Re: EMCOM in Warships

In the gulf of Aden? You're probably already spotted, turn your radars on so you can see what's coming to kill you.

In general, if you're stronger, radiate. If you're weaker, keep quiet.

To use an analogy:

If you're hunting with a rifle at night and you have a flashlight, you can shine your ...

Re: How to prevent enemy planes from taking off from the airfield?




The first question is: In what timeframe is your scenario? In the Coldwar NATO and the WP had units to repair damages. But probably Brazil did not.
Nowadays many airforces in Europe discarded these capabilities and it is unclear who can do what.



That is very true but the capability is ...

Re: OECM in an Anti-Scouting Role?

I use ECM against recon aircraft all the time.

I know the scripting isn't that smart but if I am emitting I try to have only one asset use one radar that's a common type. If I light off a SPS-39 you know there is a warship out there, but that radar type could be on anything from a carrier to a ...

Background for a plausible Turkey/Sov clash: The Soviets have been funding/are accused by Turkey of funding Kurdish terrorist groups, who have recently pulled off a successful attack.

If Turkey attacks the Soviet Union then I don't think that article 5 is invokable, leaving you with a Turkey/SU ...

Re: How to set up an effective AAW patrol mission?

The radar that was shoehorned into the F4 early models had a lot of limitations, no look down mode being only one of them. Use F4s more like you would Mig21s - GCI using radar from other assets is how you're going to be most effective

Re: Newbie question sprint and drift

A couple of potential things might be going on.
1) Sprint & drift applies only the ship that's selected when you're using formation editor, not the whole formation.
2) If the speed is too high there won't be any time to drift.
3) For individual ships, you need to have a speed selected for the ...

Several of the Soviet/Russian big ASMs have DECM jammers built in and are modeled. If you look at the weapons endgame messages you'll see the DECM in action when trying to shoot them down.

Formation Editor?

How do I invoke the new formations that are available now?

I've looked at the 3.3.5 Formation Editor section in the manual and it was not helpful.

I see the dropdown for the formation types but when I select it the ships don't get updated stations.

Re: BVR Engagement Logic & Boost-Coast missiles

Does launch speed and altitude factor into missile range calculation?

If I launch from max speed and height do I get an advantage?

Confused by ABM defense

I am playing To Kill the Queen (USN vs PLAN) and hey are shooting at me with ASBMs, which I kind of expected and I have SAMs for. But the SAM behavior is pretty wonky, with SM6s firing off in all kinds of directions and leakers getting through and killing ships.

Re: Aircraft loses loadout after Ferry mission


That is from the scenario attached by HalfLifeExpert.

OK
My guess this is not LOST on landing, but rather some error happens after the ammunition sent into the storage first then take out. (Probably some formula error on one of the program line? :lol: )

Will do more testing later.

Re: Aircraft loses loadout after Ferry mission

I'm not on the beta but I've done forward deployments like you describe before and you're correct. If aircraft haven't expended any ordnance then they should still have whatever they flew in with available after the refuel and the pilot takes a whiz.

Re: Aircraft Damage Points

I've also had aircraft damaged by marginal hits that didn't take them out immediately. Some even survived to make it back to base and the repair time is added to the rearming cycle as well.
I've also seen enemy aircraft require multiple hits to take down, particularly from smaller missiles or guns ...

That's a great question. Was there any play testing of the scenario before it was released?

There are some real problems that play tests would have exposed, if they had been done.
