Force Z...RSRD

Bubblehead1980 · 07-14-11, 07:04 PM

Snooping around in the RSRD layers....noticed in 1941 the British Force Z sails from Singapore and its set to be attacked on 10 December by IJN bombers from Indochina.Being based all way to Manila, think it would be impossible to reach the scene on time but would love to see the attack, perhaps add some AA fire if possible.

Anyone know how to make it where can start closer to the scene? say make Singapore a start option for US subs since it was in Allied hands at time.Thanks in advance

Wow!

Since you're there, check out if the sinking of the prince of wales and the repulse is also scripted.

it is, Prince of Wales and Repluse were "Force Z" along with four destroyers.In the files can see where a large wave of G4M bombers(G3M is not in game) armed with bombs and torpedos fly from Indochina to attack the Prince of Wales and Repluse.

Can't reach the scene in time even at 20 knots.Need to find out how to start closer to scene so can make it.

You probably could adjust the files to change Surabaya to your docking base, OTT, don't see how you could reach it in time, I've tried. You can attack the returning JP TF coming back from Pearl Harbor, that's fun, just start out of Manila and haul flank to the Bungo and wait. Fuel isn't a problem with TMO if you go 10kts you can now go around the world several times, but even before you just needed to haul flank back to Manila and refit before you lost the base.

Use the Pre-Pearl Harbor mod, so you can start before Dec. 7.

You probably could use the pearl mod, haven't tried it with the latest version of TMO/RSRD but should work OK...I think.
