Wow, they're great shots Armistead.

Is that something you set up in the editor or were you using a mod?

Actually a mod, combo of others work and myself.

I don't use the mission editor for RSRD, doesn't work right. If you want to add ships and traffic you need to use the same program lurker used SH4batch and edit with notepad. I do have mine in a mod format and asked lurker if it would be OK to release it for RSRD long ago, but he ain't around, so haven't done so. Others complained saying since I changed RSRD itself, not to publish it, but I'm about done making a seperate mod over RSRD.


I added many extra ships and other historical traffic, some japanese, a lot allied. Most ships I added were by Madmax. I did add his large DD pack that reworks most DD's jp and US, but still playing with his radar and sensor set up on them.

The plane picture wasn't Pearl, I think I took that one at Guam or Manus, where the Old BB's dock before heading to Leyte., but who would know the difference.

I do need to cut back on allied traffic, I added too much. I find I want to just get back to base not keep running into convoys that stops my TC.

I do have all my DD's and Escorts set to vet and elite and much harder settings, many sub killer groups, very hard to play, but if interested I may release it and if someone complains I could pull it, I don't think lurker cares anyway. I'm almost done, just got to set renown for some added ships.

It was a early sunny morning, me and my battleship Iowa was heading towards a patrol area about 50km from Honshu island when i intercepted a backup call from Midway, our current position was 10km outside midway, as i put my engines on flank speed towards the possible area of attack, i encounter lots and lots of enemy airplanes, with my cunningness i manage to calculate where they were coming from, and headed for intercept course to the enemy carriers
after about 10 hours of searching i sighted an enemy task force, as i quickly approach them and radiod in to Midway. 4 enemy Destroyers put and intercept course on me and in a matter of minutes they were all on the bottom of the sea
during this time i recived a message from HQ to RTB, sended a message back saying impossible already commenced Naval Bombarment on the Battleship Kongo, using superior range the kongo was down before he could even open fire, all remaining was 2 Destroyers, 4 Heavy Cruisers, 4 Light Cruisers and 3 Shokaku carriers, the Carriers launched bombers and fighters, while the rest of theyr fleet was moving towards me, i quickly began to sink theyr Heavy cruisers, and moved for theyr Light Cruisers, and then i sighted something in the horizon, i was thinking it was more jap bombers, but when they came closer i saw the markings of the United States Air Force, seeing how the airforce wants the glory of sinking the enemy carriers, i quickly changed target from Destroyers to the Carriers sinking all 3 of them in 10minutes
all remaining was the 2 destroyers that was fleeing the battlefield, but it was all invain, they joined theyr friends in the bottom of the sea. THE END'


and this is the story of how a single Iowa Class Battleship defended midway from certain doom, some of you might be thinking "using the iowa is nothing with that bs armor the creators put on it" well, i lowered that bs armor points to 56(not the realistic armor point but i didnt wanna take a chance getting sunk with all thoose Heavy cruisers and bombers coming towards me), during the battle i took a hull breach, my hull damage was at 46% when the battle was over
and if a G4M Betty would have done a succesfull run on me i would sink faster then a 50ton rock but my AA guns were good enough to take them down before they could hit me, and thoose bombs that they did drop were about 100 meters away from me, they japs cant even hit the side of a barnyard the way theyr flying, all this was done in 30 IG minutes

and about 10 IG minutes later one shi*t load of american planes comes rolling in, but to theyr suprise they only see a single Iowa Battleship with smoke and rubble all around it, heading towards Aleutian island too deny the japs a victory there as well
