Title: Midway
Post by: NormH3 on February 16, 2011, 11:00:16 AM
Perhaps it has already been done, but I was thinking a reenactment of Midway might be fun. Opposing Task forces with multiple carriers and other ships would be pretty awesome.

It is a popular set up and has been done quite frequently.

A lot of the old maps were taken down from the server to be remade/repaired and I believe Midway was one of them.

personally, if we're going to run another pto setup i'd rather see a setup where we could have 38s, 51s, corsairs and b-17s against a6m5, ki-84 and betty's...say mid-late 1943 early 1944

midway1 will be on your server soon, but since I can't say exactly when, it must be in two weeks.

wasn't here an episode on Black Sheep Squadron where Pappy's squad was up against a squad of USAAF P-38's? I think it was loosely based on the Yamamoto kill.

Here's a PTO idea fellas.  Battle over Honsho 1946.  :D

(http://www.digitalaviationart.com/forums/jsp_1350x900_web.jpg)

Pretty cool picture I thought. Even if it never happened.

Artist text:

I've dubbed the image "Slice & Dice". The scene is entirely speculative and shows a what-if "1946" scenario high over Japan. Having slashed their way through the ramjet-equipped P-51D Mustang escorts, a pair of Japanese Manshu Ki-98 fighters is diving on a formation of B-35 flying wing bombers. At the time of Japanese surrender in August 1945, all three aircraft were very much in prototype status and none would ever become operational. The Ki-98 was never finished and, though extensively test-flown, neither the B-35 nor the ramjet-equipped Mustang were found suitable for operational service.
