Description: Action Off Bougainville
February 20, 1942

After a disastrous couple months of war, the United States and Allies were in a dark spot in the Pacific, as the Japanese continued their expansion.Rabaul, New Britain had fallen to the Japanese in early February 1942 and the Japanese were quickly establishing a major naval and air base there, which was seen as a threat to the San Francisco-Australia sealane. Task Force 11 (Planned to be joined by the ANZAC Squadron, but was unable due to fuel oil shortage ) under Admiral WIlson Brown and centered around the carrier USS Lexington(CV-2) was assigned to strike Rabaul to safeguard the sea lanes on February 21.

Task Force 11 detected unknown aircraft on radar at 1015 on February 20, 1942 and launched a six plane Combat Air Patrol(CAP) to protect the TF. Two planes were vectored to investigate the contact.Fighting Squadron 3(VF-3) "Felix The Cat" under Lieutenant Commander John S. "Jimmy" Thach intercepted and shot down a H6K "Mavis" flying boat at 11:12, obviously flying a recon mission from Rabaul.Two other planes from the CAP downed another "Mavis" as well.A third contact was detected 80 NM out, but disappeared.

The "Mavis" had done their job though, reporting the carriers location and Japanese Admiral Shigeyoshi Inoue, head of the Fourth Fleet based at Rabaul ordered an attack.A force of heavy cruisers put to sea and 17 G4M1 "Betty" bombers departed Rabaul to locate and destroy the Lexington.

Around 1542 hours, TF 11 detected unknown planes but lost contact.Contact was regained at 16:25 and multiple F4F3 Wildcat fighters under LCDR Thach were sent to intercept, downing multiple bombers.At 1649, radar detected bogies on the disengaged side of the TF, only 12 miles away and closing fast.Only two F4F's were available to protect the Lexington.Lieutenants (JG) Edward "Butch" O' Hare and Marion Dufilho flew east to intercept.

Just as prepared to attack the enemy bombers(G4M1 Bettys), "Duff" Dufilho's guns jammed, leaving O'Hare sole defender of the fleet.O 'Hare attacked, making multiple passes on the formation, downing five to become US Naval Aviation's First "Ace".O'Hare also damaged a sixth.O'Hare would be awarded the Medal of Honor for this action.

These missions recreate this historical action.

Dasuto247,

Jeez...more than twenty-four hours and you can still hear crickets, especially considering these are for the Pacific? My apologies. Let me get the ball rolling then...

Thank you for your hard work on these mission packs, I'm sure the downloaders are happy with your work, and here's hoping you hear from them! :very_drunk:

Action off Bougainville-1942.zip


I appreciate all the efforts that many still support this sim. I ran it after, I thought I had made the mods required, seemed to run ok, except I warped once, and found out I am suddenly out of gas. End of run! What am I not doing, I copied the DP's?

Hello,

I apologize, appears that I forgot to include in the README that warp is NOT enabled in any of these missions.This was a design decision made for two reasons.One is the warp bug that burns absurd amount of fuel.Two is easy to miss important things when warping. I designed missions to be flown in real time or accelerated time(as I do).So when you hit the ex, it likely took you to your last waypoint and burned a ridiculous amount of fuel, thus the warp fuel bug.

I would suggest taking off, climb and head on heading ordered by FDO and once establish desired climb rate etc, speed up to 4x, Once at desired cruising altitude, level off..Once get near WP slow down some as events are triggered by reaching certain WP. Watch the screen and listen for info from the "FDO". I assume you are talking about Mission1 "Snoopers" ?

For mission two, takeoff, climb while flying a circular pattern over the carrier.Once at altitude, level off.Set ailerons trimmed to port of starboard so will bank and make an easy circle.Before long FDO will report bandits.

Hope this helps, enjoy and let me know how it goes for you.
 
Thank you for your quick answer

I will give it a shot. This is my favorite scenario. You've made it more realistic, with your explanation, especially the loitering in the second scenario.

Thanks again for your work!
 
Thank you very much Dasuto247. I enjoy Pacific missions immensely and this is an excellent representation in the PTO.

WHAT IS> ijn_sc13_1941_lod?

It's okay but notice I did say in the README I was not sure about everything needed as it had been quite a while since created the Enterprise Missions and not sure where my "build list" for those missions went.

Go to the address provided, scroll down and will see the SC13 subchasers.Install. http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/local_links.php?catid=42&sort=d&page=2&pp=20


Old euro building? not sure what you are talking about.
 
Thanks

Hi Dasuto
Thank you for your efforts on this project.:applause::applause::applause:
