Battle of Savo ..Pic Heavy.

Armistead · 04-02-10, 07:28 AM

US invasion of GC and Battle of Savo.

US TF and Invasion force arrive at night. Invasion Force heads west and TF covers around Savo.

Next day they patrol around being attacked my mass planes.

Late that night the JP TF shows west of Savo, bout 6 CA's, Kuma and a few DD's. Heavy fog and storm clouds, can't see anything, set up to shoot by radar using Okane.

Hit a Takeo CA with all four, it later sinks. Chase forever and sink a Kuma.

Weather clears to light fog, The fleets surface battle, many large CA's go at it.

Hours later, almost morn, I set up and sink another Takeo leaving the battle

Ships from both side dead on the water battle it out all next day.

Not bad for a lil Sboat. Put 5 torps in other ships that didn't sink.

I'd be interested in knowing the answer to this to. Is it part of the original game, or is it part of a mod?

I haven't checked the ME, I refuse to peek in there, but got to be Lurker's work with RSRD as it's perfectly scripted to the ships, dates and locations. Even the US picket boats are there. I have no idea if the Solomons is in stock as none of the map labels are. You can watch the battle here historically to prepare as the JP moves exact.

Just beware the planes are murderous in number and I basically stay dived all day. With all the ships and planes, things get real slow.

Here they come right on time. I don't know that I'll do it in a pigboat again, can't keep battery charged for all the planes and you have to be in front.

He did the entire Solomon's Campaign perfectly, from the Shoho invasion..I got it earlier to the big one, battle of Coral Sea...couldn't catch them in my pigboat to the battle of Santa Cruz...headed that way now.
