Minnie gets it.

Its not about barreling in with guns a blazing...

Its about being where they aint. Then finding the hole..and striking then.

Also....

Good things are coming soon to CMO...

Good post. It's like I was time warped back into a classroom at Groton. Some subtle changes in CZ's may up the realism. Got people talking for sure.

Also the way "random" way ASW patrol boxes set up by ref points work now, i have noticed it may take a good amount of time for a MAD contact to happen, if ever. The sonobouys being dropped nail them before a MAD flyover would.

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>I want to add that there is a game-mechanics caveat about this. <br/>
<br/>
Currently MAD detections seem to be be checked every 15 seconds. (Hover a helicopter near a sub you have detected by MAD only. I think you'll see the white contact age numbers counting up to 14 ...

Dammit, now i want a dark mode.

And THAT should be the goal of any real life military/country.

To achieve objectives with the minimum loss of life and equipment.

<t> Way back when i first played this sim, one of the main things that dropped my jaw to the desk was the database. It was like having 3 or more different volumes of Janes reference books in the sim. The complexity of the sim since then has gone up a few notches since then, but thats the way it ...

You would be surprised how much info is on Wikipedia.

Another great reason to have dual monitors! CMANO up on one and wiki on the other while you're scenario building saves time!

<t> I have tackled this subject before, and ill do so again in CMANO later today. Ill do a couple different setups.<br/>

1. Soviet/Russian MAD asset vs. NATO sub (mid 1980's)<br/>
2. NATO MAD asset vs. Soviet sub. (mid 1980's)<br/>
3. Russian MAD asset vs. NATO sub (present day)<br/>

<t> Retired Sonar Tech here, and ill check on this.<br/>
<br/>
Set the DD on a northerly course at 5 knots (creep) it immediately detects a SSN at 4.9 miles or so. none of my sensors are active. I see there is no weather factoring into this, so this is a good pickup at range. ASROC Away!<br/>

<t> Steam version. Its simple to install, and updates itself. DLC's are installed when you buy them and you dont need to keep track of activation codes. You can add the third party DB picture and the community scenario pack with ease. I prefer it to the matrix version for those reasons, although i ...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>Your gettin confused about what the actual issue is as detailed in the very first post. in the nautilus scenario which im looking at now and have posted the save, passive sonar simply DOESNT work at all on my pc<e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE>

Have you tried loading this ...

<r> I was clued in to this thread, and decided on a playthrough, and with a friend, did some research. <br/>

See, after YEARS of playing paper and counter wargames solitaire...things like this dont bug me.

<t> Back in my day, we had various classified and unclassified sources of information. Janes Fighting Ships being one of them.<br/>
<br/>
This is even present in the movie "Hunt For Red October" where in a scene while the captain of the USS Dallas is looking over a chart, you can see a copy of ...

Yes i have been for a few years now. All i will say is it will be glorious.

The devs have been working very hard at it for some time now and its almost magic in what they have done.

Great bunch of guys.

Ill just say this....

All good things come to those who wait.

When you see whats coming, you will all need a change of underpants.

It's going to be worth the wait.

A lot of those "large format books" go cheap used because they take up valuable space for the retailer. Hence why it is good to look on Amazon and check out the used copies before buying new.

<t> acoustic torpedo=noisemaker. <br/>
<br/>
Being a former submariner, i find a lot of this story hard to believe. Just how did the Soviet subs come to find out they were being tracked? And firing off noisemakers would be an action that could be interpreted as hostile, because that would be a ...
