Thanks. It would definitely be useful to be able to prioritise units hitting occupied revetments etc.

Just had another playthrough. Managed to get a score of over 2000. Lost quote a few aircraft when the Egyptian Airforce recovered from the initial strikes and got a ton of fighters into the air.

Awesome. Thanks Mark352. Good to know.

One thing I'm not too sure about, I do my recce work on a couple of airfields to the west. After this I update the target list for my strikes to hit the occupied revetments. But, these flights are already planned and sometimes in the air. To add these new targets do I need to regenerate the flight ...

Thanks Eboreg. I'll post a copy of my mission file once I've managed to pass the mission. I'm currently working out my individual strikes. Using the Magisters to hit targets on the airfields, with them using Opportunity Scramble is working well as they suppress the AAA and hit targets with their ...

Ah yes! I had missed that. I'm going to set some units to 'opportunity scrambling' so they engage AA on their route to and from target. Helps to suppress some of the pesky AAA.

Very odd. I just got 20 points for attacking a 47mm Quad and 57mm S60. I have my aircraft set to not engage opportunity targets, but one of them did.

Thanks Nikel. That's not too far off what I have assigned to attack Luxor.

Thanks again for the info. Very much appreciated.

Just want to check, I'm creating flights for each strike. But looking at the aircraft I have, many have a relatively short range, which appears as a 'strike radius' warning when I plan flight.

This leaves me with very few aircraft that can hit the long distance targets, like Cairo West and Luxor ...

This is really useful! Thank you.

Yes, I was wondering myself if the original results could be replicated.

Thanks.
Although I haven't managed to pass the mission, I'm replaying it to see if I can just about get there with all raids automated. Someone on Reddit recommended treating CMANO as a sandbox, where you can test different approaches. I'm very much enjoying learning about the aircraft capabilities ...

Yeah, it is really high. You need to do two sets of strikes, which kind of defeats the strike hard, strike fast ethos of the mission. Otherwise you don't have quite enough aircraft to hit every parked aircraft.

May have to do that.

Yeah, I don't get that either. I thought of trying to lead any ...

That's the one.

Haven't counted but my initial playthrough showed that the aircraft were hitting more of the assigned targets.

Ah cool. One weapon per target has worked. Thank you

It has felt like months
But enjoyable all around.

Thank you for the links. Will check them out.

Hi everyone,

I've been playing the Shifting Sands scenario Hit Hard Hit Fast for a few months now. I've enjoyed working out the capabilities of the various aircraft, in particular their ranges, and using this to plan the strikes. But I still can't hit the required score to pass the mission.

So far ...

Awesome. Thank you again and very much appreciated.

Thanks again.

Could you just do a little run down of the process you followed to set up the mission please? Just so I can work out where I'm going wrong. Just took at a look at the setup in the file you provided above, which works perfectly but there's no ROE info for the units.

Fantastic! Thanks Nikel

Hi there,

I'm currently trying to get a pair of seaborne units to hit a land target at a specific time within the mission Iron Hand. I am trying to get both units to strike the Command Bunker at the same time.

It's been really frustrating. I've tested various methods and have finally got the units ...

Checked again. Your recommendation sorted the issue. Thanks again.
