Default My favorite mission is:

What mission floats your boat the most?

For me I love the challenge of a good covert land strike. Sneak into position, verify your target waypoints and then ..... Whoom! your missiles are off, out of nowhere to the enemy, speeding toward their unwaring stations/ports/camps to boom them to bits... in the meantime your either silently slipping back into the darkness or hauling butt to clear datum before the wrath of retribution falls on your position Nothing quite like it. Puts a kick into littoral warfare

SAG/CVBG attacks are kindof fun somtimes, but feel kindof old imho after a while, just plant yourself in front of the thundering heard and let them drive right into your trap... problem is that their never really seems to be that much retribution coded into the behavior of the escorts, they run from your torps, but never really prosecute a counter detection and attack in some of the mission setups.... of course the same can be said for the cover strike missions...

Those underice SSBN hunts are fun and pure sub vs sub mayhem, but so straightforward its not much to strategize about... find them, kill them... wal-la.

The recon missions are pretty annoying imho, because there are always 2-3 ASW frigates blaring away active sonars right at the spot your trying to get too and you can't do anything about it, whoever thought that that was a fun mission is sadistic , especially when its tagged with a time limit and/or the active sonar frigs are spawned right on top of you 5nm from your port in the mission scripts.
