GEE,
that is exactly what my mindset is/was.

Have your career begin in either Pearl or Manilla at Cavite on 8am, on 12/7/41.

In Pearl, just sit and wait for thirty minutes, while some smaller craft scoot around ala GWX and have all those battle wagons sitting there across the harbor from you.

Then the air raid starts, and you can make a break for it, or just sit there with your sub-par ack ack guns and hammer away for a few hours. If the raid could be half modeled like the actual one, it would be better than any documentary. I don't know if this is possible, but have BB-39 go up at the correct time, also the Shaw, how very engrossing that would be. For those with older video cards, just turn down the effects.

Leave port, and have your first patrol coords sent via radio.

I'm sorry, I just think that this would be the coolest.....
