Is it historically accurate for them to have DCs? If so I'll add them.

Torpedoes is on my list of things to try and make work.

I'm not sure about the British MTBs (which the Elco is definitely not) But US PT boats didn't have them at first. Later in the war they exchanged the four torpedo tubes for two roll-off torpedoes and four depth charges (except for the ones which kept four roll-off torpedoes).

This was mostly done in the Pacific, and the purpose of the depth charges was to discourage Japanese destroyers from chasing them. A shallow depth charge could have much the same effect as a magnetic torpedo, in that it could go off under the keel of the pursuing ship.

I didn't think the PT Boats had DCs. I've been searching the web and have been turning up empty handed. Thanks

Big problem with WaterReflection controller and using .dat files for units:


This means no water reflections when using .dat files either I should've remembered this from my work on the sub flags

Does this mean the japanese enter the war also ?

I use to live a short didtance from Sand Point Naval Base, in Puget Sound, Washington State, USA.
Sand Point Naval Base had several unused WWII PT boats there sitting on block last time I was there 1979.

I know these boats all had DC racks on them because I walked through 2 of them.
