Those are static search lights set inside the hull of a Static Japanese Boat from the Shippack2. Sorry, missed that question.

Only one mission left to make. I've added some missions based around diary entries from Lt. Charles C. Winnia about training on Ewa, and Espiritu Santu (Code named Buttons). Including entries from the VMF-213 Squadron War Diary. They talk about how the pilots felt when they had to give up their F4F4s for F4Us, and about first experiences Catapulting the F4U from carrier decks in early spring 1943 off the coast of Buttons, and New Caledonia* Island (* However you spell it, i didn't look.) During this early phase of the campaign two pilots from VMF-124 visited VMF-213 and basically taught them how to fly their F4Us at Buttons.

Later in the campaign, when VMF-213 is ordered off the line from their second tour, the player chooses to be a volunteer pilot teaching VMF-123 how to fly the F4U just like the pilots from VMF-124 did for the Hellhawks. VMF-123 had flown its first two tours of duty from Guadalcanal in F4F4s with the objective of protecting the area of Cactus (Guadalcanal) and Knucklehead (The Russell Islands). They didn't see any combat during these first two tours. However, for their third tour they are transferred from ComAirSols to ComAirNewGeorgia, and ordered to be one of the first squadrons to operate from the newly captured airfield at Munda Point. Upon hearing the news, and with the lack of combat experienced pilots, the Commanding Officer of VMF-123 will ask the player to transfer to his squadron for the remainder of their third tour at Munda.

Following your third tour at Munda with VMF-123 the player will rejoin VMF-213, (which flew an uneventful third tour protecting Cactus), as they are being sent to Buttons, and then home to Hawaii. Several missions have been added to the ending also so that your pilot starts at Hawaii, and returns there nine months later.

edit: there, not their
