Pacific War Timeline in help screen

mcaa666 · 08-20-07, 07:21 AM

Since no one likes to be on patrol in SH4 and not finding anything to sink, i thought it may come in handy (especially since i'm not that familiar with all the events in the Pacific War) to list a timeline.
This way you can easily see where the next action is going to be.
I listed all the major events, both land and sea but the emphasis is ofcourse on naval battles.
As for historical accurasy; there could be some dates that are not entirely correct (due to differences of opinion with the authors of the original timeline i have in books) but it should work fine.

Now, if anyone wants this i will make two version; one for stock SH4 and one for Trigger Maru.
If you're interested please let me know.

I get the feeling you will have a number of replies to this thread

I think everyone has been sailing around, recieved PAC news and thought 'If they let me know earlier I could actually get there', on time and with X amount of fuel ^^

Count me in, nice job Mcaa666

You may also want to include some of the alternative names or nicknames for some of the events. For example, the battle of the Philipines Sea is also known as the 'great marianas turkey shoot'.

And out of curiosity but why does the battle for Malaya already start before the bombardment of Pearl Harbor has taken place?

Digital_Trucker · 08-20-07, 11:03 AM

Since the battle started on December 8, I would say that's a typo. In day/month order it should be 08/12.

Actually, Malaya did happen first.

I guess someone better tell Wikipedia, then, because they think it started December 8, 1941. That's what I get for trusting an on-line encyclopedia

Edit: Link to the article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Malaya
