I have finished and tested 4 missions with 13 more to go for the Battle of Santa Cruz portion. The first three are based out of Henderson against the Japanese Ships, withdrawing from the Cape Esperance surface engagement. The fourth is an overnight Catalina recon patrol out of Espiritu Santo, which spots and attacks the Japanese carrier force.
That mission still gives me some questions like: What/who's Catalina to use? I've tried Allen's VN_PBY5A_CAT and the Consolidated Catalina PBY-5 and PBY-5A with less than satisfying results. So I went back to my old choice: PBY_BlackCat from Simviation. I'll try any others you recommend. Another issue is my own ability to fly and make a torpedo run in the dark
...
I definitely need some stick time in this plane.
I have no decent screenshots from these missions. I hope to get some from the next batch. I'm going back aboard a carrier for those...
Cheers:
