Wouldn't the added shipping on a pass by of all those land masses give you the time lag bug if you used time compression??

Armistead did you get that ship from the OM Pearl Harbor? I know in OM there are the sunken Battleships on battleship row. They are even there in 1940.

Those wrecked BB's are from the stock game.

Well, that's a bit odd.

Couldn't they have put them in at the correct date?

Ask Lurker why they aren't. He did make OM after all.

If they were created from the stock game then no matter what year you were there you would see them.

I was playing as a U-Boat and in 1940 decided to take a trip to Pearl and see what I could find. That is when I noticed them. I went back on Dec 7th '41 but no battle took place.

Well there wouldn't be any battle, unless someone scripted one.

With ships, when they are put in, you input a start date and an end date. I assumed that wrecks would work the same. Otherwise, everything we see would be permanent and unchanging; not a very good simulation.

Post 14 is correct...stock terrain textures used at Pearl, but, you can place them where you like. A few years ago I added wrecks in certain areas for the heck of it, along with numerous lighthouses on mountains, native girls, etc....I like all the native girls waving bye to me as I leave Pearl..

Nice ideas Armistead, especially the native girl touch....lol. This has been an interesting & informative/useful thread to follow.

Happy Hunting!

If you're trying some kind of "Real Navigation", these could be very important.

That's when I actually decided to put them in. Not sure it was totally historical, tried some of that, but thought they would look better on land and mountains instead of the docks.

Marcus island is just empty also, needs some minor facilities there.Thanks in advance.

Major 'Hammerin' Hank' Talmadge Elrod's Marine Corps wild cat fighter might be a nice touch; The prop hub is at the McMinnville Air Museum in Oregan. He won the Congressional Medal of Honor at Wake Island(posthumously 12/23/41) and, until the midget sub was recently discovered off Pearl Harbor,(sunk by Minnesota reservists on the USS Ward with a 6" cannon), was credited with shooting down two aircraft and sinking the first Japanese warship (Kisaragi) in the Pacific war. He died on the beach, Thompson .45 in hand at the head of his improvised defense force, gamely repelling Imperial Marines landing on Wake. Truly lived up to: 'On the Land, Sea and Air!'

and was overlooked in a us mail memorial stamp release of MOH winners recently?
