I wonder if someone might do me a favour and set up a test scenario that pits S-300V (SA-12) against the Kh-22 (AS-4). Run it a few times and let me know how often the S-300V is successful in shooting down the Kh-22.

Hello, I am creating a new scenario and I have the next question? Does an aircraft flies longer if it flies higher? For example, I have an aircraft with... Low level, cruise speed: 300 knots. High level, cruise speed: 400 knots. Does it spend the same level of fuel flying at different speeds so it can flies longer flying at high level?

While looking at another issue it has become apparent that in a situation where a group has more than one unit that is capable of catering for aircraft, aircraft units launching from the group might have their home base changed for no apparent benefit during group split and join operations resulting in the unit RTB to a different base unit from where it tool off. Is this good/bad indifferent?

THis scenario escaped my eye (I was on extended shore leave )

View File Taiwan Blockade Scenario Background: In August 2023 it was announced that RAAF Tindal would be upgraded to host USAF B-52 bombers. The AUKUS agreement from 2021 is to result in RAN obtaining US SSN attack submarines and announced 2023 upgraded maritime patrol aircraft capability will bring upgraded P-8A Poseidon and MQ-4C Triton. Much of the reason for these expenditures are the tension caused by the Peoples Republic of China's policy of reunification with Taiwan (Republic of China) and a desire for an Australian reach into the general South China Sea and Taiwan region. It's june 2024, Australia and Taiwan join to seek…

This is sort of scenario design question, sort of Battleset design question, but as there is no Battleset sub forum I'll bung it here. What do people think of the concept of having the names of major islands, island groups and seas included on HC texture map for a battleset . Here is a sample of the sort of thing I'm thinking of: This is something I did while playing with the HC map to include more of the islands of the south west pacific for my pacific islands battleset. My thought with the name text is to allow reference in orders to seas, oceans and islands, eg patrol the Banda Sea

View File ASROC Action A scenario to be played by either red or blue. There are two conflict areas, one is red surface groups hunting blue sub groups, the other is red sub hunting blue surface convoy.
