From what I have been reading and what is being reported, it would seem that this is the first operational success of Phalanx CIWS by a U.S. warship. (During Operation Desert Storm, the Phalanx CIWS on the USS Jarrett (FFG-33), operating in automatic target-acquisition mode during an Iraqi Silkworm ...

Just think, only a few years ago, they were removing Phalanx systems from DDGs. Usually when something like this happens, it is eventually found out that human decision-making was the root cause for a near-disaster. Someone misreading vectors, misreading intent, not having a specific arming switch ...

Depending on reason, we may never know (really, be told).

Updated reporting but few additional details

Reported in the news just now: QUOTE A cruise missile launched by the Houthis into the Red Sea on Tuesday night came within a mile of a United States destroyer before it was shot down, four US officials told CNN, the closest a Houthi attack has come to a US warship. In the past, these missiles have ...

But thats not on the datablock? I thought thats what you were looking for. Data block would be nice of course, but my question was not limited to data blocks. I asked if there is "a way to show OR a data block that shows." (Yes, I only say data block in the topic, there are a limited numb...

Is there a way to show or a data block that shows the time to an individual waypoint at present speed? Select the waypoint and then bring up the Throttle and Altitude menu (F2 or one of the GUI options will all work). It will tell you both the DTG and the TTG and fuel qty required. Thanks! This exa...

I did not, thanks. I maintain it would be nice for the data block to include the time to destination. I would rather have that than the Local Time at the selected point.

I might be missing something, but isn't it just dist/speed? It is. But distances are shown only when plotting the course, I think. They disappear once the course is plotted. After that, you need to use the Range/Bearing tool and do the calculation. And, if there are multiple waypoints, you need to ...

Is the Operations Planner / Strike Planner limited to aircraft missions or can it be used to plan and execute a coordinated strike using missiles launched from different ships and submarines? Looking to have coordinated strike so that missiles launched from different vessels in different locations/d...

The Range/Bearing tool is great, but it would be nice to immediately see how long it will take a ship, submarine or aircraft to get to a particular waypoint at present speed.

Sounds similar to the issue I reported here https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/view ... fe90ac9fad

Hello All, I recently did a clean install up to 1.06.1328.8. I had been able to use CMO just fine until a scenario reached the point in the attached save. The game froze entirely and I had to close CMO through the Task Manager. (Task Manager - Power Usage "Very High.") I started CMO again ...

I will de-lurk to say both that I played the Downfall scenario at length and am looking forward to the update. I also experienced oddities with air group resizing in the middle of the game.

Keep up the good work!
