This is meant to be an historical campaign, based on the carrier battles of the Battle of the Eastern Solomons (22-25 August 1942) and the Battle of Santa Cruz (25-27 October 1942. I named the campaign “Desperate Battles” because at this stage of the war the US Navy was fighting uphill. That is, they had fewer resources than the Japanese, in many ways inferior aircraft and less experienced pilots. In both battles, the Japanese are the attackers and the USN has to fight a defensive struggle. The dates, times and locations of each engagement (mission) are as close as possible to the actual ones. Ship names, locations and courses as well as aircraft numbers and types are as accurate as possible. Attack angles and targets are set up to give historical results, but you, the player can change history (slightly). The campaign consists of various missions; recon, strike, defensive and land based as well as carrier based. Random chance plays a big role in the numbers of defensive aircraft and in some cases, whether or not a target will be there at all. Call signs 2 and aircraft skins however are not historical. Carrier task forces are set up to sail into a 15 knot wind on takeoff and landing. Using the alternate dps provided for the Usio ships and the FDG alternate files for US aircraft should make this campaign even more realistic and challenging.

CFS2 F4u-4 US Marines Textures only V2: this is a fictional repaint of the F4u-4 and 4B (1% aircraft originally modelled by gramps (Corsair available here) I have not remodelled the aircraft nor do I take any credit for it’s creation… I do however give great respect and my thanx to gramps and his developers (if any) for their excellent work. I based this set of repaints on several different aircraft from the period of 1945 to 1954 and added my own flair to the details. 6.4MB

M4A3 Sherman Tank NOTES FROM _Q__ the author of this pack! Here is a sample of one of the many CFS vehicles I'm working on. I will be including them all in 3 separate packs with sounds, maybe even panels. This tank is fully drivable, use F11 to steer left and F12 to steer right. Its not very good for anti air attacks but works great on the ground. this tank can drive on almost all terrain but a small program called setclass is needed for it to work properly. Make sure you change every surface in cfs to concrete. This will show up in the CFS aircraft selection screen under the designation Tank: M4A3 Sherman. M4A3. 25K
