<t> I don't know if a carrier ever deployed with fewer than 2 fighter squadrons. It was often a mix of fighter types (F-8 & F-4 / F-4 & F-14 / F-14 & F/A-18), but I've never seen mention of a historic airwing with only a single fighter squadron - and once the F/A-18 arrived, you started seeing VA ...

<t> SeaQueen - your numbers mimic roughly I found in my testing, except for the part about only have 10 fighters. Give the carrier 2 squadrons like I did (which I believe would be more realistic - even before you consider the high possibility of multiple carriers working together), and a lot of the ...

<t> I was running some tests to see how the F-14 compares to the F/A-18 in the traditional fleet defense interceptor role, but I stumbled on what appear to be a bigger question - was the Soviet bomber force actually a viable weapon against carriers?<br/>
<br/>
It appears that a semi-competently ...

Because maritime targets move, and land ones do not! The modern variants of Tomahawk do not have seeker heads able to strike mobile targets<br/>

The Tomahawk has had many variants over the years and in the past the USN did have a ...

<t> One easy addition I would like to see made is a "min altitude when evading" doctrine setting. A few times I've had planes attempt to evade a fairly non-threatening radar SAM by diving down into a mess of extremely dangerous IR SAMs and AAA. And setting min altitudes is a very common real-world ...

<t> There doesn't appear to be much interest, but I'll add some of my findings in case someone finds it useful.<br/>
<br/>
I've used the editor to add some notional USV's to existing scenarios. These USV's included a magazine ship (commercial supply vessel with 32x VLS), an AAW sensor platform ...

So with all the talk about unmanned warships and the USN's purchase of some prototypes, I was wondering if anyone had done any testing in CMO/CMANO of some of the ideas being discussed? And if you have what are your conclusions?

<t> So I finally upgraded from CMANO, but I have some questions about customizing the GUI.<br/>
<br/>
First, is it possible to get a "light" rather than "dark" look?<br/>
<br/>
Second, is it possible to get a log similar to CMANO, where it is just text on screen without the background frame or ...

<t> There are a lot of scenarios out there about defending Eastern Europe from Russian aggression. However, I've been exploring the opposite - defending Russia from NATO aggression.<br/>

This scenario is the first of what I'm planning as a short campaign exploring the actual balance of power ...

I have 1009.31.2 with Database 478.

For the public release of CMANO those are the most recent updates so, you are good.

Thanks!

I know everyone is excited about CMO, but I'm still running CMANO for now (i'll probably upgrade before the discount expires) and I'm wondering what the last build was? I have 1009.31.2 with Database 478.

<t> An interesting and extremely detailed scenario (I really enjoyed the twist with the B61 "modernization").<br/>
<br/>
However, I found it to be too easy where it mattered and too difficult where it didn't.<br/>

Before going further, I should say that I didn't play your scenario exactly ...

Could you elaborate on what "directional display mode" is for the ship icons? If you play with the NTDS-style icons, so will ship sizes still be shown when you zoom in sufficiently?

This is an interesting point. Perhaps I should make it a "special action" to have things turn hot? I think the problem is that JUST intercepting the cargo ship is far too easy. Even with old Soviet weapons bolted to the hull so the freighter ...
