have them as missions. 6 BBs slinging shells at a unseen enemy proabely no worse than missions 10a/10b in terms of lag and such.

after all this is a navel sim I HAVE NO DESIRE TO COMMAND A FLAT DECK >:(

Yeah I can just see you standing on the bridge of your Corvette, spotting 6 BB's on the horizon... oh wait they can shoot over 8KM, you'd be sunk before you even get a chance to engage Image

or youre sneaking up on them submerged in your sub and runs out of air.... :lol:

it would be no differant then if you where commanging a carrier. but i didn't say i would not want to command a BB its just flat decks are boring and sunk too easly you sit at the back and turn head to wind every now and again.

Just asking.

The Battle off Samar was an intresting little engagement that took place as part of the battle of Leyte gulf. A group of six American escort carriers and their screen of destroyers and destroyer escorts came under the guns of the Japanese center force that was made up of 5 battleships 12 light and heavy crusers ad 15 destroyers.

anyway to make al long story short after several hours of hard running under fire the japs pulled off and retreated leaving only 2 destroyers 1 destroyer escort and 1 escort carrier sunk, while the jap side had 3 heavy crusers badly damaged and several more with minor damage.

Well that's a quick overview of the battle off samar
