Operation Wallaby

[Peugeot205]

General Background:

 

We are in 1985 , China  started from Indonesia and Malaysia an expantion movement in order to attack  and control Australia by  it huge amount of natural resources , however the USS Constellation which was under her west pacific cruise byt that time alongside the Royal Australian Air Force, are ready to avoid any menace in the region.

 

All the USS Constellation air wing is 100% historical , I'd like to know if some of you could give me information about the escort ships the carrier had during its deployement in the west pacific in 1985.

I'm having a big problem.... Stock aircraft in this campaign does not load the decals, however it loads them when I fly a single mission. Any idea?

For sure Centurion!!! especially if your campaign has working strategic nodes.

Could any US naval expert tell me which are (More or less the ships represented in this pic, apart from the Constellation)

Do you agree with me? I need your opinion it is very important for the accuracy of the campaign

 

[Peugeot205]

Oh guys, please,  I need your help !!!

[B52STRATO]

Agree on the Leahy CG (and according to her cruise book cover it could be the Leahy herself ) and Spruance DDs class ships (including

 

USS Elliot (967) http://www.navysite.de/cruisebooks/dd967-85/index.html and Fletcher (992) as seen below )

 

 

 

On the Knox (like 1076) and Perry Frigates pictures talk better

 

 

 

According to http://www.uscarriers.net/cv64deploy.htm Califonia also was here and must be the one hidden (with her rear turret and chopper platform) at the center of the picture, just below the Connie:

 

 

 

 

And about the refueler I think on a Wichita-class AOR

 

Hope it will help

Not at all. I'm using TMF F-14 which is much much much better that TK's Tomcat
