Peugeot205 2,745 Posted June 4, 2014 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 could give you the campaign file if you want to give it a looksie? 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) EDIT: B52STRATO (I don't know the reason but when you uplodaded the pic for the first time I could not view it, so that's why I've duplicate it) Edited June 4, 2014 by FRPignon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

B52STRATO 215 Posted June 5, 2014 (edited) 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 Edited June 5, 2014 by B52STRATO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stuntman 170 Posted June 8, 2014 Do you plan to make a decal set fot TK's F-14? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peugeot205 2,745 Posted June 8, 2014 (edited) Do you plan to make a decal set fot TK's F-14? Not at all. I'm using TMF F-14 which is much much much better that TK's Tomcat Edited June 8, 2014 by FRPignon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
