Matrix Games Forums

Howdy All,

Just trying out the demo and deciding which version (ANW versus CE) to eventually obtain. It's great to see this classic game alive and well in several versions. Seeing as this is the ANW forum, I just had two quick questions which I did not find searching the archives:

Are the USNI battlesets available in the commercial version that can be purchased, or is that a special deal through the institute only?

For the USNI battlesets, especially the Horn of Africa scenario, it seems the NETFIRE (either loiter or direct-attack) missiles embarked on the LCS seem pretty useless. In direct attack against surface or land targets, the missiles just keep flying past the target, even though I'm illuminating from the launch platform. Really bizarre; hopefully they're not as useless in the full game or am I missing something?

Thanks!

AFAIK, the USNI battleset found in the ANW Demo is not included with the normal game.

However, I simply copied the USNI folder from the Demo installation over to my regular ANW game installation v3.9.3 without any problem and am able to play those scenarios.

I didn't notice any problems with the NETFIRE weapon the last time I played that scenario.

If you want to try out an MP session of the game, just let me know and something can be arranged.

This game-killing problem has not been fixed in Patch 3.9.4
