yes, I only use the actions/buttons (I didn't understood previously the idea!)

Also I think must be a recent error, only from circa June 2023.

I think basically export, very few times import to recover some few changes losed.

Regrettably not, apparently is a slow developing failure affecting slowly the magazines without any detecter pattern (thinking on patterns by months, with any result), and I'm not keeping my personal DB records "pure" before the failure, it probably happened some six months ago (also, aperceiving it and fighting against it my scenario develpment has slowed too).

thanks to everyone, at least was not my fault meddling with the DB! (Even reviewing on a very long day every one of the 1730 weapons entries, to find any code number error!).

Meddling with my personal modified DB, apparently many ships magazine have been translated from a ship to other, how can I correct it? I don't find in the platform editor any table with ships magazines, to see what is lacking. Thanks.

I remember "Unknow" is actually the active seeker.

Probably of great interest, history of the SQS-26 sonar by one of its designers. Thanks Bob Mack. https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/pdfs/ADA538018.pdf

Thanks!

Notes on some platforms: - Project 18280 Yuriy Ivanov-class maximum speed is 20 knots (and cruise speed 16), not 16 as usually stated. - For H I Sutton the Ukrainian kamikaze USVs speed is 43 knots. - Ship platform 3264 Suicide Boat is employed as Ukrainian USVs (but her maximum speed is only 30 knots).

A Harpoon Commander's Edition scenario for EC2003 Battle for the Mediterranean Battleset and the HCDB2-170909 (or later) 1980-2025 era Platform Database. This scenario is designed with Advanced Scenario Editor Build 2017.013 and to be run with HCE 2015.008+ or later. This scenario is designed to be played from the Blue/Ukrainian/NATO side or from the Red/Russian. You should play a few times first the Blue side to avoid spoilers, and only later play the Red side. Image: The Soviet Project 864 Meridian-class intelligence collection ship Kareliya (SSV-535), sistership of Priazovye (437) who was involved in the receiving side of the Ukrainian mid-2023 USVs open sea strikes, steaming alongside the U.S. Navy guided missile cruiser USS Texas (CGN-39) in the First Cold War. Texas was assigned to the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70) for a deployment in the Western Pacific from 15 June to 16 December 1988. US Navy photo by a serviceperson on duty and in consequence on public domain, and took from Wikipedia Commons. From the eventful year of 2014 (Mainly from the Russian invasion of Crimea) the world was beginning clearly the so-called Second Cold War, the President of Russia Vladimir Putin (ex-KGB lieutenant colonel) was showing clearly his plan to recover the Russian Empire including previous Soviet territories for reinstitute the greatness of "his" Russia, and to guarantee his passage on the History as saviour of the Rodina. After the massive Russian build-up of forces from late 2021 in Russia and Belarus near the Ukrainian border, NATO forces were forced to an increased and constant deployment near Ukraine and the Eastern Mediterranean, to deterrent Putin's ambition. The probably original plan was to avoid an intervention by NATO ground forces but preventing the Russian main forces to enter Ukrainian territory, and to get this target to establish an air and sea exclusion zone around and over Ukraine. But at last, on February 24, 2022, Russian forces invaded Ukraine against most forecast, sinking the world in a new state of international relations, as consequence of a long and failed campaign of unexpected outcomes. On the conflict naval side, many new tactics and strategies has been employed as novelties in the Ukrainian campaign, including many that could be called of naval guerrilla warfare. One of the novelties is the employ of USVs (Unmanned Surface Vehicles) not only against moored ships in port, but also against underway ships on open sea. In concrete attacks on the Russian intelligence ships Ivan Khurs on May 24, and Priazovye on June 11, 2023, the first with three USVs, and the second employing six USVs. This scenario depicts those inconclusive Ukrainian attacks against Russian AGIs in the Black Sea. A very simple and easy scenario, at least apparently, and perhaps surprisingly balanced.

Number 2/ for me. In fact thinking for years on it, mostly about neutral submarines launching torpedoes to the blue/red side attacking it.

In fact, in real world, some or all land attack missiles should be capable to attack sea platforms, as are fixed targets with fixed coordinates.

More considerations on Iranian submarines: https://www.strategypage.com/htmw/htsub/articles/20230508.aspx

Many thanks, you are welcome! For me is a scenario more interesting as I did think when designing it, very curious. Also by error I didn't include the tag "variable replayable" because its randomness, I forget that!

Notes on some platforms: Against the usually stated 12, other loads of long torpedoes in Ohio-class are: - For Norman Polmar and K.J. Moore in "Cold War Submarines", Potomac Books 2004, page 200: 24 torpedoes. - For H.I. Sutton: 4+18=22 torpedoes. http://www.hisutton.com/World-Submarine-Ranking-Weapons-Load.html - But old reports say many times US submarines sail with only 6-9 torpedoes. - By World Air Forces 2023, later corrected by The Military Balance 2023, the Iranian Navy has some 3xP-3F Orion (at Shiraz), and some 10xASH-3D Sea King, sometimes based at Kish Island (and 3xRH-53D, sometimes based at Bushehr) currently in service, but probably of no use in this scenario because the USS Florida transit should be covered by US fighters. - The Iranian Sea King, introduced 1978, were out of service 1997-2014, and reintroduced 2015: https://www.hispantv.com/noticias/defensa/77289/iran-armada-sayari-helicoptero-sh3-buque

Image: Mediterranean Sea, Ohio-class guided-missile submarine USS Florida (SSGN-728), equipped with a Special Forces dry deck shelter (DDS) and overflown by a CV-22B Osprey assigned to 7th Special Operations Squadron, 352nd Special Operations Wing (based primarily at RAF Mildenhall), in a special operations forces interoperability exercise, February 26, 2023 (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communications Specialist 2nd Class Matthew Dickinson/Released/A serviceperson on duty and in consequence on public domain) With the world centred early 2022 on the Russian menaces to Ukraine anything can happen the next months (This was an original phrase of the LCS scenario from where I took part of this text, posted January 30, 2022!) ... but that is now an alternate world. In the nowadays real world, after her April 2006 SSGN conversion, USS Florida SSGN-728 after some months in the Mediterranean Sea sailed to the Persian Gulf, entering it April 2023. Iranian claims surprised the international scene alleging one of its Fateh-class coastal submarines forced USS Florida to surfaced entering the Persian Gulf This apparently simple scenario is developed to test the verisimilitude of those claims. This scenario is simple on its planning and execution, but perhaps difficult to master. I only hope this scenario is not similar to the infamous The Hunt for Red October game (1990).

The Russian surface group quitted the Mediterranean some days ago (probably for maintenance tasks after many months at sea, and uncapable to enter Black Sea), and is now near UK: https://ukdefencejournal.org.uk/british-warship-keeps-watch-on-russian-task-group-near-uk/
