This will be the debut of USRangers new smoke and Fire effects
In June 1944, American and Japanese carrier fleets steamed toward each other seeking battle. When they met, they embarked upon a naval engagement that escalated into the most spectacular aircraft carrier battle in history.
During two days of brutal combat, the American and Japanese carriers dueled, launching wave after wave of fighters and bombers against each other in an all out fight for supremacy.
In this scenario based on The Battle of the Philippine Sea, the two sides are more evenly matched with an equal number of task groups and 1000 and 2000lb American bombs will be disabled. The two combatants will also have to contend with intermittent harsh weather conditions.
Objective: Find and destroy the enemy carriers. 1000 and 2000lb American bombs will be disabled.
