<t> It seems to me the UI response is sluggish in 1.11 compared to previous releases. E.g.:<br/> <br/> - Clicking start/resume seems to take almost a second to respond<br/> - Windows popping up, such as the mission editor, take more than half a second to pop up<br/> - The elevation number in the cur...

<t> Group310 has just been going around and around in circles for the last few minutes. It is as if it cannot figure out how to bring his nose onto the target, better just extend a little bit more, and a little bit more, and ...<br/> <br/> This is with 1.11 RC2, but I have seen this in several previ...

<t> In the attached sandbox scenario groups of aircraft engage a couple SA-10 batteries.<br/> <br/> Note how the target uncertainty zones are moving all over the place. In particular, sometimes the uncertainty zone is not covering the actual target location. As a result the attacking aircraft will s...

Sure, but the mass and the displacement are still coupled by, e.g., the targeted reserve buoyancy. If the mass is lower the volume can be made smaller and the displacement is thereby reduced.

<t> Do you find helos at tens of miles from the lead ship to be effective? I find that when trying to search such a large area with short range dipping sonar the search density gets too low and the risk of subs leaking through is too high.<br/> My thinking is that since effective torpedo range is li...

<r> The reference I mention above (published in 2004) states as the reason for the titanium hull (page 141):<br/> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>Compared to steel, titanium provided a number of advantages in Project 705:<br/> - 30 percent lower mass<br/> - 25 percent lower displacement<br/> - 10 percent incre...

<t> According to later sources (such as Polmar & Moore, "Cold War Submarines") the Alfa's legendary deep diving capability was a misinterpretation by Western intelligence services. The purpose of the titanium hull was to decrease weight and increase speed, not to reach extreme depths. Even the W...

Well yes of course, a generational model as such is perfect. What constitutes an accurate generational model, that is the tricky thing... If I do come across any data that looks useful I will forward it.

<r> You can also get a glimpse through things like MIL-STD-188-125-1: (warning, incredibly dull! [8D])<br/> <LINK link="http://www.wbdg.org/ccb/FEDMIL/std188_125_1.pdf"><s>[link=http://www.wbdg.org/ccb/FEDMIL/std188_125_1.pdf]</s>http://www.wbdg.org/ccb/FEDMIL/std188_125_1.pdf<e>[/link]</e></LINK><b...

<t> Yes EMP will fry all those things if they are unprotected... So will a good ESD pulse from touching them with your finger. But how susceptible is properly EMP protected equipment from a high altitude nuclear EMP pulse? "Not at all" is the current Command modeling, and that is not quite what I wo...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s> What criteria makes it assume an ARM? Specifically in your example, your proposal could see a surface ship detect an inbound missile (a harpoon for example) and classify it as an ARM, then shut down the fire control and air search radars. This would not improve survivabilit...

<t> This is all very cool.<br/> <br/> But isn't modern (= designed in the last 50 years) military equipment provided with increasingly effective EMP protection?<br/> <br/> I could well be wrong, and I do not have any solid data to back it up (where is the solid data?), but my impression was that "hi...

Not sure where the v1.10 release party will be held... But if it was around here I would totally buy you guys a round. [:)] Your stuff is awesome.

<t> You could also see it like this: If I as a casual weekend warrior Command player can figure out that an incoming target is most likely an ARM, why would a professional well trained SAM radar operator not be able to draw the same conclusion? [:)]<br/> <br/> Setting weapons Hold, drop all targets ...

<t> A big problem with sub comms modeling along the lines of "no comms at deep depth and let the AI control it with missions" is that it reduces the submarine to an intelligent mine field. You cannot use it for surveillance and intelligence gathering anymore since it won't tell you if it detects som...

<t> Weapon mounts sometimes reload at very unfortunate moments, it seems like they want to reload as soon as that mount is no longer full. The effect is that a mount with, say, 6 rounds, effectively become a single round mount, since it tries to reload as soon as it has used the first round. With re...

How about a behavior, controlled by a setting, to have aircraft automatically divert to any available runway if refueling is looking sketchy and they are below bingo for their home base?

Yes I get this as well, perhaps 1 - 5% of the time. I have never been able to pinpoint why it happens or been able to reproduce it so I never mentioned it here, but it happens.

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>I understand that Shrikes can't target the Radar Illuminators - but aren't Spoon Rests a more 'ordinary' search radar? <e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE> <br/> To my understanding it is the other way around - Shrike was developed specifically to take out SAM and AAA fire control radars...

<t> Another one that might interest you, and that is indeed made to be a training scenario, is my Carrier Battle Group ASW Test scenario. At the time there were not many scenarios that employed nuclear weapons in a naval setting (there are some others now, notably the Northern Inferno campaign). But...
