Post by: captain1ma on December 01, 2017, 09:40:11 PM
Join us this week for PEARL HARBOR using the avapearl terrain it even has real Arizona battleships in it and they are bombable!!
Feel free to use this as practice for This Day in World War 2: Pearl Harbor http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,390662.0.html (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,390662.0.html)
The attack on Pearl Harbor was a surprise military strike conducted by the Imperial Japanese Navy against the United States naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, on the morning of December 7, 1941 (December 8 in Japan). The attack was intended as a preventive action in order to keep the U.S. Pacific Fleet from interfering with military actions the Empire of Japan was planning in Southeast Asia against overseas territories of the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and the United States.
The base was attacked by 353 Japanese fighters, bombers and torpedo planes in two waves, launched from six aircraft carriers. All eight U.S. Navy battleships were damaged, with four being sunk. Of these eight damaged, two were raised, and with four repaired, six battleships returned to service later in the war. The Japanese also sank or damaged three cruisers, three destroyers, an anti-aircraft training ship, and one minelayer. 188 U.S. aircraft were destroyed; 2,402 Americans were killed and 1,282 wounded. The power station, shipyard, maintenance, and fuel and torpedo storage facilities, as well as the submarine piers and headquarters building (also home of the intelligence section) were not attacked. Japanese losses were light: 29 aircraft and five midget submarines lost, and 65 servicemen killed or wounded. One Japanese sailor was captured.

Loads of fun!
At first I thought the plane set might be unbalanced as the Zero can turn so well, but later in the evening I switched to the Axis side to even out numbers and got my tail handed to me (usually in flames). So it wasn't the planes, it was me. ;)
