Battle of Savo...RSRD

Finally saw some great surface action. I picked up a large jap TF in the slot and paced it to Savo. All in all 3 allied TF did battle with it. Pretty amazing to watch 5 Takeo's take on the Kent's and Northhamptom's.
I was able to get right in the fray and help out taking out 2 Takeo's and one Kuma.

Only strange thing was several ships ended up dead in the water on both sides within hundreds of yards of each other...after the battle, in that they stopped firing at each other. Planes from both sides would fly over and attack and then the ships would open up. If I would of had more torps I would have had a time.

Next patrol caught the 10 dd's that bombed Henderson field. Finally hit and sunk one of those fast suckers. US planes came in mass and sank several of them.

Great battles and some of the best SS's I've got. Not to mention ROW Sound mod 9 the battle sound was awesome. Nothing like hearing two fleets open up with everything. Probably the most enjoyable patrol I've had with RSRD. Great Job!
