A list of WW2 happenings that also happends in SH4

There are several scripted battles in the game. They are most files in the Campaigns\Campaign folder whose names don't start with a year:

PearlHarborAttack.mis
EastAsiaCampaign.mis
BurmaJawa.mis
CoralSeaBattle.mis
BattleOfMidway.mis
BattleOfPhilippineSea.mis
BattleOfPhilippine.mis
BattleofGuadalcanal.mis
BattleofTruk.mis
SolomonIslands.mis

You can open them in the mission editor to see their contents. Some of the names are a bit odd. The "BattleOfPhilippine.mis" is actually the battle of Leyte Gulf, for example.

So you do actually mean that some of those historical battles are included and scripted in SH4 (in the normal career)?

Yes. They are in the files, and they do happen. Last week I intercepted the Japanese fleet approaching Leyte Gulf in the exact same place as the Darter and Dace did historically.

You can easily add more if you want. Just create the missions in the editor, and add them to the Campaign.cfg file in that folder.

Yeah, there are some TFs there, some even named semi-appropriately. Oddly, even when they have the correct ships to properly build the TFs, they don't use them, and the TFs look like any other TF. If you ran into ships for the Bismark Sea and there were the right number it was likely random or an accident, since none of the other scripted stuff has any of the ships right that I've noticed.

Oh boy...

Am I the only one here getting the ideas of taking all those real WW2 happenings in the Pacific, script them and release to the public? That would be one of the best MODs (at least best mod of the month lol). All I hear on this forum is "realism" and if everything is "historically correct"... That's sort of a must-to-do mod!

If I'm not mistaken the GWX mod for SH3 attempted to simulate particular battles at certain times of the war. Ships were scripted in for each event. Would be nice to have this here as well and I believe can be done.

Sweet... I never tried GWX as I just gamed the default SH3, completed it and that was it... But now I'm back with SH4
