Even more interesting, based on this test case and actual scenario, is the fact that the bear isn’t loaded for ASUW either, only ASW. So in that regard the bear is weaponless as well. You can only choose one load out, not a mix. And what happens is the bear w ASW loadout flies directly towards a playable ffg in EMCON and does nothing, but get pwned by CIWS.
:hmm: That was my reason for saying that the ‘suicide run’ basically is an attempt to make visual ID based on radar return of a non-emitting contact. The solution is a strategic / tactical work-around, basically redefining how red taskforce can do without the bear & EW and remain just as effective if not better. The workaround also resolves possible issues in playability where blue surface were being engaged at time of spawn from over 100s of nm with ASMs in response to a linked contact. Now that option is available for both sides really, before it wasn't an option at all.
