No chance to get some of those famous torpedo blens to spawn in? In the real Pearl Harbour it was about a third torpedo planes and two thirds dive/level bombers...

I'll happily accept a crew member, the more flak the better.

Noon Central...this one is timed to start at close to the same time as the historical attack (one day removed)

So when the attack started IRL the Americas at church in middle America were shaking their pastor's hands and heading home...in Des Moines, Omaha, Kansas City, etc.

In San Francisco it was mid-morning...

In Washington City it was getting into the afternoon...

In London evening was coming on...another night of the blitz was at hand...

In Berlin, Hitler had promulgated the "Night and Fog" decree...


A half hour into the attack...the Giants and Dodgers begin their game in New York, unknown to them the war had started...the radio broadcast is interrupted during the game and is the first general announcement: Giants v. Dodgers, 12/7/41


3 minutes later, NBC interrupts University of Chicago Roundtable program (subject: Canada - neighbor at war)...NBC Red 2:29EST 12/7/41

NBC Blue interrupts "Great Plays" at the same time- NBC Blue

I'll sign on as crew for Windy if there aren't any battleships left when this post is made. If there's a lack of Captains, I'll take a TT or perhaps FMB if necessary.

Where are you going to go? Besides, with so many ships around, every angle of attack can be covered. On your own, in the narrow passages out of Antwerp, you will be an easier target to a flight of Stukas.

That's not our call.

Last I heard the Blen-T was not available due to some form of problem (IIRC)

Otherwise I'd be all over it.

I second this.... the Blen T's would add an interesting angle of attack for the stationary ships..

If we can get Blen T's I'd sign up to fly one

Hi Kilo,

While the ships are stationary, there is barely any room to get your torp in the water from a T-Blen in this area. It will also spell a death sentence to try it as you would have to get in mighty low and slow for an attempt.

As a DD Captain you are not going to run out of 37mm ammo.

The ship carries 2,000 rounds.

I suggest you practice with that dual 37mm.....it is not the easist gun to master by a long shot.

Main problem being just getting the EA into your sights.

Until we see a Submarine....
