I'll have to give favorite some thought and post it later. Least favorite is easy. Prep mission for some type of inspection is the worst. Whether is be ORE or something else, it is a guaranteed drill and field day packed deployment. Major crapfest!

NTPI's and ORSE's sucked.... Hunting outbound Soviet boomers was the best IMO because you actually felt like you were doin something other than punching holes in the ocean.

Yet one thing about the plots. Contact symbols.

DW uses different symbol sets for friendly, neutral, hostile and unknown. It has symbols for weapon, missile, mine. Are these symbols any realistic ? Do manual plots use colors ?

Or are only the bearing lines plotted ?

The fire control system used symbols, the geoplot much more simplistic. About the only symbols I recall using was the contact designator i.e. M1 or S23 etc.

OK I gave this some thought and I would have to say (excluding port visits for propaganda in Perth or something) that my favorite would be a HULLTEC mission. Nothing cooler than giving another ship or sub a close up visual keel inspection without them being aware.
