the docks haven't been moved. There was a dock on that side of the peninsula, though it was a straight dock that ran parallel to shore. It was used for the airfield that isn't there in the game. If we ever add-in a Cavite start, I'll move the docks over, and put a C3 Sub Tender out in the bay and name it Otus, with a fake Holland up near the Manila docks, "inside the breakwater", and the Canopus at out Mariveles. Some of that is already in-place. The Hurricaines will disappear, to be replaced by some Brewster Buffaloes (USFighter), the pride of the USAAC in the Manila area (why would ~anyone~ have purchased those beasts???). Maybe a couple P-40s blasting everyone's ear drums out...

Now, has anyone besides cdrsubron7 noticed that Mios Woendi has been moved several hundred miles east? Milne Bay is redone? Manus Island redone?... Tulagi?? Majuro??... All of these are more accurate now, but we're still throwing darts at the wall while blindfolded... - there just isn't that much info to be found on most installations during WWII. We also want to add-in some more PT boat "facilities", since those were usually nearby, such as Base 21 at Mios Woendi...
