Nice AAR as usual. Sorry to see crashes spoil the rest. However I had a laugh at my own expense as I kept reading Baby ICE as Baby Spice.

Is this necessarily an issue? What is the unit involved? The loadout should contain a buffer and the range should be enough to account for a round trip back to base even with some stores still aboard without the maximum possible range buff from expending all stores and the weight/drag reduction.

Speaking of UAVs, I was surprised to learn recently that the first use of UAVs was the Ryan Model 147 Lightning Bug during the Vietnam War.

Ryan Model 147

The United States Naval Institute Press recently published a book by David Axe on the topic.

Drone War Vietnam

I know that this is ...

My typical set up in this area are to create various ASW patrol missions covering sectors. The patrol station is usually set on 2 RPs linked to the convoy and the escort moving at a speed where they do not reach the end RP under normal steaming. The escort can move to investigate and engage contacts ...

The probe is a new install that has first appeared during Epic Fury.

As you can see from.the screenshot it attaches over the boom port so when fixed the aircraft cannot use a boom. Not something in the db yet to my knowledge and would probably be entered as an "Epic Fury Mod" like some of the ...

Yes, stealth works but it's not a magic bullet. It requires use in context and support.

Be aware that many old radars or newer "anti-stealth" radars with long wavelengths work well against LO and VLO aerial targets.

And question, was your F-117 supported in the same way as the actual Nighthawk ...

Aside from that fact that I hate the concept, I'd be very surprised if this actually gets built:

-The time needed to secure funding, prepare the shipyard and complete the design, means it would likely bleed into the next administration, who will almost certainly cancel this monstrosity.

-Even ...

I'm of a similar option as Ryan from Battleship New Jersey. The USN has been looking for a true successor to Long Beach as a large surface cimbatsnt since the 70s with the Strike Cruiser, then Cruiser Baseline, CG21, CGX...

I think the brass beefed up the concept, added some equipment thst would ...

Pinching myself to make sure I'm awake and lamenting that my availability does not permit me to participate.

Ordering my copy when I get home and can access the right Amazon account

I would check the new release update change log but I believe this sets the distance to which the unit will react to a potential threat. So how close you'll let someone get.

On the page above you need to scroll down to the downloads and choose [PC][64-bit] Update v1.09.1825.15 Mar 31, 2026.

Go to the downloads sections on Matrix cmo page. It's the newest dated download.

Open website button on installer will take you right there.

I don't think there are any FPV drones yet but there are OWA drones like the ubiquitous Shahed series implemented along with similar USV and UUV craft.

Excited

If I recall correctly nuclear weapons ate the only ones that will actually accept a single unit airfield as a target.

Some items for recent DB updates

The main factor is the contrail left by the aircraft. If you lower its altitude to 32,000 ft, it leaves no contrail and the tank never detects it. Very well simulated/represented by cmano here. Although I also wonder if a tank's camera can point that high.

I think a T-90s camera at ...
