Default TMO evil airplanes are great!

Ducimus, more support for your version of reality from the fifth war patrol of Tang (O'Kane):
Quote:
18 - 19 October 1944:

Patrolled in Formosa Strait, encountering nothing but
patrol craft. We were greeted on surfacing by radar-
equipped planes who seemed to be assisted in their
search by the patrol which also possessed radar. As it
appeared to be more of a case of being hunted than
hunting, we moved northeast to our original lucky spot
off Pakusa Point, then on around the northern tip of
the island to patrol off the port of Kirun.
O'Kane, so dogged by evil aircraft that he had to leave the area! Evil aircraft with radar. Assisted by escorts with radar. In 1944. TMO proved right again!!!

And people around here complain about "too many aircraft." I don't think we have it half hard enough.

If it makes you feel any better, im changing their bomb loadouts.

They currently carry two types of ordinance. A bomb that detonates on contact, or at around 60 feet or so, and a air drop depth charge that detonates around 145 feet or so. They currently come with one, or the other.

Im changing it so they always have both (historically correct according to Tater). I meant to do this earlier, but decided to focus on other things instead.

I'll take some screenshots later when i have time. Heck, i even changed the airdrop depth charge model from looking like a bomb, to acutally looking like a depth charge.

Look forward (maybe thats the wrong way to put that) to the modified "evil" planes.

This was my "Wild Night in Bangkok" post, that makup is really gaudy. Who wears green eyeshadow anyway.

I wish I had that quote back when some folks were arguing that American fleet boats had it easy. "As the war went on it got easier for them. That's boring!":rotfl:
