CV32 Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Noted... but one doesn't particularly care when one's sub is sinking... Certainly not. Its the kind of thing that matters before a hull breach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSF Posted May 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Ok, here we go. Air missions set. AC underway to their stations. The goal is to protect a convoy heading for the UK. Main threats will be hostile AC coming in from Iceland. Maybe subs and ships, too. A classical Cold War scenario, the stuff I like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSF Posted May 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 I played this one many years ago. Don´t remember my old tactics. Decision is to counterattack one hostile base with British Tornados. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSF Posted May 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Bad idea. All strikers are shot down by hostile fighters and SAM sites. Really rusty, my strategy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSF Posted May 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Skunks and boogies detected. North to my escort force. A clear and present danger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSF Posted May 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Missile attacks on Escort Force from the North and, obviously sub-launched, from the East. More missile attacks, this time from another submerged contacts. Coming in from the East, heading for the convoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSF Posted May 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 The first balance sheet: lost all 16 GR 1 Tornados, one Eagle, one Nimrod and two Orions. Terrible. Got four Fulcrums, one Flogger, one Moss AEW and three recce birds in return. The good news: no hostile cruise missile, and there were dozens inbound, made it through my screen. Thus I can return the favour, hunting the subs and ships. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSF Posted May 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 New waves of cruise missiles inbound from the North and East. Sandboxes and Shaddocks. Looks like the Russians reloaded both their ships and subs. This time two convoy HVUs are lost. Meanwhile I lost another Nimrod to SAMs. There must be a long shooter inside the Russian SAG. Carrying cruise missiles and deadly Grumble SAMs. Thus a Slava or a Kirov. Bad news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSF Posted May 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 More bad news: there are missile carrying bombers in the game. Luckily I just got six. But they sunk one escort vessel. I need to place the Eagle fighters right in this threat axis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSF Posted May 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 After futile efforts to attack the hostile SAG I refocused on my one primary goal: to bring the convoy home. Thus I regroup my remaining assets in order to bring up a perfect umbrella along its way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSF Posted May 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 While slowly closing in to friendly waters, I get a second sub. The first one was an Alfa class SSGN, fast and furious. This time I sunk an old Echo II missile carrying sub. One of at latest two which fired their Shaddock salvos time ago on my convoy. No match for modern AsW forces.

JSF Posted July 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 My Convoy has reached Liverpool. But only eight out of twelve HVUs made it. Orders required ten to come through. Thus it is a draw at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSF Posted July 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 Last step of my walkthrough: Harpoon ANW UE V 3.10.1 (latest update) Battleset: Cold War Scenario: Black Sea Surprise Side: Nato This is one of the stock scenarios I´ve never played so far. Time to do it. It´s all about deflection I think: using my air assets to deflect hostile ASW and AAW assets in order to plough the way for my sub-launched cruise missiles. what is really missing here is a Sentry AEW aircraft to monitor and coordinate the battle. Half of my birds are launched, the other half is reloaded since the intial loadouts were useless iron bombs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
