Morphing Cell Posted January 10, 2001 Share Posted January 10, 2001 The "14" Naval Artillery" thread reminds me that I haven't seen it yet since I got the game a few weeks ago. So I started looking for the 14", but I couldn't find it! Is there a built-in scenario that has the 14"? I tried to find it in the scenario builder, but strangely I couldn't find it.

Dittohead Posted January 10, 2001 Share Posted January 10, 2001 I believe it is only available in June and July of 44. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorak Posted January 10, 2001 Share Posted January 10, 2001 Not sure of the Date's... Dittohead might be right. But since 14 inch artillery is naval guns. It is only avalible really early, when the ships could still reach the action.

Bullethead Posted January 10, 2001 Share Posted January 10, 2001 Dittohead is indeed correct. In CM, the 14" FOs are only available in June 44. However, to find the actual 14" naval artillery, you have to go to Pasadena, Texas (more or less part of Houston). There, at the San Jacinto Battlefield Memorial, moored in beautiful Buffalo Bayou, you will find the old battleship USS Texas, complete with all 10 of her 14" guns which actually fired on the Normandy and Cherbourg areas. ------------------ -Bullethead In wine there is wisdom, in beer there is strength, in water there is bacteria.

Lorak Posted January 10, 2001 Share Posted January 10, 2001 Bullethead, That may be true. But if you want to see some real stopping power. Graduate to my states 16 inch guns. USS North Carolina Oh, they has have a panoramic cam of the inside of turret #3 at thier site. http://www.battleshipnc.com/ Lorak ------------------ "Do not wait to strike till the iron is hot; but make it hot by striking."--William Butler Yeats Cesspool Combatmissionclub Lorak's FTX and for Kitty's sake =^..^= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subvet Posted January 10, 2001 Share Posted January 10, 2001 You guys have the dates wrong. You can get 14" naval support in August of '44. I'm not sure what the cut off date is, but I guarantee it is available in August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Smith Posted January 10, 2001 Share Posted January 10, 2001 Any scenarios with the big, big guns in em please? I just got the game and would love to try out some really big artillery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Madmatt Posted January 10, 2001 Share Posted January 10, 2001 June, July, August 44. If you need them but want to design a battle for a different date then set the date to one of the months above. Add the 14's then change the date to what you wish it to be. This same technique applies to all units and is permitted to give designers some leeway in building scenarios. Madmatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy w/gun Posted January 10, 2001 Share Posted January 10, 2001 USS Texas?! Hell yeah! I used to love visiting that old ship when I was a kid! My mother has pictures of me all over that ship. The pictures really show how different it looks now after they did all the work to it. It's cool to be on the deck of such an OLD ship. Two WWs! Wow!!! (Imagine my joy when they brought a REAL aircraft carrier to Corpus Christi!!!) By the way, what class of BB is the USS Alabama??? Loved that one two!

kverdon Posted January 15, 2001 Share Posted January 15, 2001 The Alabama is a South Dakota class Battleship. If you want to see some good shots of her, rent the movie "Under Siege" about Steven Segal fighting off Terrorists taking over a BB. Check your brain at the door and have fun with it. The movie is supposed to be on the Missouri and alot of the 'at sea' shots were filmed of a Iowa class BB but the closeup shots were all filmed on the 'bama.
