Re: Intresting discussion on Chinese DF carrier killers. Thoughts?

Interesting conversation. I haven't tried to use them in CMO, but I did read https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/1915070643?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details . What the author of the linked book said made sense to me, you don't advertize a missile's (in the case of the DF-26) existence to the world ...

Re: 1328.5 Flight Tutorial 7 AAW 5 - AEW Not Classifying Contacts

Please go ahead and close this. Guess I should have seen the need to manually mark contacts, I concede that the Schmel seems to be working correctly, and I'm not sure if the Mainstay's ESM should classify either. The altitude thing (mentioned in previous post) is neither here nor there, it's not ...

Zip file is corrupt according to windows and winrar.

edit...so you just changed a save file to a zip file by changing the extension? If you're going to do that, you should mention it.

[WAD] 1328.5 Flight Tutorial 7 AAW 5 - AEW Not Classifying Contacts

As above - this is the 'Russian and Chinese Warplanes' tutorial, as run during current open beta (1328.5). AEW collects sensor data, but does not classify (either as hostile or as specific type) any contacts based on emissions or radar returns. This only occurs once unit has eyes on (ie Mk 1 eyeball ...

Re: Command Open ATO Open Beta v1.05.1328.4 - STEAM ONLY


It seems that Matrix buyers' money is worth less than Steam buyers' money.

And no, switching to Steam for free is not my solution.


The free Steam key Slitherine offers Matrix owners means they get access to everything a Steam owner receives, plus the option of an alternative DRM, so if ...

Re: Wanted - Reading on Submarine Tactics



Submarine warfare is a bit of an art, so there's not a whole lot out there (that's not classified :D ) to work off of, especially since there's been very little submarine combat since 1945, and only a single (confirmed) instance of a "Modern" submarine kill (one sub kills another while both are ...

Re: Wanted - Reading on Submarine Tactics


I've taken the liberty of cutting out from the Dangerous Waters and 688i PDF manuals (which have hundreds of pages) and give you just the sections on how sonar and such works.

Some of the text will of course be specific to those sims, but you can read between the lines as lot of the principles ...

I'm not aware of any particular texts, but you may want to refer to the manuals of Submarine simulators like 688i Hunter/Killer and Dangerous Waters as possible sources. If you want I'll see if I can track down any PDF sources of them if you don't have those games ...

Wanted - Reading on Submarine Tactics

I was wondering if anyone here can recommend reading on submarine tactics. I'm particularly interested in search and evasion techniques, and if it's available, information on how to combine or move between them, for situations where one might be trying to evade ASW assets while seeking a particular ...

Enemy commander (=scen author) expects you to take shortest route and fall a trap. DO NOT DO WHAT HE WANTS YOU TO DO.

Re: Surface Warfare Tutorial 1.3 - Events Not Triggering




Do you have a save? The only aircraft I see in tutorial 1.3 is an allied Bear. There should be no need to detect it, it should already be sharing its position with you.


I reran it in Release branch (ie non-beta) and it identified the aircraft as hostile and triggered a further event ...

Re: Review and Editing of Unit Descriptions

PL-15: "The missile's length (5.8 meters) means it can't be carried internally by the Chengdu J-20 "stealth" fighter." I think this statement may be incorrect. It contradicts its inclusion in the "Internal Long-Range" and "Standard Intercept" loadout information for the J-20. Below are links to ...
