Re: US BMD capabilities against different target types

Isn't that what THAAD is for? Its literally in its name. Along with Patriot in more limited scenarios.

US BMD capabilities against different target types

I posted this is a tech support thread, but felt it should get a little broader exposure because of all the misconceptions of how tricky BMD is in real life...and CMO

From the CMO discord posted by Dimitris...

Re: Questions Regarding LRDR, SBX-1 and GBI's

This is a great chart that Dimitris shared on discord.

Gives a good reference to what system to use where and on what. This is the most concise graphic I have seen on US BMD.

"what should one do differently if one wanted the bombers not to ignore RTB settings after WP 6 (Station Start) has been reached"

Sometimes starting with a question instead of declaring a bug is the better approach. Regardless of if you think its a bug.


Looking forward to your answer.

Re: Multiple Targets-Single Attacker--Priority Order

Don't forget the target prioritization in RoE. That does a lot of the heavy lifting for the AI. The AI might be "simple-minded", but the devs give you and the designer the tools to guide it properly.

Re: CMO v1.09 Public Beta - Build 1776


It may be a good time to revisit the effectiveness of Chinese, Russian and Iranian radar and SAM capability in a modern electronic battlefield— I’m not trying to start any controversy, it just appears there needs to be some adjustments in effectiveness.

Re: CMO v1.09 Public Beta - Build 1776

The more I think about this, I think the issue might be an anti-virus issue. I would reach out to Matrix tech support. The only issues I have ever had with Steam and CMO has been anti-virus blocking Command.exe from running. One symptom of an anti-virus is that Steam will revalidate the files.

There is something wrong with your settings. I have been using Matrix betas on Steam for years. Not sure what it could be, but I'd start there.

Re: Issue Shooting at Supersonic Targets

Its all about angles. The devs have said years ago that deflection shooting is murder in ABM engagements. And real world testing has shown that to be absolutely true.

Re: Refueling Query

Whether CMO or the player, or a combination of both, just tossing a bunch of flights at a bunch of tankers and expecting it to be point and click is wrong. It takes a lot of planning, thought, and practice to make it work. Sometimes it might work, but most times you'll get unexpected results. There ...

Re: Reassessing JY-27 Radar capabilities

For a month at least F-35s were approaching the air space boundary to trigger radar and air responses. Thats a trick right out of the Israeli and cold war playbook. I'm sure there were Rivet Joints right behind them somewhere.

Re: Reassessing JY-27 Radar capabilities

After every event where we get sketchy "performance" information, there is a hue and cry for re-evaluating the db for specific capabilities. Do you know anything in detail about how it was operating. Was it manned? Who was it manned by? What were the targets? There are dozens of questions that at ...

Re: Question about comms disruption

I ran a scenario of my own that had over a dozen sides. Recon, AD, strike, comms, and few others per side. There was also a neutral side. They came in and out of comms depending on a few scenario events. It was more than five years ago, but it worked at the basic level. It wasn't a huge amount of ...

Re: CMO RUNNING POLL - Gameplay feature requests

I would like a little more tactical flexibility in WRAs, especially in AA engagements. There are a couple of ways to do this:

1) WRAs with minimum and maximum ranges defined. Can default to db minimum for players that don't want to bother. This is most basic approach.

2) Build AA/ASW/ASuW zones ...

[FIXED][1776] UI issues...checkbox for locking ROE visible in regular game.

As the title says. I only checked the game-wide ROE dialog box. It appears to have no effect on the few lines I tested. Just a UI issue that makes people ask questions.
