Default Pearl on 9 Dec 1941....

So I'm taking a Gar class boat on a career out of Pearl on 9 Dec 1941...and I'm seeing no after effects of the Attack on 7 Dec...surely they couldn't have put out all the fires and refloated all the ships in 3 days :rotfl:

And I can't seem to find the ARIZONA at all.

That would have been extremely impressive to have Pearl still be a disaster if you start off as soon as you can. Possibly that could be a job for the modding community :hmm:

Every ship can be a minesweeper...once.

Even by 1942, there was quite a lot of salvage operations going on in Pearl. While I understand that the game developers cannot afford to waste a lot of time on "one shot" effects like the salvage of the OKLAHOMA via cranes:



It would have been rather simple to take one of the early US Battleship models they made for the game; delete all the superstructure, flip it upside down, and then use it as a static 3d model which appears in pearl from 09 DEC 41 to MAY 1943; at which time it's replaced by another static 3d model of a battleship with it's superstructure removed like so:



which lasts from MAY 1943 to NOVEMBER 1943; upon which the model moves to one of pearl's dry docks...

In my first mission out of Pearl Harbour I did a pretty good job recreating 7 Dec.

Smoke looks sooo god in the game
