Resolved in LWAMI v3.02

++Add passive sound level for active decoys and small active SL for passive decoys

++Increase sensivity of sphere and hull arrays and look at increasing baffle size

++Change E-2 Hawkeye and E-3 Sentry radars to scan full sky

++DIFAR and VLAD balancing fix: change cable length of VLAD to 800/1200, so that the DIFAR becomes prefered buoy for shallow water operations, as is realistic. Also, have increased cable length of DICASS deep to 600ft.

++Increase Torpedo Passive SL and alter sound vs speed thrust values

++MANPAD effectivenes reduced as follows: Stinger 75, SA-8 65, SA-5 60. Can you tell we don't like the Submarine SAM anti-aircraft battery strategy?

++AEGIS ship behavior fix: Fire control radars and CIWSAttack doctrine

++Decrease radar signatures for TASM (45) and Harpoon (40)

++Add updated Missile.txt, CIWSAttack and SubAvoidWeap doctrines to distribution

++correct CIWSAttack and SubAvoidWeap doctrines (move comments) and Missile doctrine (add missing variable declaration)

++Replace UGST on Iranian Kilos with USET-80

++Remove baffle for active intercept

++Streamline installation

++Work on trying to improve SSGN performance (done by mission design)

3++Remove random circle/snake direction for human torpedoes from Torpedo.txt doctrine

3++Decrease buoyancy and deploy speed of MH-60 Dipping sonar to prevent curling (MaHuJa)

3++Set earth curvature flag for major FCR's, FFG and AEGIS

3++Reverse Ming Aft Tubes

3++Change FFG prop. diameter from 3 to 5

3++Rework passive sonars to bring detection ranges back to 1.01 LWAMI 2.03

3++Further editing to SubAtkSub doctrine for more aggressive AI attack behavior, and preliminary reworking of AI submarine torpedo tubes to take advantage of the doctrine for appropriate platforms

3F++Review SubAvoid doctrines to try to decrease likelihood of inappropriate sub evasion, particularly with active sonar pinging

3F++Add qmtasks file from 1.03 to LWAMI database

3F++Change ALFS cable length to 2,550 ft

3F++Redo buoy lengths to match new figures

3F++Look at TA cable length (TB-16 2600 feet Deploys and retrieves in about 2 1/2 min.; TB-23 2950 ft. about 3 mins.; and the TB-29 3300 feet and takes about 3 1/2 min)

3F++Make SW sphere array bearing error consistent with other sonars

3F++Remove Snapshot Flag from Maverick

3F2++Work on SubAtkSub doctrine to try to get more reliable second shots and more aggressive attacking behavior

3F2++Rescale MANPADs to make them more effective and counter that with increased Flare CM effectiveness

3F2++Enable subs as legit targets for Hellfire and add apply Maverick fix to Hellfire magic logic, Maverick and Hellfire now should work the same... correctly

3F2++Remove helos as legit targets for Maverick

3F2++Edits to the Torpedo and TorpHoming doctrines to prevent "spoofed torpedo syndrome"

3F2++Create active sonars of separate non-stock sensitivites and review active SL assignments

3F2++Replaced SET-53 with more capable torpedo for Chinese Kilos: hypothetical Yu-8 (pirated version of USET-80, 16.7KM@45kts with max depth of 475m and an A/P seeker with quality between a MK46 and USET-80)

3F3++Lowered PSL of Chinese and Indian KLUB Kilo Standard to 58 to represent 877EKM version.

3F3++Changed the 27ASM 1st Stage 3-d model back to original cruise missile style

3F3++Enable ships as legit targets for Hellfire Strike and increase damage ability to make it equal to Hellfire ASM

3F3++Added deep TA's for surface ships and submarines

3F3++Added dipping capable sensors to AI FFG helo

3F3++Edits to aircraft doctrines to prevent MAD show truth bug and allow for attack behavior on hostile MAD contacts... this should address the "swarming" problem

3F3++Complete overhaul of AI helo sensors and doctrines RE: dipping sonar

31++Finish replacing Mk54II with MK46AI for airplatforms

31++Fix FFG AI MH60 loadout

31++Refined MH60 Dipping Drop contact conditionals.

32++Fixed MH60 Starboard pylon

32++---Added MAD sensor to Ka-27 Helix

Please post here if you have mentioned something to us before that is not listed here.

Cheers,

This would probably be a low priority, but maybe adding AI platforms to the game, like SSM batteries that fire supersonic missiles, Russian VTOL carriers, etc.

[LuftWolf]

Adding the launchers would be easy, especially because we don't need new 3-d models. So I'll add that one.

In terms of the other ships for which we don't have mods, I'm reluctant to do that at the moment, unless we do it on a large scale, AKA Perscope Depth's Navy Mod. So that might be the next step of the project.

Thanks again!

[TLAM Strike]

Did you review the SSM sensors? IE the IR seekers.

[LuftWolf]

No... was I supposed to?

I don't remember. Sorry.

Please refresh my memory.

[TLAM Strike]

Some of the Supersonic Missiles had IR seekers when they shouldn't (cuz of the heat). I was saying a little research should be done to determin which missiles should have IR seekers since a FFG player has little need for having Flares right now.

[LuftWolf]

Check.

Well, SOME supersonic missiles have IR seekers in RL, like the SM-2 IIIB. So just because it's supersonic doesn't necessarily mean that it won't have an IR seeker.

We'll look at it!

Thanks TLAM!

[TLAM Strike]

[LuftWolf]

Nice!

Thanks again TLAM!

Cheers,
David
