<t> At the start menu, when I select Start New Scenarios and then click on the directory which contains Community scenarios, then click on the check box to open the directory the check box disappears and I can't see any of the scenarios in the directory.<br/>

I am able to open all the other ...

The Valiant's were well gone by 1981, I think there were a couple of definitely non-flying gate guards around then.

<t> AAAHHHHH <br/>
<br/>
All the times I played this scenario I never even thought about moving the THADDS battery.<br/>

The F5's I just normally rearm with Mk82/83 and use for strikes against some of the more exposed targets later on away from ...

<t> I played through Phase 1 with no real issues. I would suggest that the number of double digit SAMS were increased - a few SA11 in place of some of the SAM 2 & 3 would make things a bit livelier. I went through RED FORCES fighters like a dose of salts and had them all killed after about 16 hours ...

<t> I don't play much music when I play Command, normally I listen to audiobooks or stream BBC Radio 4 or 4 extra.<br/>

There are long periods where you need to wait for something to happen or things are ticking along at a fairly slow pace. Mainly I seem to be listening to a lot of zombie ...

I thought Phoenix had an active "off the rail" mode to attack targets at short range.

<t> If this had been introduced, they would have been able to carry any of the Mk80 bombs, Maverick and various rocket pods plus AIM9, 7 and 120 (eventually), its likely that various other AAM's would have been added eg Python, Darter etc for the export market. It's likely that if it had been ...

Your thinking about the Israeli pre-emptive strike from 1967.

They timed it to hit when the senior Egyptian cvommanders were en-route to their HQ and stuck in the Cairo morning traffic. In the 60's a Blackberry was just a fruit.

They are looking at using a rolling landing for a lot of landings as bring back weights are limited, meaning they would need to dump expensive ordnance otherwise.

<t> I seem to remember a Soviet rapid deployment exercise in the mid-late 80's that had War Pac ships pouring into the North Atlantic, Baltic and North Sea. They went from a peace time to a wartime like posture with almost zero notice. I had a friend associated with Nimrods at Kinloss and they had ...

<t> When I set up a strike mission it will remain in the mission editor even after the target has been destroyed. This makes it confusing, when I have set up strikes on 15 HAS for example it is hard to work out which ones have been killed.<br/>
<br/>
Would it be possible to eliminate each target ...

<t> The OHP class were originally deployed with Standard SM1 which in the 70's was a reasonably effective weapon. They were largely intended to provide ASW screen or convoy escorts in the North Atlantic in a war. Either way they would have been working with dedicated AAW ships or carriers. <br ...

Havana Dreaming for me - another Feltan special. It gets real hectic, real quick.

<t> The USN probably is worried that if the SSC is adopted with Mk 41 VLS cells then Congress may pressure them to buy more SSC's whilst reducing the number of Arleigh Burkes.<br/>
<br/>
Still dumb - why build a ship with a long range anti-ship missiles if they can get whacked by an aircraft/ship ...

It is an excellent novel and according to one Amazon review the combat systems and techniques are very realistic. I have read this a few times over the years and have to say it is an excellent novel and a real page turner.

<t> An interesting novel by an ex-USN Capt PT Deuterman called Scorpion in the Sea. Out of Print but lots used on Amazon.<br/>

Its the post cold war navy of the early 90's just after the Gulf War, the USN is settling into a period of complacency and bureaucratic empire building. Then a ...

The RN used a laser dazzling system in the Gulf during the late 80's and early 90's intended for use against low flying fighters pilots.

I remember that the paint they used was a special anti IR paint, I do know it looked a bit patchy when you saw it up close.

I read somewhere that it always felt "tacky" to the touch but not actually wet.

<t> Just trying this one again. I decided to avoid the Iranians on this one and routed my units south towards Abu Dhabi before making my way around into the Straits.<br/>
<br/>
This time the Iranians took a shot at one of my aircraft and my naval units then launched an unordered Tomahawk strike ...

<t> Just starting my third attempt with this. I too keep getting swarmed right at the start and lose a silly number of US ships, including a DDG (IMHO LCS shouldn't be allowed anywhere near armed hostiles, all they seem to do is soak up gunfire and missiles like a sponge!).<br/>
<br/>
Nicely ...
