Check your mission logic and emcon settings on ROE.

Patrol missions typically have an active setting. You can change this by going into the mission editor, select the mission on the left and pressing the Mission Doctorine/Roe/Emcon button, select the EMCON setting tab and adjust (uncheck the inherit).

Right. I did that (I think). I unchecked inherit and set to passive. Somewhere along the way the group went active (to fire a defensive weapon perhaps?) Anyway, it's a minor point but it would be a nice improvement (to a game that's pretty perfect as it is!) [:)]

Keeping notes on this stuff as I come across it and documenting so we'll definitely take a look.

Thanks for your input!

Stay close to the coast, and don't use radar too much. Your boats have relatively small visual signatures which helps a lot.

Ah. Good point. I think the default EMCON for Norway is active for this scenario.

I'm having to remind myself, before ever starting any new scenario, to check the Side ROE & EMCON setting. Then set everything to Passive, to start. The scenarios seem to have different start settings here so it's #1 on the checklist.

I'd prefer having the Side EMCON set to Passive by default, for a human player's side.

So in general, is Norway pretty much doomed in First Contract 1986? Should I expect any of my ships to survive? I've played from the USSR side and it's a cake walk for them [:)]

Radar use:

2 or 3 sweeps of your surface search radar, then use ref points to add a reference point on top of every contact (you may have to pause the game to do this). Scoot to a new location (you don't want them finding you), then same again and plot the contacts using the reference points. Now you may have an MLA, at which point you can start planning your approach and attacks.

Quick question on Jamming. In the 'North Pacific Shootout' scenario, my EA-6Bs on an OECM patrol had a big red JAM, over them - does that mean that they are being jammed or are actively Jamming?

Thanks

They're jamming.

How do I know one of my platforms is being jammed? Any indicators?
Cheers,

When one of your platforms is being effected by Jamming it will have a Jammed indicator by it.

Thank you!
