So night attacks were a common reality?

If thats the case, we can put dedicated night attack paths into the ASW mod

Oh, and there was supposed to be a Radar equipped Night attack Kate Torpedo plane in use after 1944. Thing is, the air launched torpedo's in SH4 have some glaring issues, that one person with external cam will discover. Making it pointless in SH4 as an addition at this point. They are accurate, they fire at the same point every time, just not the right point. They are in the ASW mod, but have a different weapon load. A pity really, because they looked awesome closing at 30 metres from sea level.

No, night attacks were not a common thing. Especially during the early years. But I wish someone would make a flight sim so I can fly a big, juicy Black Widow Night Fighter. Man, I'd tade in any rusty sub for that.

Wow...the calibre of argument on this forum, although rare, is IMPRESSIVE! Are you guys lawyers? Anyway, a Eugene Fluckey pronunciation question. I always thought it was pronounced "Flucky" as in "Lucky"...wasn't that his nickname? Lucky Flucky?
Just curious...

p.s. I've never been in combat
