Still Land Attack Woes

Pnzrldr · 10-01-17, 08:24 AM

Running a 688 with VLS in the 2004 campaign mod. Land attack missions easier to get the missiles away... but still need some tweaks. Ordered to attack Gremikha. While enroute, encountered two nuke boats, within the specified 100 miles of Gremikha in the mission orders. Sank both, but didn't esc out of the encounter. Checked range to target - well within 100 miles. Launched all TLAMs. All hit. But when I esc out I got no credit for the land attack. Mission failed. C'mon guys - we can do better.

one of the objectif i guess was to remain undetected ... sinking two nuke sub is not. objectif fail.

Can the OP confirm one of the objectives is to remain undetected?
Impossible to remain undetected while launching VLS.

It should be possible to sink vessels and not have your sub targeted.

Agreed. However, that is stated in all orders in all missions -- either remain undetected and or avoid ASW patrols. If that is an actual parameter then it should be "spelled out." Otherwise, as noted by Old Man, you are detected as soon as you launch. So, if detection after launch is permissible then, again, such things should be coded in the mission and that made clear in the mission orders.

I am not sure, but I escaped out pretty quickly on a Gremika TLAM mission. The ESC page said the TLAM strike was completed 8 for 8 but I got a mission failure. I wondered if my TLAMs actually struck in the quickness of my ESC from the mission.

It made me wonder how long the TLAMs take to fly the distance so that I need to stay in the mission until they actually hit the target. Should I wait?

Short answer yes

Normally, I sit and reload tubes after every mission. If I remember correctly, I did not have anything nearby.

Maybe I should play some chess with the XO before ESCing out.
