Thoughts on New Mission Idea?

Stewy1 · 10-21-23, 04:41 AM

G'day guys,

Just wanted to get some feedback about what you might like to see in a new mission I'm planning. I wanted to set it in the Red Sea, with Sudan as the main focus. Here are some options I'm weighing up:

1. Set in 1980s Cold War or Present Day Civil War? (688 or Virginia?) Should I even try a Russian boat??
2. Submarine mission or Perry mission? (There are different mission opportunities with each)
3. More 'sneaky reconnaissance' tasks or more 'shooting and blasting' tasks or a bit of both? If both, what ratio? 25:75?
4. Most of my missions go for roughly 4-5 days - too long? Just right? Shorter? (the longer the mission, the more triggers that can bug out and need to be tested)

I really could do all of the options above, and I'm not too fussy. I can't keep everyone happy, but it'd be interesting to see what people prefer.

No word on release date, probably a couple of months at the least...

Cheers guys,
Stew

Stew;
Just IMO, but in my experience of uploading stuff for Flight Sim, people usually don't care about having an input.
Come up with a good scenario, debug it, and post it.

Then wait for all the complaints to show up.

Sudan sounds interesting, but what about the Gulf of Sidra in the 1980's?

Thanks Bob for that - wise words as always - on both your points!

I agree too that a Gulf of Sidra mission would be cool. I've got a couple of books on it and the Libya map is all ready to go! I'll do some research and thinking!

Thanks Bob, you're a legend!

As I mentioned in Ukraine #2, long transits aren't that fun. If it's broken into parts with a campaign, you could move the sub/ship to the next location, just assumed we did the transit.

In Ukraine 2 I was hoping to get my fire control back, so personally I'd like some fire missions.
