Now to just add a rocket rack on a Gato for a Lucky Fluckey shore bombardment... - it's going to be expensive to acquire said weapon though, and it will be of minimal impact to the enemy installations, its being rather inaccurate...
Agree, he did cover procedures etc well. lol I look forward to the rocket launcher on a Gato for shore bombardment. Surprised no one has done it yet and of course should not be that accurate. One thing I have been wanting to incorporate into TMO is bombardment missions with deck gun. Since shipping aside from fishing boats sampans, smaller craft becomes rare, want 1945 to have a lot more different missions. The silly agent insertion and tokyo bay photo missions will be deleted, a lot of lifeguard patrols, picket sweeps, bombardments will fill last few month of war. Of course still limited traffic along shore lines in home islands and SOJ of course, Operation Barney will be included.
