RED STORM RISING Campaign feedback - Page 2

I think that if the Iceland landing goes bad for the Russians there will be very few Backfires for you to deal with. I suink all the LCs, the two FAC and the Cargo Ship and Only two Backfires showed up in that mission, most of the time I was dealing with Badgers which are armed with Subsonic missiles. The convoy only lost three merchies (two to subs one to air attack) and the HMS Brilliant (or whatever that FF was called).

Roger that. The Soviet strength in Riposte depends on the outcome of the Iceland mission.

Deathblow · 12-28-05, 08:22 PM

That makes sense then.... explains why I am getting utterly and completely pumelled....

Another question. I'm experiencing some game stability issues consistently with the 2nd to last mission. A save from the mission will result in a CTD 9/10 times. I haven't completed the mission in 10 tries due to CTD, lock ups, or something else.

Anyone else having problems with this particular mission or is it just my maching, playing tricks on me?

TLAM Strike · 12-28-05, 08:32 PM

I've seen this problem in several missions including the Nordic Hammer mission and the 2nd to last mission.

Thank you Bill for a great campaign

It's been very nice to play, although I ended up shooting down an Airbus 300

(What was it doing in the war-zone anyway?

)

I have encountered a problem in the Time on Target mission. I sent the Tomahawks to hit the airbase from South. First time, no effect. The second time I checked with Show Truth on, and it appeared the Tomahawks flew through the airbase and hit the ground about 30ft under the airbase, and the airbase took no damage. Hence no completion of the mission. Anyone else has this problem? I'm using the newest 1.3b patch and LwAmimod for the patch.

About the Reposte mission to Deathblow: you could use your ESM, link targets and helo radar only. This way it will be harder for the enemy to spot you. Just turn your radars on only once the hostile air targets are within the shooting range of your missiles.

Liked the Campaign, keep up the good work...

MBot · 03-14-08, 02:58 AM

Finaly managed to play the campaign (most of it). Realy great job Bill, a spectacular campaign for a spectacular game. Thank you very much.

I don't know if you are still making missions for DW, but how about a campaign about the the operations of ARA San Luis during the Falklands War (using the Kilo)?

Thanks for the kudo. As you might suspect from the date of the the last update to my site, I've not been into DW lately. Too many other things on my plate, between job and grad school.

I have every intention to getting back to sea, but can't promise when it might be.

Concerning Time on Target - Your targeting must be precise, else you'll miss, just like you observed. That's intrinsic to DW, not something I did.

Concerning Reposte: Failure to delay the invasion of Iceland means you'll see many Backfires in this mission. All is not lost, however. If you can shoot down the Bear at the earliest opportunity, then it won't have time to call the Backfires to attack your convoy. (You'll still have to deal with the Badgers, but they're much easier to defend against).

Equinox · 01-26-07, 11:57 AM

Can someone please explain to me why it is that my ship begins to suffer damage while at rest in the slip, even before I have time to energize the APU's, or order up reverse engines or anything. There is a steady, progressive buildup of collision damage that ultimately sinks the ship. My hopes for career advancement seem limited, what with my first command going down at the dock and all....

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Bill Nichols · 01-26-07, 02:02 PM

Which patch version are you using?
Try turning 'wave riding' OFF in the options.

Equinox · 01-26-07, 03:05 PM

I am using the latest patch, 1.04. I will give the wave riding suggestion a try. Many thanks for the suggestion.

Equinox · 01-26-07, 03:11 PM

Well, now I feel really foolish but I have to ask where in the options selections is the option to turn off wave riding. I have checked under the 3-D choice and examined two screens of options but I don't see this choice there. I'm betting this is life once again presenting me with another opportunity to embarass myself but where is this option located?

Again, thanks for your help.

LuftWolf · 12-30-05, 09:54 AM

Miika, if you don't retarget your TLAMs, 27LAMs, or SLAM-ERs using waypoints they won't work right. That happens in basically any situation or mission using Land Attack Missiles.

It may have been like that as long as SC.

Miika · 12-30-05, 03:40 PM

I mean the missiles hit the airbase, some of them precisely at the junction of the main runways (i.e. in the middle), but they flew through the airbase, which seemed to float in the air (when I checked with Show Truth on) and exploded physically in the ground directly under the floating airbase, inflicting no damage. I guess, though, that the problem is with my computer or my settings. But I'll keep checking. If nothing else works, I can play through the two remaining missions with the single mission option. Adding them to the mission pack was an excellent idea
