Into the Storm - AAR

[p7p8]

Some screens from playing. (At beginning I forgot to make screens - sorry)

My loadout:





After start I've increased altitude for better radar range detection.
I also made some ploting around interested area (I assumed target speed around 15 kts - but it was 20!)

Finally I found first 50 Hz contact form deep sonobuoys. Target was outside ploted circle!





Predicting target speed:



I hadn't permission to attack. My task was to track target. After some time i've recived permission for attack and for droping DICASS.



My 2 mines splash water too far from target. Yankee was only damaged! (I didn't know how badly).

So I made another approach:





Yankee was deadly hit!





Mission sumary:




Some words after game. This is very nice scenario. Not too hard but very immersive.

Props:
- good map
- immersive messages, weather and "cold war" climate
- tracking target before attack permission (really good idea)
- many "contacts" on way to OPAREA
- good idea for scenario

Cons:
- civilian traffic is to heavy for stormy weather
- lack of other (civilian) 50 Hz contacts near target
- player is "untouchable" all the time (some russian small warships would be nice)
- lack of allied SSN (british HMS Spartan submarine) who "lost contact" with soviet sub.
- soviet sub starts too far from "last known position".
- lack of information what was course of soviet submarine (W, SW etc.)


Of course this is my opinion. All cons are minor, because mission is very fun for playing.

I recommend this mission to all DW players, not only Orion drivers.
