You want realism? fly TBMs with Brooke in the Coral Sea scenario. I flew SBDs and it was just like the real thing. Hunting ships for an hour+, attack and try and make it home. It was my first scenario too and got me hooked. Keep 'em coming guys.  :x

Im up for this, I would even be happy to help research and write one. I'd go after my all-time hero, Commander (Cpt) David McCampell, USN. Highest scoring Navy ace, flying F6F's. What about mid-war, maybe Bismarck Sea or up to the Turkey Shoot. Heavy on Hellcats and Corsairs, TBMs for kicks and bait. If we wanted to get really interesting, what about Okinawa (which was done about 6-months ago) but allow for Kamikaze attacks.

We could even do some of the strictly carrier v carrier fights. Ok, now I'm just dreaming.
