Of visual sightings - and - data links - and such...

Hi,

Just recently started with DW... I have played SC / 688i and I have some real world Sub experience - too...

When using the FFG with SH-3 deployed... I have my SH-3 over fly some unknown contacts... Even after the over flight - the contacts are not positively ID'd... Is there something special I need to do - to ID a contact... I would think a visual inspection should provide the most positive ID on a surface contact...

Also when using the FFG - If I have my SH-3 loaded with missiles - how would I get the SH-3 to attack something using missiles ??? I see I can add a waypoint to drop a torpedo or buoy - however - I don't see a means to launch anything else...

Again with the FFG - I ran that single mission off Korea - working with a friendly cruiser... When I started the mission - all the contacts I had were unknown... With the data links that we use today - should I not immediately know who and where my friends are ??? Are friendly forces able to identify - share - and - prosecute - unfriendly forces ?

Skimmers - baaaah...

Great Job Sonalysts... I can vouch for the Sub side - this is about as real as it get's...

Thanks,
Scott
