Operation Rite of Passage [beta version for testing]

[Knightpawn]

I think you did not comment on some tankers moving just outside the demining zone or bad pathfinding, one of them was hit.

Also on the passivity of the Iranians and their low expenditures.

And the 2 structures that appear by event, did not fire.


Cannot comment on the changes in v.92, because did not try it. I will wait for the next, with reduced time, hopefully


A few hours for the purging. 2 days maximum for all the scenario.

If all goes well, the scenario should end when one of the tankers of the 3rd convoy arrives to a destination zone you chose. OK if you do not want to give more points, but it is fun

I think Correcaminos put more demining drones in his scenario

Abadar Abass was red in v0.90, what have you changed so it is yellow in v0.91?


I have a save previous to the swarm, I will try marking the buildings as neutral.

Edit: yes, that works.

- I don't believe i can fully control the movement of each tanker-member of the group. Let's say that a captain or two slighted deviated from the recommended path
- two structures: The scrip supposedly deploys BMs or drones at a specifiied time if the structure remains 'alive' at that time. I will check the behavior myself as well.
- Passivity: As I said this scenario, began as an effort to understand what does it mean to 'open' hormuz. With all airforce and bigger ships destroyed, I dont see how Iran can demonstrate any activity unless a opportunity presents to do damage to traversing ships. I have allowed for ASMB strikes. All else however would divert from the core concept.
- Duration: I will implement the end you suggest. Good idea.
- Duration(2): did you manage to identify threats on Qeshm island below the low cloud base in a few hours only?
- Bandar Abbas was a Singly - Unit port before. Now it is a composite base ( i was playing around). I dont know why the yellow.

- You cannot control de tankers moving a bit beyond the margins of the demining zone. But you can increase (wider) a little the demining zone.

- Then I guess it was destroyed whatever was located near those 2 sites before they could fire

- Qeshm island. I guess all the threats were detected and destroyed. But not sure, the U-2S and F-35s flied above several times.

[Knightpawn]

If detection works so well in reality, then what is holding back CENTCOM from opening the Straits, say this afternoon?

[Nikel]

Because they do not know the surprises the IRGC may have prepared

And of course because propaganda makes enemy losses small and your own losses big, or so they try... SO better to be as sure as you can.

I will do a test run with Advanced terrain effects on, to see if it makes any difference

[Nikel]

The devs said that option affected the performance of the game.

Let's see if you notice it

New version 0.95 in the original post

[Nikel]

0.95 tested

Major defeat -250 points.

Again a defeat, in this case due to an impact of a mine on a tanker and the sinking of one of my destroyers by a Ghadir sub




Problems, suggestions and report.



- Nature is a selectable side.

. Last line of briefing missing something:

"Mitigation: 24/7 MQ-9 surveillance. MH-53E sweeps before each transit. Aggressive interdiction of approaching craft. Continuous MCM posture th"

- Did not notice any change with advanced terrain ON?

- Cleaners group? A more martial name is recommended for the US Navy

- The subs were indeed more active this time and sunk one of the destroyers.

- A suggestion for the tankers, column formation. They will advance one after the other. Seems logical in a mined zone and and will avoid the tendency to advance in the margins of the mined zone.

- Add one destroyer for the Tripoli group, remove one from the demining group.

- The 3rd convoy arrived when there were 11 hours left.
