Defend Luzon 2028

[blu3s]

Defend Luzon v023 (BETA)

Changed
- Scenario results reworked. What ends the scenario says who achieved their objective; the winner's own losses decide whether the win is Strategic or Tactical:
- RED operation broken (C2 Center sunk, amphibious group withdrawing, or 2 or fewer amphibious ships left): Blue Strategic or Tactical Win depending on BLUE losses. If BLUE paid too high a price, it is a Blue and Red Tactical or Strategic Loss. It is never a Red win.
- BLUE collapse (over 75% of BLUE aircraft lost, or heavy BLUE losses) with the RED operation intact: Red Strategic or Tactical Win depending on RED air and naval losses.
- Amphibious landing: Red Strategic Win (unchanged).
- Time limit reached with the RED operation intact and BLUE still standing: Blue Tactical Win (was Blue Strategic Win).
- BLUE losses are now graded on the real share of air and land forces lost. Before, mid-size forces (10-100 points) could never drop below the Strategic grade, however much they lost. Expect fewer Blue Strategic Wins: losing over 75% of your air or land forces now makes it a Tactical Win, and losing both makes it a Blue and Red Tactical Loss.
- RED suicide drones tweaks
- RED landing ships now count in the score and RED losses: Type 071 LPD 15 points, Type 072A LST 6 points (both were 0).
- HUMINT capability now makes the HUMINT advisory about the disguised PLA collectors more likely. Before, it made it less likely, and in practice it never applied because the roll happened before BLUE bought anything.

Fixed
- Lua exception at scenario setup ('attempt to index a nil value (field NKE)') in about half of the games. When it happened, the biological sea contacts and the collector detection trigger were not created.
- Losing the last AAW escort could fail to make the amphibious group withdraw until another escort was lost.
- Ending the scenario with exactly 2 amphibious ships left was not counted as a RED defeat.
- RED surface action group strikes skipped some ships when assigning them.
- Duplicate "EndScenarioRed" event errors when RED lost several amphibious ships.
- Lua console errors for contacts RED has lost during its 15-minute evaluation.
- Lost contacts came back in RED's contact list after save/reload.
- Blue Strategic Win with almost no RED losses (e.g. one corvette and one landing ship sunk). A game ended by the time limit or by BLUE losing over 75% of its aircraft was scored as a Blue Strategic Win. Now it is a Blue Tactical Win or a Red win (see Changed).
- Scenario time limit was 102 hours after setup instead of 47h55m.
- Suicide drones launched as soon as they received their targets (since v022). They are timed again to arrive shortly before the landing, as a single wave with no follow-up attacks, and launch right away only if they could not reach their targets in time.

Thanks again for the new version


Now I cannot get the strategic victory window with these Red side losses (20 ships), and minimal Blue side losses.

And the subs are out of torpedos, never happened before.

I updated the db so could be a change in the torpedo magazines.

Do you remember what special action did you try to execute?

I probably increase a bit the true difficulty for the level 3

[Nikel]

The Lua error happens at the beginning, when you select the difficulty.

Selected hard and 1000 $, if that matters.


My mistake, the CRAW is anti-sub and anti-torpedo only, cannot sink surface ships.

However is strange it is not used in defense vs the torpedos launched at them.

[Nikel]

Continued playing today with the last save.

Finally the strategic win window appeared with the losses listed below.

21 ships now, the new is a Zibo Destroyer, that sunk due to the damage already sustained, because could not attack anymore.

[Nikel]

The CRAW issue is a db one?

Can only be launched at 0 m, and so not used at all because the subs in the defensive maneuvers do not surface, I guess.

C.png (41.39 KiB) Viewed 206 times

When the sub is surfaced it works perfectly.

C.gif (3.69 MiB) Viewed 206 times

[blu3s]

Looks like a DB one, it shouldn't be able to launch only at 0m (maybe db guys place 0m to make it launch at any depth but I think that's not how it works for torpedos)

[Nikel]

Ok, thanks. I hope it is fixed in the next db


I did another test, fake. But perhaps with some useful data for you to improve the scenario.

In my previous tests the scenario ended in victory or because could not continue due to the slowdown after the out of comms attack.

But what happens after that?


No Blue side units selected. As this side has already buildings and airbases that may be attacked perhaps the test is OK after all.

The first try I had a CTD, lua related it seems, the SM windows before it appeared blank.

The second try I see the same error in the lua file, but this time the SMs were displayed correctly and no CTD happened, could continue.


The most strange thing is that when the message of the PLA have reached the beach, the scenario did not end, should it?

L.png (65.18 KiB) Viewed 161 times

After that there were still many hours left, only weather messages appeared until the scenario ended by time.



Attached is the Lua history file of this test with some errors, valid or not.

Mmm there should be a trigger about 40mins after that message, I'll check.

Thank you!
