An unworthy foe...

Many of the scenarios given assume that the enemy will be roughly symetric. Suppose the game had foes that would do things like-transport arms in a fishing boat under a neutral flag, deliberately hide amid neutral shipping, use small trawlers as a missile platform, or otherwise do nasty tricks.

There are missions out there where supposedly civilian vessels turn out to be enemy. Hiding amonst neutral shipping is common. You won't see trawlers as missile platforms though, since trawlers are unarmed in the DB.

I guess it would be possible to deliver custom missions with custom database. Database or doctrine is fairly small file .

A scenario where OHP, Seahawk conducting check on the trawler is attacked by machine gun fire from the trawler , adds some action to the game.

All you would had to do , would be a backup of database.

You could simulate fire with scripts. Adding damage or missiles when you get close enough.

You can add some smoke and explosions . . . But it would be cool to see actual bullets sprayed in your direction

Can you add missiles ? Didn't know that. How do you that ?

I think that this is for Neal to help out with since he created the great Red Storm Rising Campaign!

There was a fun scenario someone made a while ago called CAPER FOCUS that I enjoyed. The goal was basically to catch the narco-terrorists running around in go-fasts off the coast of Columbia.

Since small arms don't do anything to surface vessels in DW, these sorts of scenarios are usually all about the hunt rather than the fight. Small arms do damage helocopters, though. Right now, in fact, MH-60s armed with heavy machine guns and hellfires ply the smuggling routes of the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman, looking for arms smugglers and pirates. The waters near the coast of Oman in particular are shallow, choked with coral, and poorly surveyed making them off limits to FFGs and DDGs. There was an article in Naval Aviation about that a few months ago.

But, you gave Neal the credit!

My bad .. it seems it is not possible to add missiles.
