So I got Command: Modern Air Naval Operations. This game. It is hard  Should I be micromanaging my aircraft in A2A combat, to get them to beam missiles/evade their "Cone" before they go active etc? And for ships, should I just "Blink" my radars to scan things rather than leave them on? It seems doing the latter gets me force-fed a train of AShm's

Baloogan posted:Almost never turn your radars on your ships. They will turn their radars/jammers on automatically if they think they are under attack. Is there anything I can do about the enemy jamming my missiles and radars? I'm having a ton of trouble in the Duelists scenario because when my 24 Sea Eagles go in for a target, they're all jammed!

Gotcha  My final question for the night... why the gently caress do my planes suddenly take 6 hours to rearm, while others are extremely speedy? F-14's rearm fast as hell it seems, while my Sea Harriers and Buccaneers take a full 6 hours it seems!

Is that changeable in the scenario editor, or is it pre-determined via the database? i'm just curious, all the scenarios give plenty of time to rearm after all :P

gently caress, weird bug in Command: Modern Air Naval Operations. Enemy jets firing at the ghost/jammer contacts my EA-6 created were counting as actual kills! Gotta find the log, this was loving bizarre. Like Su27's getting cannon kills on ghost-targets and killing a Hornet 100 miles away etc.

Abrams is still the best around in Black Sea though. T90AM is very good though, just slightly outclassed ingame. Thankfully it doesnt have the 2A82 gun or it'd have the best gun ingame.

Their original site had a huge part trying to say "No, no, no the T-72 was NOT a bad tank the Gulf War was not a good example!" which was pretty hilarious, albeit true.

Eskaton posted:How do I not get my poo poo rocked in Graviteam? The best I've done so far is where I thought I'd set up an entrenched line around the enemy deployment to only find them on some flank where they met my BTRs (I lost that engagement, but they offered a ceasefire). Set all settings to arcade, and if anyone asks you just shout "THE UI IS SHITTTTT!" at em like I do. When the AI ceasefires, let em IMO. I'm on turn 7 of the Soviet/Iran campaign and currently about to get hit by a big ol' group of what looks like 24+ M60A1's. Going to try and flank super wide when they start moving and hope to god I can open up from the rear versus them for a few volleys. Wish I had a few more Hinds or Su25's, but nope. Only two Hinds so far Air support is also super effective when you get it (which is pretty rare). Especially the Impala in the South African campaign, that thing kicks rear end. Bombs, then cannons, then rockets. Dandywalken fucked around with this message at 04:19 on May 13, 2015 |

Uninstalled the gently caress out of Graviteam Tactics. Had a full South African motorized group, two of em. 60 or so dudes I think? or maybe 40. Were ambushing 2 T55's that rolled in the night oblivious to the group behind a dune, waiting for the tanks to clear it so they could fire. Had Ratel 20mm's and 90mm's. LRAC's as RPG's. Range was <100 meters, it was going to be great. When the moment came, only one guy fired his LRAC and it missed. The T-55's then gunned down the entire rest of the motorized group of infantry, who had all for some reason failed to fire. None of the Ratels even tried to fire, including the 90mm's. Afterwards, a Milan team of mine fired at one of the remaining T55's. 6 shots, 2 hit.  Penned through the ammo and fuel compartments. No effect, it kept on rolling oblivious. Fuccccck that poo poo.

Panama Red posted:Sorry for the late response but Supreme Ruler Cold War is pretty good. Definitely substance over style and it has a steep learning curve, but that seems like most grog games. You can play as either the USA or the USSR in campaign mode, or any country in sandbox mode. The politics options are pretty limited and gameplay is more oriented to war, but it's pretty good for a lesser done setting. Gotta disagree on this one. Bad series from a studio that tried their best, but had too much on their plate to finish. Game gets slower and slower too as the AI builds more and more units, refusing to sell/decomission old ones. The USSR was using T-10M's and MiG21's in 1990 as their main force, and France just kept building WWII-era half track infantry. It was ridiculous.

drat, the RQ-11 in Black Sea is poo poo at spotting anything. Sent it flying over a field that had 2 teams of entrenched Kornets in it, and it failed to spot a single god drat thing. In Shock Force, you could at least see trenches etc if you had a visual on that area. I can understand not being able to ID the individual guys from a tiny RQ-11, but it'd be useful if you could see "Oh, there are fortifications/trenches here" so you'd know to keep that area in mind for further investigation. Are the bigger UAV's better? Hell, can I use an Apache for recon even to try and spot poo poo once the AA threat is dead?

Alchenar posted:I'm dipping my toes into Graviteam Tactics once again and just about starting to get it. gently caress me they don't want you to like the game though. Top of the list scenario: play a turn at night because that's fun, also all your troops are exhausted and lacking heavy weapons and there's tanks coming for you. The whole thing is loving weird. Graviteam felt like most of the things that should be automated werent, because that way people could claim the game demanded micromanagement on an administrative level in line with the game's theme Then the same people could justify alot of strange decisions and AI weirdness with "Well, it isnt meant to be played like a tactical RTS game, you need to trust the AI and acknowledge that people make mistakes under fire". To a layman, this sounds like its just an excuse for lovely UI with poorly explained mechanics (re-crewing damaged tanks, resupply of units in the field as you mentioned) coupled with a lovely AI. I'm a layman. I live in shame

Who'd win in a fight, the Charless de Gaulle battlegroup or India's refitted carrier battlegroup in 2017? (the answer is the French, because Rafale M's uber alles, plus on-board AWACS, plus good sensors versus like 10 serviceable MIG29's, KA31 heliborne AWACS, and the latest missiles being the baseline SA-19 dont match well!) Fun as gently caress scenario-wise though. loving Rafales are god drat beasts, Idk how to handle them with MiG29K's. Even AA-12's arent a huge reassurance. India DOES get one Akula class sub though, but only torpedos so no missiles etc French CIWS is actually very good too since they got that whole Sea Viper upgrade on all their ships. Not US-levels of good, but totally different from the Cold War french.Command loving owns. Dandywalken fucked around with this message at 20:17 on Jul 2, 2015 |

Pimpmust posted:The AI in Supreme Ruler is also *terrible* They also are unable to sell/decomission old units, so performance goes to ABSOLUTE poo poo as the game goes on. They also refuse to upgrade those units tech wise, so France would have most tiles of its nation covered with Half Track Infnatry etc in 1990.

This the right thread for this, I hope? http://store.steampowered.com/app/392470/ Nobunaga's Ambition has a new installment coming out September 1st. I barely remember the earlier titles from my childhood, but I think they were pretty groggy. Or is it more of a Paradox game in terms of complexity?

The complexity level might is accurate because there is actually nothing going on in it.

Is there any way in Flashpoint campaigns: red storm to make your units hold fire until within a certain range/more likely to hit? Had 6 Avengers just exhaust their missiles at a Hind that was 5km out, so no hit chance. Same with Bradleys firing TOW's from 4+km.

Hinds in Flashpoint annoyed the gently caress out of me with their spamming ATGM's on the move versus tanks that for some reason werent firing at 'em at all. They also identified Stinger teams (who had a <5% hit rate) and took them out with rockets a bit too easily. I imagine Apaches would be the same, given they have similar FCS stats in the unit files. Lethality for alot of units just seemed alot less than what most other mediums have shown. Awesome AAR though! Dandywalken fucked around with this message at 22:35 on Dec 13, 2015 |
