Full realism mode like Harpoon

Post by invernomuto »

Is there a way in CMANO to simulate the "FULL REALISM MODE" like in Harpoon 3? I need to avoid that some of my units share infomations with others, expecially subs.
I'm working on a scenario where four sub try to avoid a NATO ASW group. I'm planning to make one side with the four subs and the other with the ASW TF group. Is there a way to avoid that my subs share infos on contacts while submerged?

Thanks in advance,
bye

Place them on a different side and make sure the two sides consider each other neutral.

I was thinking about creating one side for each sub.
However, why not friendly to each other?
Do they share infos if friendly?

Thanks!

I think the way it works is that a side shares information with and cannot deliberately fire on any other side it considers friendly. You can have one side see the other side as friendly, but other side sees it as neutral, etc. Lots of interesting combinations available with Command, especially with the extra "Unfriendly" posture available.

So the way I think it works is that mutually friendly sides will share information but cannot give each other orders; mutually neutral sides will be invisible to each other, at least initially.

So if the subs are all friendly to each other, they will know they are out there and will not fire one each other but cannot control what the others are doing...so you could see a friendly sub blunder into danger, but could not do anything about it.

If you want the possibility of an accidental "blue on blue" event, make them all neutral to each other.

Another idea that might have interesting results...make it a "ring." Each sub is friendly to ONE of the other subs, but neutral to the other three, and none are mutually friendly. :)

Anyway, just some thoughts.

Since Command isn't the quasi-abandonware Harpoon was, I guess eventually some sort of more sophisticated comns model will be made with subs being (optionally) out of contact

Btw what would happen if I put each sub on a seperate side, neutral to each other with some sort of "sub command" side friendly to them? Would this mean they get the sensor data from that side without sharing data with each other?
