I must be getting the hang of DW, because all I do now is complaina bout how bad some of the default missions are :hmm:
My main "hmmmm" at this point is as follows. Most of the time, I cant hear an enemy outside of 10-12 miles. This gives me a very narrow berth in missions like the Russian Rebeliion campaign mission that calls for me to witness the launcing of a Chinese missile. It drops you in about 600 square miles of ocean and tells you find the sub, which means picking up a contact within 10 miles of my boat. Thats alot of water to find a sub in, when I have had no direction from command of how or where I should search for this boat. I ended up going to PD and using the ESM to locate anything around, then diving to 150 feet and listening for what felt like forever. I only ultimatly found the sub by cheating (truth).
As for the Sonar, im quite comfortable with it now. Its amazing howit just clicks and makes sense one day!
The only trouble I have there is that when I have multiple contacts, I sometimes have a hard time managing them and recalling what is what. Then, ometimes I get fooled by the duplicate contacts portrayed by the towed array. This isnt such a problem with the seawolf, as the display kind of answers the question of which is the real and which is the dummy contact without my having to swing the boat around to see what moves.....
Ive also grown partial to the seawolf over the LA class. Simply for the view and feel of the systems on board. I find them alot more managable.
Now it's just about finding all the best missions and putting myself to work! I've downloaded some great single missions from Subguru, but Im looking more for full blown campaigns to play.....As in Subguru's Red Storm....
Anyway, as more questions arise, I shall be here to ask. (Demon still a little mysterious, but im getting it...)
Thanks to everyone who has helped out, it really is appreciated. You helped save me from trashing a perfectly good game! (sonalysts thanks you too.)
Seaqueen, ...Thanks.
