You plot for each group of weapons from each source.

If you have 32 TLAMS going to one target from one source - you do one plot.

If you have several platforms engaging several targets you do more plotting - but by paying attention to the terrain you can have the weapons use different valleys and therefore increase your chance to miss undetected SAMs, increasing weapon survivability.

It may be a nuance but I don't call this micromanaging, I call it planning. Once they are fired you don't mess with them again. To me, micromanaging is constantly going back and forth between units to adjust thier course/alt etc.

Time spent in planning is seldom waisted, time spent micromanaging assets often bumps them from one problem into another.

Well, talk about missing the obvius here

Now I'm remembering that one time I plotted the course for like a hundred missiles one by one and wanting to bang my head against the wall.

Like a hundred times.

Thanks for the tip

Gunner thanks for the tip. I was single weapon plotting myself! TOOOOOOO much to learn with this game! [:D]

Once you get the hang of it, no issues but it takes some getting used to:

• Select firing unit
• Click Shift + F1
• Select target(s)
• Weapon Allocation window pops up
1. Select a ‘selectable target’ (bottom left)
2. Assign weapons (middle)
3. Click on weapons (bottom right)
4. Click on ‘Plot course

Have your relief layer on, zoom in and plot your course. Different weapons have different numbers of programmable whey points, TLAM is 10 I think. The program will tell you if you will exceed range. When your done hit escape and you will go back to the weapon allocation screen.

I think that Syria does not have combat-ready SA-2s and parts of SA-3. All should be checked on satellite photos.

Thank you. After you pointed it out I tried it and ran some TLAM missions up the Bekaa Valley. Lot better than plotting each individually! [:D]

Hey guys,

Trying to play this scenario, but it won't load.
Keep getting an error window saying, "Object reference not set to an instance of an object"
Never seen this before. Any ideas?
