I love this scenario, it shows off the importance of ECM and decoys in modern warfare, which has been essential in just about every modern conflict since Vietnam and the Yom Kippur War.
Liking the CMO videos! Got a bit lost in the first one and never quite got into it, but this looks much better - good seeing how someone plays it too. Cheers
Glad you liked it! I too got pretty lost in the first game. It is kind of amazing how much I ended up remembering though. Haha. This one is much more streamlined. Makes learning much easier.
Now I am really curious how you will find the submarines in this game. I gave it a try today but from watching Cold Waters compared to my gameplay. I really recommend you start of with the tutorials because they explain how sonar works here. And I find it very different compared to Cold Waters. I will give you a hint on how to ID an enemy in these scenarios (very safely and I mean air and surface scenarios). Sometimes they emit radar, if it is Generic navigational radar you are safe (I did not see a hostile using that - yet!). If it is beeping something else (depending on contact especially search radars can be easily identified even passively). In this case they were blinking some Rangout FCR (firecontrol) surface to surface search radar. Anyway keep it up! This simulation is not easy. And I am glad to see how someone elses mind works on this, I hope you make it to Desert Storm. I will keep you posted on what I have figured out during my 100 hours of gameplay if I see some hints you might be missing. Cheers!
Yes, this game is kind of a sequel to various versions of Larry Bond's Harpoon, albeit (if my understanding is correct) developed by a different company.
Tee hee. The developers all got fed up with Harpoon's "missing" bits and just decided to do something better that used a computer's potential to model things like satellites. EDIT: Most of them were regular posters on "HarpoonHQ", if you ever logged in there you might recognize some of the developers names.
The reason they was still engaging the Styx was because of all the civilian traffic the missiles might of locked onto and put in danger. That would be a blackeye if anyone of them might of taken a round and the Israeli's didn't try to at least put a stop to them.
How did the algorithm take this long to show me this video? I swear I've been subscribed for over a year, but I never saw this video until now. A shame, too; this game always interested me, and watching you play it is probably the best way to get a look at it.
Seems a little overkill to use more than one missile on a PT boat. I think the sub hunt will be a great mission. You're sort of experienced with modern ASW efforts due to your Cold Waters playthroughs.
Hmm, the mission has that the INS Mivtach had gabriel ssm's. In fact, it did not. It was the only one of the ships to not carry any, whereas the Ga'ash, Reshef, Mznak and Hanit did.
Hey! Will you be playing some more Il-2 tobruk? This game deserves some love! The amount of work that went intoo it for such a small team, it's incredible! Maybe a campaign?
Great simple scenario thank you! I really enjoyed watching it. I’m guessing the Syrians have no way of wining if you switch sides - which I guess is why this is more a simulation and less a game. I understand in RL the Syrians were still docked when they fired their first missiles ... and hit some neutral merchants. Thanks again I enjoy your channel.
Sorry mate, there’s just not enough tension or visual gravitas to keep me hooked on this one. I can understand the appeal if I was playing it, but I can’t get invested. The main thing is that you enjoy it, though and you clearly do. Still looking forward to the rest of your content, though,
Talk about overkill, using a missile on a MTB. Edit: Two now for a MTB, damn. Guess you had more than enough missiles to finish the job though. Set up a battle between a USN surface task group and a Russian surface group with their battlecruiser if its in the game. Be curious to see how that would go

That is for sure.

Thanks for the tips! I am interested in trying out the subs so this is all useful.
Thanks for your help!
@@Wolfpack345 Operation Lions Den in Gulf of Tonkin next? :)
This so reminds me of playing Harpoon about 25 years ago. Might have to check this one out.

Hi, I am enjoying this. Think I will enjoy watching you do it rather than playing myself.
Glad you like it! I know it is pretty different than the usual content.
A really good scenario to start with is canary's cage, it is somewhat complicated so it is good to do the tutorials first
I'll take a look!
Definitivamente sí lo es. Pronto subiré algo sobre él.
More C:MO vids, Wolfie!
More!

Fantastic point! I actually think it is something you can toggle as well. Your reasoning makes perfect sense though.

I really should go back to it

You do make it look easy. Job well done.
Thanks!

i hope you keep up there seres i really do like the command games.
perhaps you will get in to the much larger scenarios yet.
I can see it happening!

Wish you had TacView active! wonder how that fights would have looked like^^
Something I think I may pick up soon!
Hello.
Cracking series starting. Question, can you zoom into each boat?

please more of this
Mint video
Thanks!
It looks like an upgrade old harpoon 360
It seems OK for a strategic style game but I miss the tactical ship style action. Too bad they don't have a missile launch view onboard the ships.
They do - it is a DLC tho... called Tacview.
@@MichalProzac TacView is awesome! Especially because he could use that for basically every flight sim he plays on this channel
Hey Wolfpack345 I got the silent hunter 5 to work in my laptop!!!
Neat!

I understand it is not for everyone. Thanks for watching anyway! Other content won't slow down.

There are some scenarios like that! I'll check them out. I may stick with some smaller stuff for the time being though :)
Finally got the money together to buy cmo but gib moar pls
I'll try to upload more soon!
