AAR

My strategy was to use the fast patrol boats closest to the merchants as close-in escorts and use the other one to reconnoiter the coast. I also launched 1 UAV. I had the frigate set course to rendezvous with the merchants but didn't expect it to do much for a while. Right off the bat, one ...

Interesting. It used to be if you landed troops in "water" terrain that they were STUCK. They must have changed the speed modifier on that kind of terrain.


I went backed and looked at the scenario I made and it turns out I had effects of terrain type turned off.

However, I then ran a test with ...

That sounds like a question about the combat taking place after the landing itself and less so about the actual landing.

As far as how terrain impacts landings, when I have played around with amphibious operations using the cargo function, LCACs have never taken any speed hit after moving on to ...

It is an incredibly detailed and complex undertaking, with numerous variables that are probably outside the ability of the average CMO player to figure out. Here is an article from Indonesia looking at the elements of selecting a landing site-

Given its prominence in the manual, I would imagine there is a visible effect, but it would be extremely difficult to discern its exact impact in a given engagement due to the presence of multiple other factors (aircraft type, weapon type, pilot proficiency, likelihood of weapon failure, etc ...

From the manual:

Temperature affects several sensors but primarily infrared ones. During the night, man-made and mechanical objects stand out more clearly against the background on infrared sensors. Conversely, during daytime (and particularly in hot climates) IR sensor range shrinks dramatically ...

The file is not appearing when I unzip it, and it seems to be because it is a .save file.

If you just open the scenario again without doing anything, and then save as a .scen file, you should be able to fix it without having to set up the whole thing again.

All of your issues depend on the platforms involved and the exact situation. Because of this it is usually recommended to post a save when asking for help with that kind of issue.

Just from what you wrote though, if the problem was solved by turning "engage ambiguous targets" turned on, that ...

You can, but be aware that all edits will be lost once the aircraft returns to base. Lua scripting would be required to continuously maintain edits without having to manually re-add them to every plane.

The only instance I have found where a big mission can be useful is in a very narrow type of land strike mission involving large numbers of an identical weapon against many different facilities.

Take a CJ-10 cruise missile strike on an air base 2,000 nautical miles away. So long as the WRA is ...

The mission doctrine will override the side doctrine. Not sure about unit doctrine, in my experience it can be finicky and sometimes I have to unassign a unit if I want to manually control it on a different setting from the mission it was originally on.

I don't think it matters for two reasons.

First, CMO's gunfire model is geared towards naval artillery duels rather than firefights with rifles and machine guns. I have experimented with the "rifleman" ground units (not facilities) and found it can be pretty silly trying to make them fight in an ...

In case anyone is interested, I recently made some Import/Export files based on Jaidev's mapping of Chinese facilities in 2023, for the SAMs and radars of the Eastern Theater Command. https://forums.matrixgames.com/viewtopic.php?p=5234802#p5234802

It appears the SAM file will need to be updated, as ...

FYI, the graphic does not come from the news source "confirming" the kill. It seems to be from an entirely separate OSINT group. The confirmation comes from Reuters journalists who claim to have interviewed both Pakistani and Indian officials. Some RUSI analysts weigh in, perhaps giving it some ...

Three files: PLA Eastern Theater Command AD, PLA Eastern Theater Command EW-ECM, and PLA Eastern Theater Command airfields (Ground Force, Navy, and Air Force) as single-unit airfields as of 2025. The PLA Eastern Theater Command is the unified combatant command that would have primary responsibility ...

I have gotten a reply. The required "setup file" is indeed the installer for the entire game. This is a tad unfortunate as the size of the file is 22 some gb: over twice the size of the actual update itself.

A saving grace is that there shouldn't be any need to uninstall the game, because the ...

Thanks for the replies.

I tend to use active sonars on ships a lot. Yes they do give away position, but for a ship (not a sub) I consider this a positive. It is essentially a message "better stay away lest that you get sunk". Am I wrong?


I think that would depend on the mission of the ship(s ...

It would be interesting to know, is there any particular sort of aircraft you are using that you feel require this information to use more efficiently?

Agility is not going to be much of a factor in very modern (1970s+) air-to-air combat. Destruction is done with missiles and defense is done with ...

I got the same issue and contacted Slitherine support. They are saying that the setup file (in addition to the update file) for 1674 is required for this update. In the my page section of the Matrix website, the only file that looks like that is the actual download to install the entire game ...

I've never noticed that, usually if I set a fighter jet to cruise speed it will tell me the desired speed is 480 knots no matter what altitude. In that aforementioned scenario involving the F-2s I did notice F-35s flying at 470 knots while at very, very high altitude (I had them cruise at max: 16 ...
