GeorgeCostanza -> New Scenario to Test: Battle of the Bass Strait (8/8/2016 11:50:03 AM)

Hello everybody, I have for you for my very first scenario, in what I would call it's Beta stage. It is indeed my first attempt at a scenario so any critique would be great. I would like to thank Gunner98 and his awesome missions for inspiring me to make my own.
I've designed the scenario to be mildly challenging and hopefully dramatic in its briefing/opening. Once again give me any feedback and I'll apply it in fixes across the week [8D]

Current Version: 0.5

V0.5 Hotfix:
- Increased SAM count on TG 89.1/2

V0.4 Hotfix:
- Fixed Errors in the Intro
- Fixed Spelling, Grammar and Errors in the brief (Cheers Gunner)

V0.3
- Fixed ANZUS Points
- Renamed one commander
- Added more ASF to the Liaoning
- Improved Air Defence of King Island and Launceston AB
- Added Air Defence for RAAF Point Cook

0.2 Fix:
- Fixed Point Cook RAAF Runway
- Fixed King Island Airport
- Fixed Kingscote Airport
- Touched up Scoring (including Subs now as well)
- Greatly reduced Tomahawk count
- Added Escorts for the A-50s
- Added a few more ready Fighters at the beginning for ANZUS
- Increased Chinese Bomber and Attack plane numbers
- Reduced SAM on Task Groups 89.1 and 89.2
- Added another HQ-61A at the ASM Site




Excroat3 -> RE: New Scenario to Test: Battle of the Bass Strait (8/8/2016 4:52:36 PM)

Love the briefing and the dialogue! Just started the scenario, and here are a few pointers:

The runway at Point Cook is 1400m, and the E-737s need at least 2100m to take off, so right now they can never leave the base.
Might want to make more CAP aircraft available at start, I was overwhelmed by fighters after my first 2 planes would RTB and the Chinese kept coming
No points for destroying subs?
Might also want to lower the tomahawk count, I just kept lobbing them at the Chinese ground defenses until they ran out of SAM
Some escort for that Chinese AWACS would be helpful, as its extremely exposed currently.
The KC-130Js cannot find a taxiway to take off from for some reason
Checked the editor, and the H-6Gs at Kingscote can't find a taxiway either

Just finished, good job making this one!
Other than the beginning when I was short of CAP, this scenario was not too difficult. Any bombers that leaked past my fighters were taken care of by those extremely long ranged SAMs. If you want to increase difficulty, you could add more Chinese fighters, remove ANZUS fighters, lower ANZUS SAM counts, or a mixture of all 3. This was my score at scenario end, and I went on to finish off the Chinese carrier group.

GeorgeCostanza -> RE: New Scenario to Test: Battle of the Bass Strait (8/8/2016 10:47:47 PM)

Cheers for the feedback Excroat, I should be able to hop in and apply those fixes this afternoon and put up a new version, many thanks!



GeorgeCostanza -> RE: New Scenario to Test: Battle of the Bass Strait (8/8/2016 11:36:49 PM)

Alright based of feedback I've put together some fixes. I assume there will still be some problems with it that I'm trying to root out. Any more feedback on improvements overall and gameplay fixes will be greatly appreciated. I'll attach the new version to the original post.

V0.2
- Fixed Point Cook RAAF Runway
- Fixed King Island Airport
- Fixed Kingscote Airport
- Touched up Scoring (including Subs now as well)
- Greatly reduced Tomahawk count
- Added Escorts for the A-50s
- Added a few more ready Fighters at the beginning for ANZUS
- Increased Chinese Bomber and Attack plane numbers
- Reduced SAM on Task Groups 89.1 and 89.2
- Added another HQ-61A at the ASM Site



Gunner98 -> RE: New Scenario to Test: Battle of the Bass Strait (8/9/2016 2:59:30 AM)

Giving this one a go. Plays very nice, just fending off the oncoming A2A and A2S ftrs at the moment. Going well but still burning up a lot of AMRAAMs on the Flying Sharks.

One problem noticed. Points are awarded not deducted when an ANZUS AC is shot down:


2016-02-03 8:34 PM: Score changed from 180 to 195. Reason: Event Action: 'PLA Aircraft Destroyed' has been fired (part of Event: 'PLA Aircraft Destroyed')

2016-02-03 8:34 PM: Score changed from 195 to 225. Reason: Event Action: 'ANZUS AC Lost' has been fired (part of Event: 'ANZUS Aircraft Lost')

2016-02-03 8:38 PM: Score changed from 225 to 240. Reason: Event Action: 'PLA Aircraft Destroyed' has been fired (part of Event: 'PLA Aircraft Destroyed')

GeorgeCostanza -> RE: New Scenario to Test: Battle of the Bass Strait (8/9/2016 3:09:14 AM)

Thanks for that, I'll touch that up along with some more improvements in a few hours with V0.3



GeorgeCostanza -> RE: New Scenario to Test: Battle of the Bass Strait (8/9/2016 8:30:31 AM)

Some more fixes. I'll attach the new version to the original post.

V0.3
- Fixed ANZUS Points
- Renamed one commander
- Added more ASF to the Liaoning
- Improved Air Defence of King Island and Launceston AB
- Added Air Defence for RAAF Point Cook



magi -> RE: New Scenario to Test: Battle of the Bass Strait (8/10/2016 3:56:29 AM)

i am enjoying this.... am pleased you made the above mentioned improvements... it seams to me that group 89.1 & 89.2 could have a few more sam's also......



GeorgeCostanza -> RE: New Scenario to Test: Battle of the Bass Strait (8/10/2016 4:16:32 AM)

I'll go back and revise the SAM numbers for V0.5, keep an eye out for it in the next 24 hours



magi -> RE: New Scenario to Test: Battle of the Bass Strait (8/10/2016 5:24:18 AM)

okidokie.... thanks....



magi -> RE: New Scenario to Test: Battle of the Bass Strait (8/11/2016 5:51:17 AM)

got a message... need to check your flight size on missions off the liaoing... make flt size 2 instead of 4....

i just looked.... i think 4 units is the way you want it....

i wouldnt mind some asm's and harms at point cook and king island.... i didnt notice that all the harpoons were at launceston till now.... that was a mistake... i should have retired aircraft there after their ata missions.... i should have checked but you might want to put that in the brief....

Magi a lot of the ammunition choices were made in the interest of balance, I didn't want to give a plethora of missiles so as to make targeting more tactical

This was one of the things I really liked about the scenario, I destroyed the last Chinese ship of the CVBG with Mavericks because I was out of everything else [:D]

Rory Noonan -> RE: New Scenario to Test: Battle of the Bass Strait (8/27/2016 5:19:37 AM)

Finally got some free time to play this. Had a blast, thank you very much.

My only suggestions for improvement are perhaps changing WCS / WRA / opportunity targets for the surface vessels; once the enemy aircraft were out of the way I was able to attack the surface groups with submarines and surface vessels with near impunity.

The air battle, however, was a challenge! I particularly liked that I needed to manage my resources carefully early in the mission.

Next play through I won't be so careless with my ISR aircraft!

Almost forgot - The PRC subs have their radar set to 'active', this is how I found them and killed them quite early in the mission. SSP 039 Yuan's plotted course also takes it into very shallow water (~30ft, well into broaching depth) off Flinders Island, making it easy to detect.



GeorgeCostanza -> RE: New Scenario to Test: Battle of the Bass Strait (8/30/2016 10:41:59 AM)

Thanks mate, will try to stick those improvements in this week, gotta find the time though [:@]
