Models extracted from World of Warships and adapted for IL-2 by Asheshouse.
The Omaha Class were built as fast fleet scout cruisers at the end of WWI. A total of ten were built and although they were nearing obselesence all ten served through WWII. Two of the class were present during the attack on Pearl Harbour, Raleigh and Detroit. Subsequently they were mainly involved in secondary theatres but saw significant action.
The Atlanta Class were state of the art fast cruisers commisioned at the start of WWII. Eight were built in total. Proving to be effective anti-aircraft ships, the last four to be built included armament changes to optimise them for this role. USS Atlanta saw action at Midway, Eastern Solomons and Guadalcanal, where she was sunk in surface action.
The USS Colorado was the lead ship of a class of three battleships commisioned in the 1920's. She was undergoing a refit at Puget Sound when the attack on Pearl Harbour took place. She went on to provide service throughout the Pacific campaign. She received another major refit before the Leyte Gulf operations. The model represents her appearance from 42 to 43.
The USS North Carolina, and her sister ship Washington, were the first of the Fast Battleship classes. They entered the conflict during the Guadalcanal Battles both as escorts to the carrier task forces and in direct defence of Henderson Field. The added AA firepower from North Carolina was a crucial factor in the Battle of the Eastern Solomons in August 42 and probably saved the carrier Enterprise from being sunk.
