I am really looking forward to this release. I served in the military in the 1980's and still fondly remember the heady days of Microprose and computer games that had exhaustive manuals. With that in mind here is a link to download the Red Storm Rising manual in .pdf format:
http://replacementdocs.com/download.php?view.2474 The sections near the end of the manual cover political and strategic ideologies. Sub tactics and weapon platform descriptions are also covered in pretty good detail. If you are new to 1980's submarine weapon systems and tactics, or would just like a refresher this is a good read. Hope this helps! |

Thank you! I have been trying to play it on Dosbox to get in the mood for Cold Waters - but it has been tricky without a manual and although I played the heck out of this back in the day my 43 year old brain can't remember how to play it!

A couple of ASW questions...
Just wondering:
1. How long will an ASW helo (Hormone?)continue to buzz/dip after its mother ship has been sunk? With all of the excellent attention to detail in this game, I would expect it to have a realistic fuel limit before it crashes/disappears. 2. How many torpedoes can the same ASW helo drop without returning to a ship to re-arm? I believe in real life those models carry only two. |

Aaaarghhhhh
Right.....here is the beef.
Just completed the 150 day roaming patrol in the Red Storm Rising Mod. On completion of the patrol, I was tasked with a land strike. I have now attempted this mission numerous times (and by numerous I mean I've lost count ) and I have sunk the escorts on each occasion. I have got my missiles away on occasions as well. However I keep getting zapped by depth bombs from the overhead Bears either on approach and escaping from my firing position. I have tried approaching along the coastline at slow speeds, I have hugged the bottom, I have attempted to approach from a variety of angles but it is always ending the same way. I will continue to attempt to beat them, but a little advice from the REAL experts on here would not go amiss at the moment.

Good Hunting!

As soon as you launch all of your missiles, you can end the mission (provided nothing is around to prevent you from doing that).

As soon as I take out an escort, I can hear the airborne assets looking for me. On completion of firing off my salvo, when I try to click on leave combat, I am told that there is aircraft nearby and that I need to clear the area, doesn't matter what I try to do to evade, they keep getting me eventually, primarily by depth bombs. I am currently psyching myself up for another attempt.
