Battle Report - Knight of Fear- November 12th, 2016

And one more scenario from yesterday. This time a mission designed by Tamburello: Knight of Fear.

Together with Ghostdog (both of us on Udaloy class) we were supposed to protect our special freighter.

We will be attacked by 2 Los Angeles class submarines. Around of us a lot of units. Almost everywhere, there were 60Hz contacts. On one side it made very difficult to find LA, but on the other hand it helped us to hide our shipment. The enemy should not know which of the contact would be a real target.

We agreed with Ghost, that we would speed up and positioned ourselves ahead of convoy. He went NW and I coursed NE. I managed to detected far and slow contact (3 kts). I tracked it as assumed enemy.

In the meantime, our spies decoded the message from the opposite side. They planned to attack our facilities with TALMs

.

Again, I speed up, passed neutral ships and waited for my helo to launch.

Unfortunately, the first strike was made by Bleach. He launched missiles at Ghost and sunk him

.

However, just before hit, Ghost was able to launch his helo, that detected Bleach. Thanks to that, I received additional information about enemy sub. I launched a Silex and probably hit the sub, but I am not sure. However my helo is on the way. Additional sonobuoy and I have position of the sub.

Los Angeles has been sunk and I was looking for next one. But couple minutes later I received a message: torpedo in the water. WTF ??? I looked at the map, were were the torpedoes. And there were no hope for our freighter. 2 fishes destroyed her.

And our mission failed. On the replay, I noticed how big mistake I made. First I assessed a neutral ship as submarine and only by coincident the enemy sub was near there. The second: we left our West flank unprotected, so Tamburello was able to sneak and hit our shipment.

It was very interesting game and thanks to all all you for the game.

You did indeed hit me with your first torpedo. 78% damage, I had no time to recover and maneuver away from my datum. A good game was had by all!

I almost over shot because you guys were going so fast. Was surprised to see the cargo ship left all alone and make for an easy attack.

EDIT / DISCLAIMER:

The OP states this is a mission designed by me. That is technically not true. This mission is a modification of a single player mission downloaded from Subguru.
