RA Mod quick missions

A-Ganger · 10-12-17, 01:27 PM

Just played 2 quick missions, both of them, shot down "without" any warning!
Actually 1 st mission had no warnings, 2nd mission went down like this. Missile L... shotdown.
Certainly the P3 is capable of finding a missile more than .0238 seconds before it hits you lol
Another bug in the quick mission system.

Just keep in mind, in RA *any* weapon has some odds of being a dud.
Ivan mentions that in the readme's, he might have buried it in the fine print, but he does mention it.

I don't think I've had an actual torp failure in 1.43 yet, but someone else was speculating that torps are now less likely to hit their target if that target is a modern sub. I've also had my back sides handed to me on some missions by the AI.

In 1.43's quick missions, I've had to work a lot more against the newer subs but ships haven't changed much and I had a pretty easy time against a Foxtrot last night.

For now, I'm giving Ivan the benefit of the doubt. Think about it, some of us are still playing a ten year old game and its still throwing curves at us.

In terms of history, SC and DW were always meant to reflect modern warfare. Maybe, in the meantime, some Navy's didn't invest a lot and tried to skate by

while others poured a lot of money into their fleet and training?

How do you, as the player, deal with that?

Besides, we're talking RA 1.43. Maybe things will change again by RA 1.55?

In quick missions, you don't get to decide where to position yourself before the shooting starts.

You don't have the option of "setting the battlefield" or doing recon prior to an attack. That's what regular missions and campaigns are for.

Lately, I use quick missions like I'm going to an attack simulator on shore. Use the sim time to knock off the rust or try new tactics before you deploy.

The quick missions were this silly in the stock game, too. It's just the changes to RA amplify the silliness

It's unfortunate, they had real potential with the quick missions.
