RE: Fire at a grid location?

<t> Thanks for the info. I'll need to try your more realistic scenarios.<br/>
<br/>
I was able to use nuclear SUBROCs against surface targets which is not really an on-label use, but I suppose the game doesn't make fine distinctions between a surface ship and a surfaced sub. They worked in the ...

RE: Fire at a grid location?

<t> Agreed, I think it's legit and probably realistic to be able to fire on coordinates- I was also more thinking of the priority for the devs to address it.<br/>
<br/>
I also looked up TLAM and GPS; this scenario is in 1985 so all you get is INS. Later on, for what it's worth I found another ...

RE: Fire at a grid location?

<r> The TLAM-N doesn't have BOL capability. It does have "TERCOM Navigation" but I presume that just means that I can assign waypoints to its flight path but can't necessarily specify a target by coordinates.<br/>
<br/>
It also only lists land contacts and structures, runways, and mobile targets ...

Fire at a grid location?

<t> Is there a way to launch appropriately-guided weapons at a grid location? I was playing the "Boston Guards the Denmark Strait" scenario where you have nuclear release and four TLAM-Ns on board. I knew where the bad guy convoy was so I wanted to just fire at that location trusting 200kT of ...

RE: Game speed and pause/unpause keys often lose focus

<r> That's what I do as well now. I've also seen some kind of focus issue with popup event messages- I have to click close several times to get it to register. I suppose the OS is treating the window as a totally separate element so I have to click once to focus it, with the click not making it ...

[Logged] Game speed and pause/unpause keys often lose focus

<t> I've noticed that very often popup menus or the right-side status/orders bar are stealing the space, enter, and +/- keys. This usually results in me making some change, waiting a bit, and flailing away on the space bar while something I wanted to pause and deal with goes whizzing by. I see how ...

RE: No message log

If you switch to raw text logs do you see your messages? I've noticed that after playing one scenario the new interactive log stops updating but the raw log keeps working.

Can't hail from diplomacy screen?

<t>In my latest game I'm unable to contact any of my opponents using the diplomacy screen; the 'Hail $ENEMY Homeworld' button is always gray. I can talk to them if I send a ship to their planet, but I don't want to have a ship just sitting around like that.<br/>

It looks like Benson, Sims, and Farragut class DDs are broken, and all the rest are OK (Fletcher, Gridley, Bristol, Benham, Mahan, Porter).

It's 10/29/42.

Too many guns on some ships

<t>I'm seeing some weird weapons patterns on some of my DDs; they're listed as having 0 or 2 20mms on one side and 14 or 16 on the other. While I like those nice AA barges I suspect something's not quite right.<br/>
