Still watching the video so not sure if this will be addressed later, but FYI, the prowlers you have airborne at the beginning also have shrikes so they can do DEAD, not just SEAD. You don’t have to wait for the A7s. Also, again, this may be addressed later, but I didn’t see you check the ships in your CSG for tomahawks.
He briefly mentioned it at 03:45 but he did not scroll through the entire group. Does game have a single screen that shows all units in a group and their loadouts / systems?
@@Delgalar I also noticed he keeps his planes in full afterburner which is a disadvantage in combat.... at least when heading toward the enemy, He did ok with the Mig 25s but I think its ok to hit the pause button from time to time and see what the hell is going on from time to time.
22:50 Two Harpoons into a Zhuk is peak overkill lmao (even more so than Stealth's apparent favorite pastime of blowing up Pegasus-class missile hydrofoils with SS-N-19s, sometimes more than one of them), its only weapons are a pair of twin 14.5mm machine guns and I doubt it even has passive antimissile defenses. You could probably have nailed it with a single SAM operating in anti-surface mode.
I bought this game the moment it came out, and I'm in love! This was a great mission. I've built a couple of carrier missions so far myself. Next up missile cruiser duel!
Something that annoys me a lot, and i've seen it in many videos, is the way formations works. As for now, it seems that you can't engage multiple targets in a smart manner. Take that 3 sam sites you engaged with the A7's. You should be able to select the formation and order them to engage with 2 missiles by target, and they would sort out who shoot what, then go back to the last waypoint assigned. I feel it very frustrating to have to take them by the hand and guide them one by one towards their target. Do they plan to keep it that way?
I read this morning someone saying you can hold down left shift or left control, cannot remember which, and click on each aircraft in your chosen flight on the map and then right click on different enemy targets. A quick way to give separate targets to aircraft or even ships it the same flight or group .Cannot say I saw that when reading the manual but he swears it works. Have not played today so cannot guarantee but might be worth having a look at.
Any chance the devs will replace the “speak all the digits” altitude callout with “angels,” when the altitude is a whole-thousand? Listening to “altitude two - zero - zero - zero - zero” over and over again … just say “angels twenty.”

You have a tendency to fly your helicopters at 6000 feet where 1000 would be quite sufficient and make them less of a target for AAMs
Can't they see further the higher up?
@@Focusonbehind Indeed they can, but at 1000ft they can see far enough for the SAM sites and still have time to hit the deck if fired on.

Missile sites. "They're Dead Jim!"
