Tactics and platform wise, you could do worse than read the Tom Clancy (and Larry Bond, the man behind all this) novel Red Storm Rising. It involves a 1980s WW3 between NATO and the Warsaw Pact, with the Harpoon system being used for gaming the convoy battles. Features a lot of the technology for Cold War stuff, such as the Tu-22M "Backfire", the Los Angeles class and Aegis. Easy to find in a book store.

Ignore stuff like cost, building possibilities. I created the two of these for a play-by-post RP I'm running, set in 2014. The first one is a stealth fighter, the other is a CVG, Sukhoi Su-50 "Fantasy" The Su-50 is a Russian stealth fighter, developed in secret with the help of information acquired from the F-117 that was downed in Kosovo and first encountered by NATO in 2014. It is only detectable on radar within IR missile ranges and IR missiles are only really effective when fired at its tail. The aircraft is basically a more rounded (and more real-world) version of the "Firefox", from the movie of that name. Capable of Mach 1.4 on burner, it has a ferry range of about 2,500 nm. Built to be an attack aircraft, its internal weapons bay is capable of carrying a single Kh-15/AS-16 missile or anything up to that size in the Russian inventory. Inside the bay are also two R-73/AA-11 IR-homing missiles, for defensive purposes. The aircraft also features a 30mm cannon. It is a two-seater aircraft, with a pilot and WSO. Thoughts?

These are great! I'm going to download a few...

I hope this is the right place, but... Could we transfer over the stuff from TonyE's Commander's Edition fictional database into here? For example, Airwolf, the "Firefox" etc.

Which platforms do you really dislike coming up against in this game? For me: * Tu-22M "Backfire". They are scary aircraft.

Sounds interesting. When are you free?

Today is the 63rd anniversary of the end of the Second World War in Europe. Thank you to all those who served the cause of freedom.

My name's Silent Hunter. I'm British, got Harpoon 3 ANW for Christmas and have been thoroughly enjoying it. Those of you who visit TV Tropes and Idioms may have seen my work there- I started the category on real world nukes... I'm going to be adding some AAR stuff for the classic scenarios, as well as many of the player ones. I like the posting interface...
