Secret Weapons Over Normandy Playthrough - Mission 7 (PC)

[@codyhartig3513]

I felt so bad when the Yorktown said that she'll be going down D; I *almost* cried at that part, and that's how she became my favorite ship of WW2.

[@MikeJones-qn1gz]

Same as a kid my dad and i would take turns each time one of us died, when we got to MIdway we were stuck for like a week trying to nail all the missions so I fell in love with the battle and the Yorktown.

[@Regal99]

This was a really frustrating level.

[@rubenlopez3364]

I remember the rush of finally getting to the end with almost all allies dead...little or no ammo and a red flaming plane. Its what gaming was always supposed to be about and alot of us didnt realise it then

[@whynot-tomorrow_1945]

For posterity: the best way to beat the section where you fly the SBD Dauntless is to climb to max altitude and fly straight for the carrier. The zeros tend to get busy fighting your allies and you can dive-bomb the carrier before they get back to you. Ironically, this is how the Americans managed to sink the first 3 carriers at the Battle of Midway.

[@Tenchua917]

This was the hardest mission of this game, even harder than the final mission D-Day, reason why? You use a plane that's not upgradeable and are much more inferior than the zekes, took me multiple tries to nail all the missions for this level. But it was fun

[@kennylamorena6339]

When i was a kid playing this i always believed Michael Cane was my trusty Hanger engineer 😄

[@Unmedicated_Moments]

He always did sound like a nice guy

[@rubenlopez3364]

My childhood. I loved how they called it Zeke too like the Pilot most likely said more than Zero

[@Blade115-s4c]

this mission was a pain

[@scorch6200]

Cause the Wildcat is woefully outmatched by zero normally

[@Blade115-s4c]

Yea a couple of years ago I was at the second to last part then died then had to start all over and it kept repeting and it got frustrating

[@rocketeer454]

As much as I love this game, I absolutely hated this mission. :(

[@warwatcher91]

+rocketeer454 Everything was alright up until you have to sink the Hiryu. Those escorting Wildcats aren't nearly enough and the other dauntlesses don't last very long, which leads to you getting jumped by about a dozen zeroes. Not fun times. . .

[@rocketeer454]

Still, the rest of the game was really fun. Unlocking the X-wing and Tie Fighter was great.

[@Trocron]

+rocketeer454 I liked this mission, although it was freaking hard on the hardest difficulty trying to sink the Hiryu....

[@jakebarbee2248]

I used to get the plane at the highest altitude possible and just fly straight to the hiryu. Seemed to be able to avoid fighters that way.

[@tsarfox3462]

Nimitz is such a badass. That's why the US fleet of Supercarriers is named after him.

[@TheRAMBO9191]

It came back it's now in the store on Xbox wwwoooooo! Childhood!

[@OverlordGrizzaka]

Wait really? 360 or Xbox One store?

[@MarksCar-rs1nm]

I just came for Giacchino’s amazing music

[@andreistoica2470]

Masey and Linsey are usually real life pilots who fought on Midway

[@GhostEye31]

For me the first parts were always the easier of the missions, I mean it was long and a slog but the last but going in in a dive bomber slow as all hell with fighters everywhere was wild.

[@GrimmGF]

where do you download that game? used to play it with friends on the ps2, was so much fun

[@alecdavidoff8602]

Go to iso zone .com

[@potato88872]

This group of 3 mission was the only thing that stop for a long time progress the game. Because if you fail one, you have to do all again from the start And i remember all this

[@OverlordGrizzaka]

no Hughes will survive if you engage the Vals quickly enough. I found a glitch as well. If you play operation sea lion right before Midway you will get small bombs for your Wildcat. Its not much but you can drop one on Kaga or Akagi and take a few fighters then turn and sink the destroyers

[@Patrick_OWheresmypants]

Yeah if you play the Sea Lion mission before the first mission you can get small bombs too, I used to destroy the transports for fin when that happened.

[@philipthomas7536]

White was the colour scheme used for carrier based Zeroes.

[@eriknieuwenhuijzen4072]

3.50 ut neerhalen van die zeke's blijft altijd wel nice!;)

[@pedrocardenas9543]

en donde tienes puesto la sensibilidad del enemigo porque yo no llego al portaaviones se me echan encima los zekes enseguida.lo tienes que poner en opciones antes del juego?

[@mekiki9420]

love this game played on ps2

[@effisjens1776]

I gonna try building the wildcat on robocraft.

[@jackwood4228]

Love the mission but I'm reality there were almost no fighter coverage for those carriers during midway

[@rohanchaturvedi7160]

Never knew the game was programmed where the torpedo bombers did little/no damage. No matter hgow hard you tried. Then I read the history about how the devastators were massacred during the battle of midway and the torpedos they used were known to be dodgy. Nice touch to the game.

[@MrSniperdude01]

@@rohanchaturvedi7160 wow so you found one piece of historical accuracy lol. Everything else is fake... No battlehawks, no nemesis, even the Daimler Crysler & 390 planes you take down at the end never existed. Germany did have a super long range plane that recorded 2x flights to Japan. It wasn't a bomber tho.

[@MrSniperdude01]

Correction: Ju-390 did exist, it was actually the plane I was thinking of. It apparently was submitted for the proposed "Amerika bomber". However, since the plan was scrubbed, it was still never used beyond Transport, marine recon, long range travel. Only 2 where built-- 1 completely that was operational. No sources to say it was ever used as a bomber

[@rohanchaturvedi7160]

MrSniperdude01 all I said was the little factual detail about the torpedoes and the devastators was a nice touch. And the Daimler Benz C was designed I think but never made. As were the henschel jets in the D Day mission (think they were made after the war). Wasserfall missiles also got to test stage I think

[@MrSniperdude01]

@@rohanchaturvedi7160 I know. And I'm agree with you since even I didn't know that stuff. I just think they could have made it more factual historically based game, say like MoH or Call of Duty: Big Red One.

[@groundhero10casual]

my one problem with this game is that they made all torpedo planes, except yours, useless while the dive bombers super anti-spam killers. what a waste.

[@Luke_Danger]

+BigShipFan16 That's actually historical - American torpedoes were really REALLY bad in the early stages of the war. Most of them were built during the Depression and given the lack of funds to go around there was not much eagerness in testing them. Then US pilots and submarine crew found out the hard way that our quality control for those wasn't good enough...

[@OverlordGrizzaka]

+Luke Danger That's how Midway actually went. The attack aircraft launched out of order. Torpedo 8 went in alone and everyone was shot down. Torpedo 3 and 6 went just before Bombing/Fighting 3 and Bombing/Fighting 3 got there and got torn up. The torpedo attacks brought all the fighters down to sea level to deal with and others so there was no CAP to deal with. Nagumo had ordered bombs to finish off Midway so the carriers were just one huge bomb with fully armed and fueled planes.

[@MarksCar-rs1nm]

Best music 12:18

[@nikolaveselinovic5687]

I am having a terrible glitch in the game, as my throttle up button doesn't work at all, so I am just flying there watching the dive bombers get destroyed. Anyone having idea how to fix that problem? Tried to fix it in the settings, didn't really worked.

[@MikeJones-qn1gz]

New controller?

[@elbuenfil6215]

download plis

jogabilidade HORRÍVEL !!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jakebarbee1524]

Sounds like George Bush narrating.

[@HaedenBeck]

Ahahaha it does.

[@tetragon2137]

Part of the problem is the awful F4F Wildcat. True to reality, the Wildcat, when fighting the Zero, was an absurdly lopsided affair in favour of the Zeroes (or Zekes, as the game refers to them). The US's Thach Weave tactic worked against the Zero *despite* the F4F, not *because* of it.

[@NLPETERNL]

***** who cares?
