S3#92 – Tora Tora Tora; Pearl Harbor - Dec 1941
Japanese CVs start at 0,11,1 and head south at 15 mph.
In Frame 1 the IJN get a surprise attack whereas the US cannot scramble until the IJN destroy a ground object. If the US airfields are closed or too well capped they have the option of launching from their nearby CVs in F4F3s. Otherwise they must try and get airborne in their P40Bs from airfields.
Main points are sinking the static DDs in Pearl which represent the USN battleships. Secondary targets are the fuel tanks and airfields. Flak will not be as strong in Frame 1 as Frame 2. Its Sunday and the Americans are sleeping so coordinate and plan well. Hit them hard at the same time and get out of dodge while our zeros hang high and search for the few brave USAAF pilots that rise to the attack.
Good Luck in Frame 1
So AAA will be on prior to the first bomb falling?
It is a fairly simple matter to destroy all the AAA by script and rebuild it later in the frame slowly to simulate the Pearl defenses waking up.
