AAR DB2000 "Blue and Gold" (small)

[Motomouse]

After nearly a decade without Harpoon i decided to come back (Matrix please stop releasing my old time favourites![;)])

scenario: Blue and Gold

1. January 2001, Zulu Sea, Pacific Ocean (Size/Duration small)

Mission: Sink the enemy sub tender, beware of the enemy sub activity

I had a blast with this scenario. The first time out I lost very quickly my 3 assigned subs. Second time around I will stick to a much more cautious plan.

While creeping south towards the designated mission area our vessel Columbia received a faint sonar contact at 1:10 on bearing 193. The contact seemed to move with 5 knots on course 256. Columbia immediatly stopped their engines and came to a halt.

At 2:11 the updated contact was identified as a hostile San Juan class sub with high confidence. The sub was much nearer than anticipated. In fact it was already in Columbias weapons range and a torpedo was launched at depth level 300 as a quick response. Seconds later a incomming torpedo warning was given, but the two hostile warheads were quite off course. No danger this time.

Our torpedos missed the enemy and Columbia launched 2 further torpedos at depth 150. And again a little later a pair of hostile warheads passed east of our position only to be followed by an hefty explosion shortly after. This time our attack had suceeded and the San Juan had gotten no third chance to respond to our threat.

Michael, thanks for your work on the scenario(s). I only played this one yet. I like the ambient settings.

In this scenario, it's pretty safe to say so long as you don't keep a single track for too long and never really get up about 8 knots (in the Seawolf, I kept the LAs at 5kts throughout since they seemed to have goddamned BULLSEYES on them at 10kts), you're golden unless someone farts or drops change.
