North Pacific Shootout on the Harpoon for Dummies Youtube Channel

Post by Mgellis »

Uh oh...

Herman Hum has offered his take on "North Pacific Shootout." Here it is...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a85eolvp ... LE&index=6

I have to admit, I found this video more amusing than anything else. Herman spends a fair amount of time complaining bitterly about how cluttered Command is, how things are usually done wrong in Command, how the AI in Command is the source of all evil and tragedy in the universe, how the scenario editor is obviously plotting against us all, and so on.

At the same time, Herman does actually praise Command for a few things, and his treatment of the scenario has lots of interesting tidbits. People may find it worth a look.

Maybe it is a personal taste but I don't like scenarios that consists largely of two lines of CAP fighters killing each other.
Naval strategy shouldn't be about microing air combat all the time.
Air combat should occur for a reason (intercepting strike, conducting own strike), not because two CAP missions try to fly in the same airspace.
Same goes for "Tiger and Dragon". This scen would be ten times cooler if the ranges were three times longer.
