Connie and Qatif, 1980 -- REVISED scenario, please review

[Mgellis]

This is a revised version of Connie and Qatif, 1980. I believe I have fixed the polygon error. I have also made a few minor tweaks and improvements. Please take a look and let me know if it is working properly, if anything else could be improved, etc. Thanks!

Version 2 uploaded 11:30 PM EST 5/11/16

Is the revised version ready to be sent to the Community Scenario Pack? Thanks.

Anyone try this one yet? Not trying to be a pest...I just don't want to post it and then find out there is something wrong with it. Thanks.

I'll try to get around to try some of your revised missions as i never played these to begin with, i'll get back to you Mgellis.

Edit:
I personally don't like absolute failure states in a large scale engagement like this, i got a harpoon attack one of my destroyers and the mission was over the first playthrough, working on a second playthrough.
Edit2: Might have been me ignoring orders and attacking Iran (i like to see if i can break orders in missions) actually.

Conclusion:
Very hard mission
Very good míssion
Don't like instant failure if losing a ship in such a large scale fight, just let it reflect on the score instead.
There is 3 iranian radars quite literally in the middle of the ocean next to Towers and Fife.

Also, amazingly the Queenfish missed all 15 torpedoes against a damaged ship.

Ack! Apparently some of the changes I made did not save. Version 2 with the changes saved (I hope) has been uploaded. Please give it a try and let me know what you think. Thanks.

I don't quite like the grouping which includes a SAM site, SA-5C of Bandar-e-Abbas. Because when I play in Group View, it does not show me the SAM range circle. I have to switch to unit view to see enemy SAM ranges.

That, unfortunately, I can't do anything about. I just used the import files for Iranian EW and AD. Sorry!

(Interestingly, the SAM range circles do show up, if you zoom out enough. But they disappear when you zoom in. I'm not sure why that is true, unless it is a function of the grouping of multiple SAM sites in the import file.)
