Fly with VC-27, the highest air-to-air scoring FM-2 unit in the Pacific, from the deck of the USS Savo Island CVE.
The Savo Island had a remarkable and busy career in the last two years of the war, supporting the U.S. invasions of Peleliu, the Philippines, and Okinawa.
"Part 1" of this historical campaign (26 missions) takes you through VC-27's tour of duty with the Savo Island, from Peleliu through the invasion of Luzon in January of 1945. Among other battles, you will fight as part of "Taffy 2" off Samar on October 25, 1944, where the Japanese gave the U.S. a big scare when some of their battleships and cruisers threatened the Leyte invasion beaches. Later that same day, American sailors and pilots were subjected to some of the first organized Kamikaze strikes of the war.
The download includes the campaign, four VC-27 FM-2 skins by WarWolfe, and alternative FM-2/F4F (Wright Cyclone) engine sounds.
You'll be all set if you're using the Unified Installer version 1.1 or later, along with LaLRone's Hangar mod from AAA.
Links and instructions on how to install all components of the campaign are included in the readme.
Maps Used: Palau and dlvpier's Philippines map.
Player Aircraft: FM-2 Wildcat
