Testing FFG7

Scenario setup:

Mission: N. Atlantic Convoy
Patch: 1.03b
LW/AMI Version 3.00b

• Following the operational doctrine of EMCON established for an FFG7, all emitting sensors were shut down, The helo was sent out to lay down a picket line of sonobuoys, while in transit, I set the Helo to link its radar to the FFG (REMRO) so as to keep the frigate under EMCON, once the Backfire appeared, I used the Helo’s radar to track the TU-22M and assign an SM-2 to engage the Backfire, the FCR gave me a fire solution, I fired and the SM -2 went in the totally opposite direction of its target, if the Helo’s radar link can not be used to fire the SM-2, then it should not give you the “Fire� option enabled as it did, if on the contrary it can be used to acquire and assign targets to the SM-2, something is not working properly. Also, the Helo’s radar did not paint the incoming Vampires, only the TU-22M.
• In the bridge, the “Ordered� speed setting is always marking 29 knots, no matter what changes you make, either by using the speed control handle, or by manually setting the speed, it always shows 29 knots.
• The longer TA cable certainly makes for a clearer passive sensor, but wouldn’t you know it, it got caught by one of the convoy’s ships and ate it (I think, there was nothing else that could have crippled it), certainly realistic, something to keep in mind you FFG drivers. Also, I am aware that the depth of the TA transducer is dictated by the length of the cable, or the speed of the frigate, wouldn't be nice if the transducer had a fin stabilizer effect, where you could set its traveling depth to adjust for a given situation, this would be aquestion for the game engine I guess, just an idea.

That’s all I got for now, I’ll keep on giving this thing a once over and see what else I can come up with, see you.
