Cold Waters: Tactics & Tips + printable key reference

[Delgard]

I don't use TASMs and only load TLAMs when told to. I just load about 5-6 Harpoons to use on support ships after I eliminate the escorts. The only missions for TLAMs are static and not time sensitive.

I found that TASMs would be shot down and I would be exposed to enemy air. Even with the Harpoons, I have to deal with enemy air but I am getting better at exiting the area. I just avoid using missiles.

The scenarios, I hope they get developed so that neutrals and worthless enemy targets (trawlers, etc.) are involved. I am thinking that sub tenders, resupply ships get a higher point value than their escorts. I am trying to conserve ammo by only going after critical targets in those cases.

Another thing is the awards system; I get the seven different awards on the first seven missions, then it is caput for receiving. I have not stepped up to the "ultimate" level, but I don't think that should necessarily affect awards. The MoH I lend to campaign completion with tonnage, ammo, and critical targets emphasized. Maybe there are other considerations like not killing neutrals.

I still don't see "many" enemy commanders shooting back down the line of bearing in defense and surface escorts launching missiles to cause me to break wires. As a commander, I launch quickly at any potential, especially if their is a torpedo in the water coming after my responsibilities. Just thinking...

yea!! their response is very sample its like a 6 years boy is a Escort Commander i remember in a mission there were a convoy with 5 escort 2 on back 3 on front they were head to head with me i select escorts one by one and hit them hard they could see I was destroying each of them one after time but their best response was search around sunken ships with normal speed like normal patrol and finaly i sunk them too.
