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.

Knowing history is cheating!

Nice shots!

S boat is a death trap, glad to be in a Salmon now.
