how come you don't use a terrain that actually has pearl harbor on it? Seems to me we have one that includes ships and ground targets. you would think it would be used for such a setup.....
the terrain AVAhawai has pearl harbor on it and ships in the harbor and actually looks like hawaii, instead of fighting a simulated battle that doesn't look like anything. AVAhawai would be perfect for this setup! if you want to see what im talking about, go to custom arena, and load up AVAhawai.
id be inclined to think people would want something that was closer to the real thing. If I'm off base, please let me know.

I'd like to, but the ava Hawaii terrain is not available to me on the Special Events servers. There will eventually be a Hawaii terrain (with battleship row, etc.) available for Special Events servers, and then I'll be able to use it.

Two more days . . .

I'm not sure what happened but 3 sorties, 3 1 ping pilot wounds. I've never known that to happen in an F4F which I fly pretty often. Other than that it was fun for the 45 minutes I was there.
