  • Fake? Not for me.

    Even i'd flied defending Lady Lex in "BattleHawks 1942" 20 years ago.

  • genial ... on of the best il2-videos, i'd ever seen. 5* but ... is it all made with il-2 ???

  • you've got a sharp eye. ;)

    Not only with il2, sure.

    Can you guess? (hint: try to look closer to guncams and Devastators)

  • no, that is an Essex class carrier, this one is a Lexington class, the Lexington is actually a bit bigger than an Essex though the Essex came with all the advanced features we associate with modern carriers built on, such as a catapult, the only other Lexington class carrier the Saratoga, CV-3 was sunk as a target during operation crossroads, what a waste.

  • there were replacement Lexington's right? ...is this THE one museumed in CC, Texas?

  • cfs2?

  • @Phenixe427 On the other hand, it DID take a nuke to sink her. The japanese tried several times, and only dented the hull. Then agan, both Lex and Sara were battlecruiser hulls. Remember, Saratoga and Independence were expended at Biini to also compare different construction methods of the ships.

  • good job.....one note, though.....lexington, at the time of her loss at coral sea, no longer had her twin 8 inch gun turrets, which had been replaced with 1.1 inch "chicago piano" guns to enhance her anti-aircraft armament. she never received the effective twin 5 inch gun turrets that saratoga eventually received.
