Ok. I'm in. Thanks, Mirth.

I was a little worried about it running on my rig but with a few tweaks it looks and runs just fine.

Surprisingly, it doesn't need a lot of horsepower. Plays just fine on my 7 year old Macbook.

Whelp, this was my best run so far, playing a Sturgeon class in the 1984 campaign.

I knew the last mission was suicide, so I may revert to the save and continue the campaign from that.  I was tasked to take out the Moskva.  Unfortunately, I ran afoul of a Russian surface group on my way to intercept the carrier group... a Kresta and Krivak ASW group.  I actually ended up kicking my own ass.  I got detected by the Kresta before I had a good shot set up and so I had to evade and I let loose two snap shots at the ships.  Unfortunately for me, I broke the wires on both torps, and to make matters worse, I shot at close range such that I ended up spending 20 minutes evading my own torpedoes!

I shot all 4 of my Moss's during the evasion, but managed somehow to evade one completely, and got the second one to acquire the Kresta by some tricky maneuvering.  So I took out both ships, but expended my best countermeasures. 

The Moskva group got past me, so I didn't have time to hit Holy Loch to re-arm.  I raced into the North Atlantic and somehow caught up with them, but I got dumped into the scenario pretty close, and they had an Alfa that got me almost immediately on active.  Next thing I know I've got Russian torps all over me.  I got off a few snap shots, and took out two escorts, but by then a helo was all over me and I simply ran out of room to maneuver.

Pretty tense gameplay, though!

you love Russian seaman all over your face, admit it.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

I reloaded the saved campaign, but it somehow just felt like cheating.  I managed to intercept the Moskva group in the save re-start, way way out, like 25k yards.  I got some really nice ESM hits and just unloaded a 4 shot TASM strike.  All four ended up hitting the Moskva and took her down.  I cheated by checking it in 3D view since I had no idea what I was actually shooting at.

After that, it was quite easy to escape, but afterwards it felt kind of hollow after all the work I had put into the campaign up to that point.  So I think I'm going to accept my defeat and re-start a new 1984 campaign.  Going to go with the LA this time, though.

I did start a new 1968 campaign, but I've come to the conclusion that I really prefer the 1984 campaign more.  I like being able to use the better wire-guided torps, the Moss's, and the missiles.  It makes for a more interesting experience all around, IMO.

Man, I'm a little drunk!  I'll just play a bit of Cold Waters...not too hard, not too much brain burn for a drunken Saturday night, right?

Ah crap.   ::)

Heh.

I sank all three.  You better bring your A-game if you're going to f- with Toonces in ASW.   >:D

Then got a November that was tagging along in the vicinity next mission.

The LA is a sexy beast, for sure.   :smitten:

After short breaks I'll run an LA-class for a bit, while getting reacquainted with the controls, but they are pretty damn powerful against the Soviet fleet in the '84 campaign. 

I tend to switch over to a Sturgeon class ASAP, if it feels I'm walking over the enemy too easily.  While still having many advantages, that extra little noise and slower speed turns up the heat a bit.  :nerd:  Or a Permit for extra hairy danger.
