I'm poking fitfully at a campaign based around the Angolan Civil War, although I'm running into issues of scale - Most actions simply don't involve enough forces to make an interesting, challenging scenario. Command is also a little too lethal to do it properly, a 2v2 fighter combat tends to end in ...

Forgot to put this in here, but I was interested in the Pr.956U ships so I've stuck a DB request for them in: https://github.com/PygmalionOfCyprus/cm ... ssues/5342

Hopefully this will help you out.

I'm very impressed by you taking this one on, I've opened it a couple of times, futzed around with initial orders and closed it back down as "too big" but it looks like you're managing it in bitesize chunks instead of doing what I was trying to do and coordinating a divisional para drop and high ...

I think we're underestimating the value of the Italians, they have a large navy and air force almost immediately adjacent to Libya and, frankly, not a huge amount to do in any scenario where Yugoslavia remains neutral (which is any realistic one). Kormorans, Otomats and Whitehead torps may be able ...

Sounds like a good time, I might have to give this one a go myself. I think the TARPS run might have been a mistake though, if you're going to violate someone's airspace, go all in !

Standard auto-evade behaviour for missiles in CMO is to notch, dive to the deck and accelerate to max speed. Are you guys not seeing this? Or is this a question about gun fights?

It would be nice to have a database flag for NCTR-Oscilloscope Staring. I believe it works differently to JEM and relies more on the general size and shape of the return than on counting fan blades, as well as the strong link between proficiency and speed/possibility of acquisition and the fact that ...

MF#10 Notes

Briefing corrections:
First paragraph, ‘Persian Gulf in on or around’
First paragraph, Tulon > Toulon
The briefing says that I am to get a Paltus, the pumpjet Kilo, but the one I have is just a perfectly normal Kilo.

So, an interesting set up, especially for someone who is bad at ...

I actually had a bit of a look at Argentinian politics around 1994 and I think to have them be a reasonable threat even to the most paranoid Tory you're going to have to make big political changes. Carlos Menem is extremely popular (he's due to win the 1995 election by over twenty percentage points ...

A quick schematic one: Separate chaff dispensers and chaff cutters? Some chaff pods, and I believe only pods, are capable of cutting chaff to the ideal length to counter the specific threat system they are facing. Examples would include Sycomor pods on Iraqi Mirages and AN/ALE-38 and 41 pods used by ...

This scenario is insanely difficult, even with replaying, and the instructions the player is given significantly decrease the likelihood of your success.

The Seersucker batteries are, realistically, uncounterable before they have expended all of their ammunition - With a 110nmi range and the ...

The Soviets did have a naval base and military presence in Angola, so maybe that could make the South Atlantic a bit more interesting. But I don't think the South African government would approve of bombing Angola, and probably wouldn't allow South African forces to be used.

Honestly, I think ...

Those are fair points and some of them are very deliberate. On your last point, I agree that the whole scenario could do without anything - probably below the equator. A couple reasons I included it (which doesn't mean I won't consider your suggestion):
1) D had asked for scenarios to test the ...

Sorry - My bad once again.

Looking through your save file, there are about 25-30 subs left out there although it is pretty clear that you have cleansed your chosen route quite well. There are some that will move into that area (7-8) and some that you will probably never encounter.

Going through ...

Just noticed FrangibleCover asked me to check out the file. Have been away the past month or so and will take a look later today.

B

Did you get around to a look at the file? Or did anyone else?

My key questions are whether there are still submarines with missions to tackle my convoy routes ...

Buoy usage can get ridiculous even for Americans in the larger scenarios. My Longest Battle run is still on hiatus, but as of last count I had used 66,000 buoys and my usage was accelerating as more MPAs activated from reserve. I don't know how many of any given type of buoy have been produced, but ...

The felt difference between missing one time in every five engagements and a 80% chance of hitting is incredible. Human brains are extremely bad at statistics.

That should all be included in the database and the weapons modelling, right? If you can shoot them, shoot them.

The point that Command doesn't model about Shrike is that they use different seeker heads depending on the target, so for complete realism you should decide which radar band each Shrike ...

Checking the database, I was quoted a burn-time of just 16 seconds for the AMRAAM D 31.4 which, by my calculation, indicated that it would run out of fuel after some 11nm at altitude, which reflected what was happening. I later opened-up Hail Mary (Chains of War) and checked the same weapon, which ...

It's pretty tough, yeah. Without spoiling it exactly, I'll give a couple of tips:
- You really don't need those two Rb 15F aircraft.
- Patriots have a 120 degree field of regard, they can't shoot outside of it.
- Meteor beats AIM-120B, but AIM-120B beats IRIS-T. Keep your distance, but close in ...
