Scenario Design & Discussion

Greetings, I'm attempting to build my first scenario (GCC without the US v. Iran) and I'd like to include a Qatar based AN/TPY-2 radar set. The only unit that I know in the game which possesses this particular set is the INTL SAM THAAD BTY, which unfortunately includes the launchers and a large complement of interceptors (since I'd like it to only be for surveillance, missiles are a hassle). So on to my questions. In order to strip the launchers (and the avenger platoon also) do I need to use the platform editor? Can I change missile counts there as well? I can't yet open the platform editor, apparently I need an update or patch. I tried downloading the c…

File Name: ECM-HARM exercise File Submitter: donaldseadog File Submitted: 8 Mar 2011 File Category: WestPac DB Used: HCDB-110225 Authors: Don Thomas Battleset-WPac: .scq - WPac - WestPac A development of my earlier ECM-SEAD scenario, here you have four aircraft that are HARM armament capable. For this bonus you pay with stiffer opposition. To save time you might like to use the attack helicopters on some of the easier SAM sites and the MRL unit on the primary target.

File Name: Operation Praying Mantis 1988, Hypothetical Scenario File Submitter: broncepulido File Submitted: 07 Jan 2012 File Category: Middle East Operation Praying Mantis 1988, All-Out Engagement. Note: This scenario is designed mostly to be played from the US/Blue and it's better to play that side in first place, and to play it later from the Iranian/Red side because it can be a little frustrating and boring, but the victory is also possible. Operation Praying Mantis was the Reagan administration answer to the Irani attacks on neutral tanker shipping and inmediate consequence of the mining deployed from the LST Iran Arj against the USS Samuel B.

The relationship between Singapore and Malaysia has never been particularly great, due in large part to historical sensitivities, some stemming from the time of their separation in 1965. Diplomatic level interventions by Australian in the 1980s (through the Five Power Defence Arrangement, or FPDA) helped to encourage better dialogue and cooperation, particularly in defence matters, but there remains an underlying friction between Singaporeans and Malays. Modern era difficulties include unresolved territorial and airspace disputes, customs and immigration issues, new cross-border bridges and railways, and the continued reliance of Singapore upon fresh water supplies from M…

The top post in this thread will consist of lists of vlow capable planes for each of the early (pre EC2003) battlesets which have their own built in database. The information has been gathered by trial and error, it may be incorrect. Please contribute (additions or corrections) by adding a post, someone will put the information into this top post. Note1: When testing plane units appear to need at least two aircraft, all single plane units appear to be vlow capable. Note2: Vlow capability doesn't seem to necessarily follow on to later battlesets. the list currently shows those planes found to be vlow capable. Mostly attack and fighter planes tested at the moment. …
