Yesterday we have had really intense combat with several different plattforms.
The Scenario I had created is called Harbour Takeover this is the description.
Chinese PLAN Forces have taken over an inhabited island on International waters near disputed Oil Fields.
US Forces are tasked to Seize that Base disembarking on it.
PLAN Forces are to prevent US Forces take control of the base.
US Forces side:
1 FFG, 1 MH-60 , 1 688i
PLAN Forces side:
1 Improved Kilo, 1 Kilo, 1 PTG (AI) and some AI KA-28.
Sea State.2
Seabed: mud
Yesterday skippers were:
Allied Task Force
MH-60: OneShot
688i: Savage Wolfy
FFG: Furia
PLAN Defence Force
KILO IMPROVED: Luftwolf
KILO: Xabbarus
We begun late because connection troubles but fianay begun underway after a restart due a helicopter autopilot malfunction.
5 minutes after game start, the AI PTG Boat, released 2 SSM on me that I was active on radar because our helicopter was just approaching enemy area to deploy a sonobuoy net.
I intercepted one of the incoming SSM whith an SM2 nicely while the second one impacted on a neutral Merchant vessel. Of course Chine sources will never recognice this :soapbox:
Since PLAN have already deployed a couple of helicopters on ASw patrol and they were feeding the enemy Kiolos with my exact possition, I just eliminated one of the Ka-28 again with SM-2 at a distance of 30 NM.
At that point and since the Kilos should have had my possition by now I did a 180 degree turn and headed back to port hidding behind the island and going ENCOM.
Unfortunately at that point our helo, piloted by the brave Oneshot, was shoot down by a SAM battery located at the enemy harbour while he still was 7 Nm away from it.
He however deployed valuable sonobuoys that would be of great help later.
I deployed the FFG Ai helo while I was again getting underway towards the enemy harbour making turns for 8 knots.
At that time I wa starting to coordinate with Wolfy on the 688i. Since his torpedoes had longer range and better capabilities of the toy Mk-50 I was acting as spotter for him. I asked him to fire one to clear my path ahead. He fired from about 15 Nm. That torp on the replay passed just less than one mile from LW Kilo but unfortunately didn't locked. However forced him to launch CM and reposition giving me better chances to avoid his attack later.
Just at this time Xabbarus had to disconnect and he kindly let his sub on surface wich I eliminated it with a Harpoon from about 25 NM. Thx Xabba, was good for the practice :biggrin:
The coordination with Wolfy was excellent so with his torps steered on my commands based on the data I was getting on my TA and sonobuoys were nearing the Kilo area and surely givinf LW something to think.
due to the fired torps from the 688, another enemy helo fly directly to the 688 and I had to dispacth it with another SM-2 at about 25 NM.
I also dispatched the enemy PBG boat with a Harpoon but had to make an over the shoulder shoot deviating the missile path to avoid the enemy SAM platform that have killed Oneshot and that had shoot down my previous harpoon to the PTG. :attack:
At that point LW kilo opened on me witn4 torpedoes at very short range. I guess less than 3 miles. I was making Full speed ahead at that time so I just got the TIW. I inmediately went active and got his possition wicch I passed to the 688, and calulating the torpedo run time I avoided them making an evasive maneuver :cool:
I will not discuss my evassive maneuver here lol :censored: (this is just that keeps me floating) but anybody experienced on Destroyer Command vs Silent Hunter II that have dogged hundres of torps fired usually by humman players, have some tricks on his pocket for this.
Unfortunately despite having him zeroed at les than 3 miles I made a mistake and fired on him all my torps but not changing the Enable distance from the standar 10000:damnit: so all my 6 torps passed really near him but not enabled. Time to learn this and not to repeat
One of his torpedoes engaged and killed a near merchie. Tsts. Civilian Merchant Navy is demosntrating in from of China Embassy now :mob:
LW maneuvered and fired another set of 4 torps on me.
This time I could evade 3 but the 4rth hit me on the bow, giving me 43% of damage and a lot of systems of line.
At this time I was rescued by Wolfy on the 688i who was steering his Trops based on the info I passed to him and made LW to disengage and initiate evasive maneuvering.
Luckily my powerplant was untouched so I fleed the area towards the harbour with LW on my baffles playing seek and hide with Wolfy torps. Wolfy :you_rock:
This is when I could take this pic

At the same time, LW was evading torpedoes, released his two last fishes and expended all his CM.
So I went to recapture the illegal enemy base and retourn the International legality on thos waters while Luftwolf was trying to prepare a report to the PLAN HQ in Beijin about how was possible than an FFG could escape ALL his torpedoes while fired at less than 5 miles away and having the FFG on the persicope. He was not relieved when the submarine, political Comissar confined him on his quarters and accused him of Traitor to the Poeple of China :tongue:
China Naval Base was not looking bad at all when docking

And finally this are the results of the match:
http://www.orionwarrior.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=30&stc=1&d=1134303994
This macht despite the initial connection troubles and that the map was a bit long in time, we fought for about 3 and half hours, was very exciting and challenging.
I am really looking forward for the next ones with such good and capable players.
THANKS FOR SUCH NICE GAME GENTLEMEN
