MP6 Gulf KLUB

[OKO]

hi all

a new MP mission

3 chinese KILO (2 KLUB) are attacking a US LHD convoy (WASP LHD, HARPERS FERRY LSD, SACRAMENTO AOR).

This convoy is escorted with OHP+MH60 and a SPRUANCE+ SH60 for close range.

briefings =>

KILOS
Your mission is to sink the LHD group.
They are coming out of the strait. You must engage and destroy the 3 ships before one of them can reach the datum.
Target ships are :
- WASP LHD
- SACRAMENTO AOR
- HARPERS FERRY LSD.
The convoy will be preceded by one OHP and one SPRUANCE.
Despite both warship are not part of your objectives, siking them could help you to accomplish your mission.
Heavy ennemy air activity expected.
Some civilian traffic reported, try to avoid collateral damage.

MH-60
Your mission is to clear the path of the convoy to the datum.
You just take off from the WASP, but your base is the OHP, in front of the convoy.
Lead on the way and find those KILOs !
Watch out submarine SAMs.
Some civilian traffic reported, try to avoid collateral damage.

ORION
Your mission is to clear the path of the convoy to the datum.
You just take off from the land base.
You must reach the convoy position, and proceed to sonobuoy/MAD search along the way to the datum.
Watch out submarine SAMs.
Some civilian traffic reported, try to avoid collateral damage.

OHP
You escort a convoy of three ships : WASP LHD, SACRAMENTO AOR, HARPERS FERRY LSD.
A Spruance is affected to close escort, you lead the way.
At least one of the three ship must reach the datum.
Engage at will any suspect contact.
Some civilian traffic reported, try to avoid collateral damage.


Victory conditions =>

US side : All (3) KILO sunk or at least one ship of the convoy has reach the datum.
KILO : sink the three ship of the LHD convoy


Can be played solo or MP at any plateform (3 KILOs, 1 OHP, 1 ORION, 1 MH60)

sounds kool

[Bellman]

:) Thanks OKO - when I clear the decks of family hogging my computer, I am looking forward to diving this one. :up:

[Sea Demon]

Thanks. This is great.

This one is fun. :rock:

After four tries to beat this mission with the kilo I finally did it with the Standard Kilo (The non-Improved one). I started off by sneaking under an Oiler that was very close and heading in the direction of the enemy ARG (Old tricks are the best tricks.) I guess the P-3 got a MAD hit on me (SCS FIX THIS!) and I become the subject of several torpedoes attacks, the 1st one hits a CM the second one hits the Oiler. At this time I broach the sail shoot down the P-3 and take several shots at a nearby SH-60B. Soon I’m in a knife fight with the Spruance DD. I score one hit on her and dodge about a dozen MK-46s from both the DDs ASROCs and SVTTs. Eventually I break contact. I close in on the ARG and torpedo the Whidbey Island class LSD leaving her badly banged up. A near by Kilo Improved finished her off with a TEST-71. I take a shot at the Sacramento class AO but the 53-65Ks went after the Wasp class LHD and run out of gas, the Kilo Imp takes the Sacramento out with its own 53-65K. The Kilo Imp gets taken out and I’m low on battery juice. The Wasp is closing and at 3000m I fire my last three fish (2 53-65K, and 1 TEST-71) the two 53-65Ks smack right in to her and blow her away I shut down the TEST-71 and the mission ends.

This is one of the best missions I’ve seen in months. :up:

@TLAM Strike
The Orion also has a SAD sensor, that can for some reason distinguish between surface and subsurface magnetical anomalies, even if the sub is hidden beneath a surface ship (if you meant this by "SCS fix this"). However, I absolutely have no clue how the SAD sensor works, maybe someone here knows?

[LuftWolf]

According to the DW manual, the MAD sensor detects a broad range of magnetic anomilies but the SAD sensor detects magnetic anomiles in the spectrum given off by submerged contacts.

[TLAM Strike]

I was at close to 800 feet so I was below the SAD's detection range but close to the detection range of MAD. In this case the MAD should have had only one return while SAD should have show nothing.

[LuftWolf]

This is easily correctable in the database. All MAD/SAD sensors are set to -3000 ft.

What should the correct depth values be so I can add them to the mod?

[TLAM Strike]

I think the MAD envelope is oval shaped. It has a lateral range of 3000 feet but can only detect stuff a maximum of 1000 feet (if they were at 0 ASL) below the water.

This is how I interpreted what was stated in the manual.

[inetd]

I just finished the mission using the Orion. After some time the Spruance and Harpers Ferry were both killed within a few seconds without any warning. However, they were not hit by torpedos but hit each other - literally. Apart from these two ships sunk by the collision, I completed the mission successfully :-? From the Orion point of view, the mission is quite easy in single player. Using active dicass, if you do not detect the kilos you at least scare them away. One of them even was so scared so he entered shallow waters only to be hit by a harpoon missile from the OHP :)

hi all
back from 10 days out
thanks very much for your comments

@TLAM strike : I hope you'll like it also on MP match, as it I made it first for this :roll:
If you find it enjoyable solo also, I'm happy :yep:
KILO's side is the most difficult one for sure ... at this time ... (see below)

@inetd : I think I will change one thing
I saw that AI is able to use SAM when detecting ennemy airplanes.
This happen if the AI sub is at PD.
yes => IA sub are able to use SAM :-j
So I will change WP for subs, ordering them to go to PD, one after the other, for some minutes (~7 to 12 for exampe) to give random AI SAM threat to US aircrafts.
I will test this and release the next version if I find something more interesting, giving a real threat to US airplane.
Of course, If one of the KILO is human manned, I can assure you this mission is VERY dangerous for aircraft, because the visibility is "unlimited", and KILO can find them easily.
That's why there is 5 possible aicraft on US side (2 for OHP and 2 for Spruance -one on alert 30-).

one request to you all playing my missions :
if you find my brief, or mission summary or report have bad english, please, help me to correct this.
I know my english need corrections.
thanks a lot :rock:
