Those are some good looking ships (if I do say so myself).

Really adds a lot to have those extra TMODs sitting on the deck. That goes for the other warships too. Things like turrets, seaplanes and deck cargo.

Agreed, Its great to have 1000 TMods available rather than the 73 or so that we had in EAW 1.2
The ones on the ships make great strafing targets too

I have made a 1.4 gigabyte video of a host-only mission I flew at GameRanger.
You can view it on Utube here:

Taiho and Betties mission

The escorts leave the Taiho to rendezvous with the Betties. In a co-op mission we take bombs and attack the Taiho on the way. With more players we often sink it.
Then we head for the enemy planes, some of us go after the bombers, and others take on the escorts.
In order for me to complete the mission safely I flew open cockpit for most of the time, and to save time I used time acceleration which is available in a host only mission but not in real multiplayer.

The debriefing screen should give you an idea about the use of deck TMods which can be attacked on ships. This is a real feature of UAW160



I would add that with just a few people we usually fly co-operative missions at GameRanger, so if you want to try multiplayer then come and join us- we will not shoot you to pieces

Here's another- a catapult launch
