The Gekko handles smoother than the Zero and can outperform it in most cases, but the plane is very much under-armed, and its cannons has a slower rate of fire than other planes. They are usually carried aboard cruisers or seaplane tenders, from which they are launched by a steam catapult. The Lightning is very fast for a bombing unit and can be used to make quick strikes against undefended targets. Despite these flaws, the plane can easily outrun all Allied fighters, and the 30mm cannons in the nose can almost instantly destroy any enemy aircraft, including heavy bombers. As far as reconnaissance aircraft go, the Jake is one of the most useful in the game. In terms of payload, the Betty has a slight improvement, able to carry sixteen 250kg bombs rather than the twelve of the Nell. Although it isn't as fast as the Lightning with its payload, it carries a devastating volley of rockets that can take down light surface targets like destroyers from range. I only downloaded the demo at random, but even me who's never played the first games was able to fix the plane's controls to match Ace Combat/Crimson Skies/Battlefront 2. Firstly, it is far more maneuverable, but still not as maneuverable as a fighter. Official Description: The first prototype for this twin-engined bomber flew in 1935, and it entered full production in 1936. A Japanese version of the TBM Avenger's Tiny Tim rocket, the Ohka has a few advantages. For details on unlocking the Ohka Carrier and the Ohka itself, see the section on the MXY-7 Ohka. This high speed allows it to reach areas of concern across the map much quicker than many other aircraft, and the Zero, like the Oscar, can be equipped with two 100kg bombs. Designed to be faster, longer-ranged and better-defended than its predecessor, the 'Emily' is reckoned to be the finest flying boat in service with any country. Its top speed in level flight is 201 mph (328 km/h), or 284 mph (455 km/h) with its boost engaged. < > Showing 1-3 of 3 comments . Aug 17, 2015 @ 8:31am your BB must have a ramp for it. It carries two 7.7mm guns and one 7.7 rear gun, meaning it can shrug off light air attacks and strafe weaker ships if necessary, and its 500kg bomb is good for anything up to a destroyer, or, when deployed en masse, a light cruiser. It is now the Navy's foremost carrier-based bomber. It is horribly obsolescent compared to other nations' torpedo bombers, being a biplane of metal and fabric construction with a low speed compared to other aircraft. That said the Devastator is a fine torpedo bomber, even if it is a sub-par fighter. All Discussions Screenshots Artwork Broadcasts Videos News Guides Reviews Battlestations: Pacific > General Discussions > Topic Details. Corsairs are best used, therefore, as strike aircraft to be supplemented by a smattering of fighter escort. Known to the Japanese as the 'Type 97 Flying Boat', it can carry a payload of torpedoes, a 2205 lb bomb load or 16 passengers. Its extra guns allow it to shred bombers easily and its small profile makes it hard to hit, however it is easily outmatched by very common planes like the A6M Zero and is best deployed as a defense for land bases so it can bring it's guns to bear on the Nells and the Bettys. The Oscar has lost some manoeuvrability since the last game, however it still remains one of the most agile aircraft featured, just losing out to the Zero in turning capacity. Capable of higher speeds than any comparable American plane, and more manoeuvrable to boot, it also boasts a hugely powerful armament of two 7.7 mm machine guns and two 20mm cannons which fire explosives shells, giving it the power to shred any enemy in seconds. This pack features 24 revamped missions and 4 new missions to the classic campaigns alongside many unlockable units that were presented from the vanilla version of the game. Whilst the H8K Emily is undeniably a much more accomplished craft, the Mavis is still an incredibly useful tool. In the event of a submarine attack, this upgraded Avenger packs the only homing "missile" of the game - the FIDO homing torpedo. The SB2C takes the spot of the Dauntless not only as dive bomber but also as sub-hunter, as the Dauntless is now unable to equip depth charges. Complete Mission 5 - Invasion of Port Moresby with a silver medal to unlock this deadly fighter. The Dauntless is a fine dive bomber, but unfortunately it lacks power and is highly specialized. It is capable of carrying a single 500kg bomb - the same as a D3A Val - for attacking ships and land bases. The Americans' trademark bomber, the B-17 is a powerful and sturdy bomber, one of the best in the game. Its primary strength is its versatility, which allows it to be a torpedo bomber to attack enemy ships with or with bombs to help bomb the enemy port facilities which are the objective. It was the first plane to conduct a transoceanic attack when it was used to bomb mainland China during the Sino-Japanese War. +1 hidden objective Past Memories: Destroy both Henry's ship and Donald's plane in Pearl Harbor. As the main Japanese dive bomber, the Val is a highly proficient aircraft, capable of carrying one 500kg bomb but with enough agility to serve as a primitive dogfighter. The Japanese sport rockets on their Shinden and Raiden aircraft. roushfan1799 11 years ago #1. The P-80 can easily be observed as an opponent in Competitive Clash. It has superb turning compared to the Wildcat, but is inferior to the Hellcat. It is capable of 174 mph normally, or, with boost engaged, 243 mph, making it fairly fast in comparison with American dive bombers, and its armour, whilst still woefully thin, is better than that of the Val. However, some aircraft - most notably the J2M Raiden - are designed specifically for taking down American heavy bombers like this one. It is a simple design, consisting of a welded metal frame with fabric stretched over it, but its six wing-mounted machine guns give it excellent firepower. It proved its merit as a fighter plane in the Battle of Britain, where it accounted for more enemy kills than all other ground and air defenses combined. Ohkas, however, are extremely slow without their boost, making them easy targets for fighters. They are launched from ships by steam catapults. Complete Mission 12 - Air Raid against Indochina to unlock this massive carpet bomber. Its primary role is to sink enemy ships with torpedoes, although it can also be equipped with a single 1000 lb bomb to attack land targets with. Like the Dauntless it can be used as a fighter, but this is inadvisable. Official Description: This carrier-borne dive bomber would be introduced in 1942, to replace the 'Val' on IJN carriers. Its speed and climb combined with the focused firepower made it a fearsome opponent of the Japanese planes. Battlestations Pacific is the sequel to the critically acclaimed Battlestations Midway. Combined with its relatively small profile, this makes for a highly effective dogfighter - Hurricanes and Hellcats usually dominate the game's Duel mode. In service since 1939, it is easily recognisable through its fixed landing gear. Note that the Kikka is about as sluggish as a Raiden in turning battles, necessitating skillful manipulation of airspeed in order to prevail in a dogfight. Hermes-class. Although it is slower and less maneuverable than its Japanese equivalent, the Aichi 'Val', it is an excellent dive bomber thanks to its very good flight characteristics, and is also able to absorb heavy amounts of damage. Like the F1M Pete and the E13A Jake, its machine gun is practically useless and does little damage against nearly every unit, even against machine gun-vulnerable cargo ships and scout planes. However, it carries very little defensive armament, and is vulnerable to attack by fighter aircraft. It is used in many roles, such as reconnaissance, transport, search and rescue and convoy escort. Although the Emily can be equipped with nothing but its guns, you will never find a use for this option so make sure you always have some form of payload. In addition, its versatility also allows it to become a highly effective anti submarine unit when equipped with depth charges – it carries four, more than most other aircraft, allowing you to totally destroy a submarine in just two well-aimed strikes. The Gekko is a twin-engined fighter, much like the Lightning. It outclasses the B-17 but is inferior to the B-29 in comparison in terms of defense against enemy aircraft, and retains the same speed as the other Japanese bombers. Official Description: The SB2C Helldiver, sometimes called 'Big-Tailed Beast' by its crew came into service in 1943, replacing the aging SBD Dauntless dive bombers. For Battlestations: Pacific on the Xbox 360, a GameFAQs Q&A question titled "Where can I find Donald's plane in Pearl Harbor? Even if the submarine somehow evades the torpedo, it will loop around and reacquire its target. Battlestations Midway Page 2 Sradar. Unlike the American rockets, which are best used against ground and naval targets (but can also be employed against aircraft), the Japanese rockets are optimized for air battles. King George V-class. Although the plane can equip bombs, the bombs are utterly useless as even transport ships can shoot down this tiny fragile aircraft. It could easily outperform the opposing Japanese airplanes in terms of speed, but not in manoeuvrability. Official Description: The futuristic-looking Shinden was an experimental aircraft developed for the Imperial Japanese Navy as a highly maneuverable interceptor. The American premiere torpedo bomber, the Avenger sports average speeds and durability with no major weaknesses. A dedicated interceptor, the Raiden's strengths are in speed and attacking power - allowing it to down heavily armoured opponents like B-17s with ease. This makes the B-17 mostly useful against large ships, where its accuracy isn't that big of an issue. Battlestations Pacific is the sequel to the critically acclaimed Battlestations Midway.Take the fight in the Pacific direct to the enemy in this epic action-strategy game where players command and take control of over 100 air, sea and undersea units.Fight in two massive historic single player campaigns and battle online in a deep multiplayer game featuring 5 unique modes across … Designed to counter allied bombing raids, the Raiden is equipped with four heavy 20mm cannons, which are excellent against all kinds of enemy planes. It is also slightly more manoeuvrable in some situations, with a similar AA complement as the Mavis. L2Ds, unlike ships, are very vulnerable to machine gun fire, and therefore should constantly be escorted by fighters. The only thing that lessens the Shinden's dogfighting potential is its slow rate of fire, even then, it can quickly take out enemy planes with ease. Counterpart to the TBF Avenger of the US Navy, this plane has a slight edge over the Avenger in terms of top speed and maneuverability. I copied the xlive.dll from one of my other games (Dirt 2) and pasted it to the Battlestations Pacific folder. Official Description: The Kingfisher is the Navy's standard float plane, serving on all battleships and cruisers. Unlike its replacement, the Kate again lacks any form of decent armour, meaning fighter aircraft will find it easy to intercept and destroy, so ensure you have adequate AA protection, be it in the form of a fighter escort or a ship with good AA guns, when the Kates are en route to the target. Despite its metallic framework, note that the plane is just as fragile as any other fighter, and can easily be shot down by planes that manage to get in behind it. The suicide pilot is locked within the small plane from the outside, and upon release, he has to glide and direct his plane towards enemy targets and start the rocket engine. The C-47 deploys paratroopers to capture islands quickly and is ideally deployed to remote island bases that would take ships too long to reach. This, coupled with its massive armament of machine guns, make it difficult to shoot down. The plane itself is very similar to the standard version of the G4M, and one Ohka is carried underneath its fuselage. This high-altitude bomber is renowned for its toughness and high altitude operations, making it a difficult target for fighters to attack. doolcookies. That said, however, it does not boast the same performance as the Hellcat or its other contemporaries. It features a number of notable improvements, including the ability to carry a larger bomb load, an internal weapons bay, retracting landing gear and the ability to carry depth charges. Interestingly, the TBF Avenger's guns are in front of the cockpit, whilst the TBM Avenger's are located on the wings. Whilst the four 250kg bombs are a novel idea, the Mavis makes a poor level bomber, so either rely on dive bombers or purpose built level bombers for this duty. The game is based in World War II as you fight either as the japanese or americans to victory. The favorite dive bomber of many Midway players, the Dauntless now must share the limelight with its bigger brother, the SB2C. Secondly, it can now carry a single torpedo. Official Description: The Catalina is a venerable aircraft, having been in service since 1936. The following information is from a video game, and may or may not be historically accurate. As the Americans, the game picks up … The addition of the OS2U Kingfisher, which also carries depth charges and its own sonar, renders the Catalina unfavourable on almost all terms. The Devastator is very much a dedicated torpedo bomber and cannot carry anything else. It is one of few missions in which the player only controls aircraft; you will pilot a B5N Kate torpedo plane, a D3A Val dive bomber, and the infamous A6M Zero. These planes are an upgrade over the Kates, with a larger, more powerful engine and longer range while still being capable of carrying the same torpedo or bomb load. Far outclassing the Nell and the Betty for firepower and durability, the B-17 also sports a heavier bomb load and multiple machine guns for defence. Although the Kate and the Jill are more popular torpedo bombers, do not discount the Betty as one either. It is very popular with the pilots of the Kido Butai, and in training they have achieved dive-bombing accuracy statistics exceeding 80%. The Catalina and the Kingfisher both have extremely far vision. They are primarily used for reconnaissance, though they can play an antishipping role when armed with a 250kg bomb, which is effective against any small warship. It earned a total of 75% of the aerial victories, and at the end, the Hellcats had a surprisingly good 19:1 kill ratio against Japanese aircraft. Capable of 151 mph, the Betty is just as slow as the Nell, but the upgraded AA guns and armor means this is less of an issue. The devastator is slow and clumsy and aircraft like the A6M Zero and the Ki-43 Oscar will send it tumbling from the sky. F4U Corsair The F4U Corsair is the premier American fighter/bomber unit. Unlike Battlestations Midway, it is impossible to alter the number of planes in a squadron. Official Description: The Fairey Swordfish is the Royal Navy's foremost carrier-based torpedo bomber, and has been in service since 1936. This page has been accessed 95,092 times. Official Description: The Hawker Hurricane has been the Royal Air Force's main single-engine fighter since 1937, and has been produced in huge numbers. The suicide pilot is locked within the small plane from the outside, and upon release, he has to glide his plane towards enemy targets before starting the rocket engine. The Val is also unusual in that it is one of the only monoplanes of World War II to feature static landing gear, no doubt to keep the aircraft light and to save costs. Battlestations Pacific Experience one war through two epic sagas where you will be a part of history or change it. Apparently often misidentified as the Gloster Gladiator, the Fairey Swordfish is the only biplane the Allies have to offer. As with almost all Japanese aircraft (with the exception of level bombers), it comes with a kamikaze variant which makes a fair dogfighter, but purpose built aircraft are much better if available. Renown-class. It has, however, turned out to be largely unsatisfactory, being too unstable and under-armed, as well as overweight for carrier operations. It is often used as a counter to large forces of battleships or heavy cruisers - just a few hits with the Tiny Tim can sink a Yamato-class. Official Description: Known to the Japanese as the 'Type 97 Carrier Attack Bomber', this plane has been in service with the IJN as a torpedo bomber since 1939. This page has been accessed 83,740 times. Also, since rockets tend to reload most of the time, this can cause an unnecessary loss of performance in the middle of a dogfight. Official Description: Coming into full production in 1940, the P-40 represents the latest installment in the Curtiss' "Hawk" line of aircraft. The B5N was a very old aircraft by mid World War II, and it shows in the game. Official Description: The B6N Jill is the standard carrier-borne torpedo bomber for the Imperial Japanese Navy, replacing the old B5N Kate torpedo bombers. The OS2U is the scout plane of choice for many American players. Take the fight in the Pacific direct to the enemy in this epic action-strategy game where players command and take control of over 100 air, sea and undersea units. Armed with the standard six .50 calibre M2 Browning machine guns, it also has hard points for two bombs or six high-velocity rockets, making this plane an excellent choice for any commander in the Pacific. Official Description: The TBF Avenger is a three-seater aircraft that entered service in early 1942, replacing the TBD Devastator as the Navy's main carrier-based torpedo bomber. Interestingly, the Jill also has an internal armament bay. The Shinden is incredibly quick, capable of 213 mph in normal flight and, with boost engaged, 301 mph. Against submarines, three Emilies are often overkill. Nevertheless, it has already achieved legendary status, thanks to its decisive attack on the German battleship Bismarck, as well as the groundbreaking strike on the Italian Navy's port at Taranto, where numerous warships were sunk at anchor in a surprise torpedo attack. The massive 800kg bomb is useful against most ships, and, when deployed in large numbers, has the ability to take on larger ships (however, be advised torpedo bombers are more suited to this task). Without any armor or real firepower, it's not a combat machine. The Elco remains virtually unchanged from Midway. The disc should autorun and will take you to the installation screen. It leaves something to be desired, however, in terms of how well the plane handles. It travels at 202 mph (324 km/h) in level flight, and 284 mph (458 km/h) with its boost. Just like in real life, the Hellcat can easily outmaneuver the Zero, making it the preferred plane for any fighter ace. In fighter duels, the P-80 is the unlock of choice. Ohka Carriers are also more heavily armoured and sport player-controllable machine guns, making them tougher targets. The B-17 is a very robust aircraft, capable of sustaining vast damage and still remaining airborne. There are 2 campaign lines. It's speed in level flight is 215 mph, or 304 mph with its boost engaged. Based on the designs of the German Messerschmitt Me-262 fighter, Japan decided to build its own version, which was in many ways inferior to the original German design. Dive bomber pilots disliked the handling characteristics of the bigger and heavier Helldiver, and wanted to stay with the Dauntless, but the extra striking power of the Helldiver was required by the US Navy. It is a highly maneuverable and stable airplane; indeed, it is so agile that it can serve as a dogfighter if needs be. However, the Mitchell can protect itself easier and has a lot more armor at the expense of speed. The Zero differs from the Oscar in a number of ways, most notably in its armament. Rambo159. The Seiran can carry a single torpedo or bombs weighing up to 800kg. It's possible to use your twin AA guns on them, but they are rather hard to hit. Capable of carrying a 8000 lb payload of bombs nearly 2000 miles, it is ideally suited to service in the Pacific. The Zero is the most balanced fighter in the Japanese arsenal. All Discussions Screenshots Artwork Broadcasts Videos News Guides Reviews. It is best, as such, deployed against battleships. Home. Once deployed from its carrier, very little can stop the tiny aircraft from striking its target, as its single boost propels it up to 1000 kilometres per hour. Official Description: The M6A Seiran was exclusively designed for submarine use, and to be carried by and launched from the I-400 class submarines. Nevertheless, it is a remarkably able aircraft, with a fine turn of speed for a biplane and exceptional manoeuvrability. Overall, the Mavis is a good aircraft if you can get it within range, but the H8K Emily is a much better bet, with superior armor and a smaller profile allowing it to penetrate enemy AA much more easily. Featuring three 7.7mm machine guns and two 20mm guns, the Betty has much improved AA defences meaning you do not need as large an escort, however it is still advised to have at least one squadron for fighter escort duties. The F4U Corsair is the premier American fighter/bomber unit. It's time for some Battlestations: Pacific and thought it would be a nice touch to show all units in game. Official Description: The F4F is the Navy's main carrier-based fighter, and has been in full service since August 1940. Mission Hidden Objectives-----Japan Campaign-----Attack on Pearl Harbor Destroy the Neosho and the California together. Elcos, being cheap t… Official Description: The P-51 Mustang, a long range fighter aircraft built by North American Aviation, is considered to be one of the finest and best fighter aircraft of the Second World War. Its speed is comparable to the 'Zero' fighter, while its internal bomb-bay and retractable landing gear both make for excellent aerodynamics. It is best to keep the plane light so that it can dogfight with maximum effectiveness. User Info: roushfan1799. This is the fastest plane in the Pacific period, beating out the Japanese Kikka. Fighter escort is generally necessary to protect the bombers, but they can hold their own against all but the most concerted air defenses. Due to this, it is best employed as a form of early warning aircraft, sent to isolated regions on the map to check for any reinforcements or enemy units which might try and flank you, and, depending on their size, strike if necessary. The plane is also very large, making it an easy target. As is the case with pretty much every Japanese aircraft, the Nell suffers from poor armour, meaning just a few good hits is enough to finish one off. Having the same R-2800 engine as the Corsair the plane was very heavy and had huge wings, especially if compared to the Japanese Zero.
