Greetings All,

This question may or may not have been asked (I haven't found it,yet) about making other ships with external view instead of just the carriers. I build a lot of Pacific Missions and while building these missions, I would have to include a carrier just to see if the other ships are going where they are supposed to. Also to see if which ship gets sunk first and which ship gets heavily damaged. Sometimes I like to make two battles going on at the same time, one on land and one at sea so timing is everything here. It's exciting for a carrier based aircraft coming back from a mission only to see his carrier is sinking and his fleet being attacked by the enemies fleet itself. Once the carrier is under water, the external view ends there but the battle goes on and unless your a really good flier (dodging flak or AAA's), you won't be able to see the out come.
Static cameras help a little but the ships moves on so several cameras are needed. Maybe a external view for a battleship or a destroyer (maybe just the Fletcher Destroyer) would be enough. Also would it be possible to make the static ships the same way I have suggested for the moving ships? Thank you for your time, Best Regards, Sora

Yes +1 - this would be good. I have tried the Ship camera mod and it is useful, but unless I am using it incorrectly, it flies above the ships (it has a B-25 FM) which means there is a fair amount of tedious work to set waypoints above the route of the ships. It will always fly a lot faster than the ships, so it's not always where you want it to be.

I have also tried using recon planes flying above the ships, but some cherry picking AI comes along and shoots them down!

Good luck with this one
