Falklands DLC - Op Sutton - Boat Operations

The Op Sutton scenario requires you to "Unload Rapier units and Scimitar and Scorpion tanks from the LPDs Fearless and Intrepid"

I assume this is done via the Boat Operations interface but I can't work it out.

I assume the boats listed for each ship are all fully loaded, and they should be ...

Re: [DONE] New Scenario: Caribbean Crisis - The Showdown, 2012

Looking at the dates on the other posts I'm pretty late to the party, but had to say thank you for the great scenario, which I found in the community pack.

I got my arse handed to me a few times, but I haven't had that much fun since the old Harpoon 3 days.

Naval air ops, choppers, boat landings ...

RE: Changing submarine loadout

Thank you!

I had assumed that reload priority only applied once the weapon had fired, I didn't realise it triggered a change in the load. I will give it a try.

RE: Unable to select target

Is there a way to see all of the red text in the weapons window when a weapon can't fire?<br/>

I can usually only read the first part of it because the text is cut off by the edge of the window ...

Changing submarine loadout

<t> I can't work out how to change the loadout in my submarine's 533mm tubes.<br/>
<br/>
Say I'm loaded with Mk84's and I want to switch to Tomahawks without first firing the Mk84's, how do I do that?<br/>

I can only find a command to reload with the different load after firing, not what I ...

Unable to select target

<t> Shortly after I saved in the attached, my ship Yorktown is attacked by an aircraft.<br/>

When I try to engage the aircraft by using ctrl f1 and clicking on it, the weapons screen comes up with the target as a BOL point and I can only use BOL capable weapons. <br/>

RE: Torpedo targeting

<t> Thanks for the reply!<br/>

I hope there is a way to control activation as it was a key part of my submarine game - if you can activate a torpedo so that it closes on the Target from an entirely different bearing to the one you are on you have a much better chance of staying hidden.<br ...

Torpedo targeting

In Harpoon I wwould set an activation point at which the torpedo would go active and start homing in on the target, usually from a different bearing to the one I was on.<br/>

RE: Sheer enjoyment

I had to look up USS Langley!

Interesting to read some of the reviews on Steam, some people just don't seem to get the difference between a simulator like CMO and a lightweight game, which appears to be where most of the bad reviews come from. Must be frustrating for the devs...

RE: Harpoon player starting on CMO - tracking window question

Thanks.

Seems like a feature that could well be included, but on the whole CMO doesn't seem to be very multiple-windows-based.

I will go looking for a feature suggestion thread.

Some aircraft will happily launch as a group when I select that option, others will launch as individual aircraft and I am unable to later select them and form a group. <br/>

The aircraft in the group launch are all the same.<br/>
