Here, both ships of the class feature these guns even in the Leyte and Okinawa missions. The Yamato in both campaigns features extra 6-inch secondaries, which were removed late in the war in favor of additional dual-purpose and anti-aircraft guns.During the time of that battle in Real Life, Iowa instead had an open bridge configuration. In the Cape Engano mission, the battleship Iowa has its signature closed bridge.note The real-life ships were a New Orleans and St.

One example being the USS San Francisco and USS Helena in the Cape Esperance mission appearing as a Northampton-class and Cleveland-class, respectively.

Artistic License Ships: Only a limited number of ship classes appear in-game, resulting in some ships not being of the proper class when appearing in Single Player.

The worst offender being the Okinawa level in the American campaign (which in real life lasted 2 months).

Some battles that lasted weeks or even months are squeezed into the span of 1 day.

Here, they're to be annihilated along with Kirishima and the rest of the IJN force. note In real life, the latter was sunk by American submarines during the Battle of Leyte Gulf, while the former survived the war, only to be scuttled by the British later. The best example illustrating this would be Takao and Atago in the Second Naval Battle of Guadalcanal mission.

Artistic License History: A lot of the Japanese ships required to be destroyed as objectives in the American campaign were either destroyed by different circumstances or survived later in the war (only to be sunk by a different method).

Anti-Air: Both land-based anti-aircraft guns and ship-mounted guns are present in-game, but the most notable example would be the Atlanta-class Light Cruiser and Akizuki-class destroyer, which are essentially the floating embodiments of this trope.

Unfortunately for users of the PC version, this means that the Downloadable Content (which is only available through the aforementioned service) for this game is inaccessible. Thanks to Games For Windows Live's shutdown in 2013, the multiplayer portion of this game is more-or-less dead. The former is mostly the same as to how the battles went historically, beginning with where Battlestations: Midway left off.The latter, meanwhile starts out similarly, with the attack on Pearl Harbor going off as planned, but then shifts into a What If? scenario starting with the Midway battle. The Single-Player mode is divided into the American and Japanese campaigns.

In this game, players control a number of different air and sea units from both the United States and Imperial Japan during World War II in the Pacific. It is the sequel to the 2007 game Battlestations: Midway. Battlestations: Pacific is an action and Real-Time Tactics game by Eidos Interactive, released on May 12th, 2009 for PC and Xbox 360.
