Shame we can't take out land base targets, would be fun. Certainly planes will attack shore guns, but can do no damage.

Yea it would be cool to be assigned to shell certain targets and be able to order your deck gun crew to attack land targets.Do you know if the airbases are rendered in the game?

Not sure what you mean by airbases rendered. The nav mod that shows the airbases as flags and updates them don't show. As for bases with strips like at Midway, I think they showed with TMO, but with RSRD they don't, but not sure if they're functional as they don't match what the nav mod shows.

I've never seen planes on any of the airstrips, just floatplanes in the water. Guess if you could get some planes to show on the strip you could destroy those.

I mean does the control tower, runway, facilities show up st the enemy airbase , as in can you see them when in range? floatplane bases, there are floatplanes in the water I assume?

Not with RSRD. Seems the airstrips were there in TMO alone, but not sure about towers, ect.. Fairly sure they're there for US, not sure for JP's. Can't recall ever seeing one, cept some float planes at port in the water.

On more than one occasion, I approached islands marked as a JAB (at night, of course) but never found anything remotely associated with an airbase. Not even a float plane or a patrol boat. However, I'm running RFB/RSRDC.
