Can anyone out there explain the discrepancies between the arcs for the Mk92 CAS and Mk92 STIR on a 1989 O.H. Perry between the "America's Navy" book and the "Tattletail" scenario? The fleet book has no specified arcs for the directors, which means they should use the ones from the mounts they're associated with, in this case P&S for the CAS and F for the STIR (though since the CAS is also listed as a radar in general with 360 degree view, I assume it can also direct in 360 degrees). However, the "Tattletail" scenario has an O.H. Perry with an F arc for the CAS and a P&S arc for the STIR, the complete opposite of the fleet book, not to mention a PW/SW arc for the backup OP gunfire director, whereas the fleet book lists no such arcs and assumes the director will have the same arc as the mount. What gives? Both of these documents are supposedly updated to August 2024

Read the rulebook and was trying to work through the Jumpstart: Guardian scenario as an attempt to learn with some guidance, when I realized that a lot of the examples in the scenario are out of date of the current errata, so I have some questions. The rulebook only mentioned the evaporative duct as being usable by ships, and yet the scenario has a helicopter using the duct to extend its radar horizon. Can aircraft use the duct? If so, where is that rule located? I think I figured this out by going through errata documents, but can someone confirm that the sensor type modifier for RF FC solutions no longer exists? As I understand it, instead of a modifier, now non data-link sharing from the helicopter should only provide a "poor" solution if it is feeding data to the frigate from an active sensor, and should have no effect whatsoever on the FC solution if the frigate decides to make its own, independent, solution using passive bearing (since the sensor type modifier no longer exists) Not related to the scenario, but still confusing to me. When the rules state that a helicopter launch leads to the helicopter, at the end of the movement phase, moving into the wind at 25% of its full power at low altitude, what does that mean exactly? If the helicopter needs 5 minutes to launch, was launched in the previous tac turn, and is now launched 2 minutes into the current tac turn (for a total of 5 min) does that mean the helicopter is forced to move into the wind at 25% of its full power speed until the end of the movement phase (the remaining 3 min of the phase)? Or rather, does it mean that a helicopter launch is not finished until the end of the movement phase, even if time-wise it would finish half way through it? I hope this is the appropriate place to be asking these questions. If not, I'd appreciate being pointed in the right direction, as opposed to simply telling me I was wrong to post this here. Regardless, I'll appreciate any help anyone can provide.
