Usn'42

[Hiede]

This campaign my son is working on is 70 missions as of now with a few more to go.It starts with the early raids by USS Enterprise and USS Yorktown in Febuary 1942.It covers the operations of the US Carriers until
January 1943.During the campaign you will flying from 6 different US Carriers.3 sets of scenery will be by UT and 1 set by MR.

Everything should be finished in about 2 weeks or so.

That's quite an effort. Kudos to him. I look forward to seeing, and flying it.

Could use a new USS Pensacola,the VN one is getting old and a little outdated.I think it's about 20 years old.Yes I was an SOH member all those years ago.

It looks like there will be about 75 missions for this campaign and it will be a dynamic campaign.Seems the first mission we be Marine Wildcats taking off from Enterprise to Wake Island.

Sounds good... Thanks in advance for this. It should prove interesting comparing our different approaches to the same missions: ie; Gudalcanal, E. Solomons and Santa Cruz.

The missions will not be as detailed as the ones you did in the area.Remember they will be covering a wide range of the US Carriers in 1942,if every little detail was covered it would probably be way over 100 missions.

I was told the Big E part 2 will be much more detailed and cover some things not covered before.It will cover from attacks ob Tarawa to the Phillipines.

Part 2 sounds interesting. It's great to have some new areas/timescales explored after all these years...

UT

It seems most carrier missions are in early part of the war.I know Shadow Wolf went further into the war with his Saratoga campaign and another one but don't remember the name.CK also did the Hellcat one which I think he might redo with his newer Hellcats.Talon also did a couple of carrier campaigns in 1944.

The Big E was supposed to be done by Pen32Win and Talon,Talon did do a few missions from Enterprise at Truk before he passed.

Part 2 will start with the invasion of Tarawa and some other places not covered before.I think it will end at Leyte.

Hello Hiede
I have started on the Pensacola (and Salt Lake City).
Give me a couple of weeks as I have a few other things on my plate at the moment.

Thanks Stuart.

Take your time,no rush.Some missions might need to be tweeted a bit anyway and a Campaign file needs to be done.

It was USS Essex CV-9 campaign that covered much of the Philippines too (and Formosa). I might re-do it next or go back to the MED.

One more missions to do,my son is going to give you a choice of either using a SBD Dauntless or the Devastator by Captain Kurt for it,it will using bombs.Both are used during the Campaign.This missions is the attack on Wake Island on Febuary 24,1942.The Wildcat part has already been done.The scenery is by UT.So speak up and let him know what you prefer.

The first mission as VMF-211 flying from Enterprise on December 4,1942.This will have the shore batteries of 3 inch and 5 inch guns done from actual maps during this time.
