...after sifting through these and others, gave this theme at least a historical startup that could include vessel object named from carriers right down to each beached landing craft, individual aircraft serial no. and who piloted them for a real-time roster, etc., except really need that spanish speech pack from Saw...i'm assuming there must be one???

in short it might only qualify as a single mission campaign during a 6 day shoot out between a maximum of 2-4-6 ac at any one time on either side. Unlike a single mission Midway that had full squadrons engaged, this one would have that reduced into 1-2-3 ac in flight sizes only if chosing to keep it near to real...kind of a limited confrontation, not to mention the Invader-vs-Invader dogfighting as well as lopsided jet-vs-prop combat, could also throw a few what-if ringers into the mix that sat on the fence during the invasion.

...just no time right now to take it past as a notepad idea.

well! getting near close to a year since the last post for a thread that has jumped to the most amount of viewing to date for a setup nobody was working on, except now theres this experimental for the Castro side...

...but more importantly was an exercise to correct the previous 3dz shape of the Hawker Fury series which Gunsts version always looked to me more like a Tempest II.

and heres a beta version for their mustang...
