<t> Willie: Will check on that, dont know the conditions set in the tutorial mission. I do know that I didnt see an increase in accuracy shell per shell; the miss values seem to be generated by a RNG. There was no appreciable difference between shooting at mid or close range. I will say that my ...

<t> No. In 1995, the USMC stated that their requirements for fire support was 63nm. The arsenal ship trainwreck that preceeded the current LCS trainwreck was envisioned as a massive crusie missile platform. <br/>
My point was that part of the marketing for the LCS modular design when it came about ...

<t> Hey guys...been away from the game quite awhile due to RL commitments...<br/>
I recently downloaded the game again and put it on girlfriends laptop as my rig is currently OOC.After firing it up I ran the tutorial with the Burke wherein you kill the sub, engage shore targets with gun and ...

<t> At one point during the debate for reactivating the battleships the charge was made that while the battleships were incapable in present configuration of achieving the USMCs requirement for naval fire support (63nm in support of amphib forces), it was suggested that the LCS WOULD be able meet it ...

<t> Actually...the LCS WERE designed for direct combat. Their modular design was touted as being adaptable, and one of the interim steps the Navy envisioned to replace the Naval surface fire support role void left by the removal of the battleships.<br/>
Like many pork barrel projects, the LCS was ...

My humblest apologies gentlemen. After review and experimentation I realized I didn't have enough A/C assigned to my CAP mission (only had 5 instead of 6) so my birds were launching singly. Just cancelled a CAP mission and reassigned a new one and both F14s launched together. So Solly!!!!

<t> If this is in the wrong location, I apologize...<br/>
Knowing that there is a thriving a bright dev team and community I thought I would broach a question. I notice the damage control button that brings up a status of various systems and their condition. There does not seem to be away to ...

If you right click on a selected unit its under the attack options drop down menu...last item on the list.

<t> As JD said...the ship's FC system generates a solution based on ownship movement AND target movement, and predicts future movement. Is it 100%? Hardly. Believe it or not, a large ship (BB/BC) moving at 30+ knots doesnt actually travel that far in the time it takes a salvo to cover the distance ...

Sar,
Do you have the box that tells them to investigate contacts checked on your missions? I had this problem where my CAP would wander off randomly towards ESM hits. Checked the editor and unchecked that box...problem *seems* to have been fixed...

<t> Thanks again for the quick response, guys! One of the serious upsides is how involved you guys are with A)constantly improving and tweaking the game, and B) staying in touch and in tune with the player base. Impressive!<br/>
<br/>
--Mike: sorry for the nitpicky CAP issue...your solution works ...

Situational and threat level dependent Im sure. Personally I dont like to saddle the fast movers with the strike package; the only escort I would use would be SEAD birds. Keep the fighters separate and run them on MiG sweeps/OCA

<t> Finally, the US Naval Fire Support Association proposed a more conservative approach ...<br/>
Forget the ABL's...the USNFSA envisioned 2x16 VLS emplacements (1p/1s) where the forward ABLs were sited, and 4x16 VLS emplacements where the 4 aft ABLs were sited (athwart ship, just aft of second ...

<r> There were a couple of ideas floated around regarding the "phase II" modernization of the Iowa's.<br/>
The first was proposed by C Myers in the late 70s and involved removing turret 3, covering the barbette with 6" steel plate, and rebuilding the fantail aft of the superstructure into a flight ...

<t> This is correct. Warspite did have the longest gun hit in history. I want to point out that Warspite was a World War I retread and managed to pull off tthis remarkable feat. The Iowa's in World War II, even with the Mk 8 radars, had a much more accurate and reliable FCS. After the 80's refits ...

As far as SS-N-12/19...obviously there are a multitude of engagement parameters that can impact a SAM engagement. When I referred to SS-N-12/19 as relatively easy targets it was based on the typical (at ...
