Ill bet the take offs and landings where much more difficult than they had to be what with the two masts, and guide lines, not to mention the fence going across the deck. Of course that could also explain the smoke coming off the deck midships. First launch mishap maybe? :devil

Of course. Otherwise, how could we have, like, the real battle against them geezers what are called "the Germans" or whatever, who bombed Hawaii to start WWI?

Hmm flat deck with no planes. Could that be what the pieces are floating in the water?
Hmm not sure if you know those or had to many blows to head bailing out... when they launch carriers they tend not to have planes on the deck.
Even the german navy isn't that silly.

The German aircraft carrier Graf Zeppelin was the lead ship in a class of two carriers of the same name ordered by the Kriegsmarine. She was the only aircraft carrier launched by Germany and represented part of the Kriegsmarine's attempt to create a well-balanced oceangoing fleet, capable of projecting German naval power far beyond the narrow confines of the Baltic and North Seas. The carrier would have had a complement of 42 fighters and dive bombers. Construction on Graf Zeppelin began on 28 December 1936, when her keel was laid down at the Deutsche Werke shipyard in Kiel. Named in honor of Graf (Count) Ferdinand von Zeppelin, the ship was launched on 8 December 1938, and was 85% complete by the outbreak of World War II in September 1939. Graf Zeppelin was not completed and was never operational due to shifting construction priorities necessitated by the war. She remained in the Baltic for the duration of the war; with Germany's defeat imminent, the ship's custodian crew scuttled her just outside Stettin in March 1945. The Soviet Union raised the ship in March 1946, and she was ultimately sunk in weapons tests north of Poland 17 months later. The wreck was discovered by a Polish survey ship in July 2006.
So, the live stream will be the game as seen by Brooke?
Is there a link for the live stream that I can send to a co-worker?
Yep, from my point of view. I will probably mostly be in a B5N, so maybe not the most-exciting perspective (until I get in on those ships for a torpedo run :aok ).
I think folks will be able to access it from here:

If I'm not there for the event I'll try to make it to the stream...if it gets enough viewers some people might want to give it a look.

Unfortunately, the live stream only applies to the 10pm version run by Brooke and I can't promise to do the same for the 3pm version. I do hope, however, that there will be a good turnout for the 3pm version which should still be a lot of fun! Maybe someone participating can live stream the 3pm running? Hope to see lots of you there. :aok

I am only taking up a P-40 if Kate Beckinsale agrees to sit on my lap while I do.

I would like to fly the kate with 3 bombs if that is going to be available. Also is it possible to bring back the white skin with the black nose for it. My opinion is that was the most sexiest looking combo in the game.

If I can make the 10PM Eastern event I will livestream it to youtube.
If that doesn't work....try this link and look for LIVE NOW.
The 20 mm will be available, but not 5", quad 40 mm, or 8" (reason being that, with 5" and quad 40 mm, torpedo bombing has zero chance ever of working).

Game locked up on me first try, but after killing game, then
restarting, worked fine after that.

Joined an hour into the 3pm European set. No game crashes at all.
Disappointed there were no static ships in Pearl to attack. :frown:
Maybe next year?

Was fun, but not any kind of sneak attack, whole US air force awaiting in coming attack on fleet.
Someone might want to re-think the start parameters. I am no expert on the pearl harbor attack, but I do not believe the US had a cap over the ships with equal number of planes, all fighters no less, against mostly bombers!

Thanks to everyone who came to the 3pm running!! It was great to see so many participants and I hope you all enjoyed it. If you did, please spread the word in the MA and come back to next month's event - and of course you can do it all over again in the 10pm running with Brookw! :D
The scores on the doors are:
Allies 19 kills = 19 points
Axis 5 kills = 5 points 24 objects destroyed = 2.4 points Total of 7.4
Although I am unable to confirm it in the logs (possibly an 'unkown object' which was destroyed), I did see a ship sink, so that is a further 15 points to give the IJN a total of 22.4 points!
IJN Victory!
Well done to all. :aok

Probably. The change to AH3 means that all the terrains had to be redone. That's a huge job, so not all terrains are finished. For Pearl, the terrain folks were good enough to get it mostly done but putting in custom objects takes a lot longer, so those aren't in yet.

If we ran a historical recreation, it would of course not be a playable event.
However, one of the things I like to do in this event is show people how much warning the US actually had of the attack: USS Ward engaging and sinking an enemy submarine off the mouth of the harbor at 6:30 am; massive radar contacts spotted by Opana Point radar station at 7 am (while Japanese were over 120 miles from Oahu); those contacts being plotted all the way in and resolved as large numbers of aircraft; radio reports from civilian aircraft reporting being attacked and shot down by Japanese fighters north of Oahu. The first Japanese bombs fell at 7:53 am -- 1.25 hours after first indications of hostilities.
What I thought would be fun (and certainly something like this is needed to make a playable event out of it) is to consider what if the US hadn't disregarded all of those indications but instead was able to scramble some fighters several minutes before the whole Japanese swarm descended on all the bases.
That makes it a fun fight (judging by the past many runnings of this event), and is perhaps the most-plausible way to make it that way.
