Pacific Strike '85 - Updated and Rebalanced!

Beskrivning
NOTE: As of 23 Dec, this campaign has been totally overhauled with balance changes and a complete rework of Mission 5!

---

PACIFIC STRIKE is a 10-part mission set for Sea Power depicting a fictional Chinese and Soviet attack into the western Pacific at the height of the Cold War in 1985. Command the USS Scott (DDG-995) and surface Task Group 77.3 in various operations during the opening offensive.

Missions:

Part 1

Mission 1: Raid on Okinawa

A Soviet commando raid on Okinawa is underway. Using a commandeered merchant ore carrier for cover, the commando force is within sight of the islands. A separate strike force of warships sortied from Ningbo yesterday afternoon. Proceed west from Kerama Retto and destroy the incoming enemy forces before they reach the island.

Mission 2: Action in the Taiwan Strait

The Chinese have seized the initiative and launched an invasion of Taiwan. Sortie from Miyako-jima with your surface task group and prevent the invasion force from reaching Taipei.

Mission 3: Running the Palawan Passage

Detached from Okinawa, TG 77.3 must head south to join the defense of Singapore. Run the Palawan Passage to reach Sandakan for resupply. Heavy submarine opposition is expected.

Mission 4: Sunda Strait

Singapore has fallen. Your depleted Task Group is attempting to escape the Java Sea after being nearly destroyed during the enemy offensive into Indonesia. Run the Sunda Strait and escape to open ocean to live to fight another day.

Mission 5: Strike on the Monster

With Allied forces pushed back to Australia, enemy forces are moving south to threaten Darwin. The Kirov surface group was sighted by satellite reconnaissance in the Timor Sea. Make use of every Allied naval asset in theater to sink the Kirov and her escorts.

Part 2

Mission 6: Raid on Balikpapan

With enemy forces in Indonesia on the back foot after the sinking of Kirov, TG 77.3 has been tasked to raid the captured oil facilities at Balikpapan in the Makassar Strait. Proceed north to capture the offshore platforms in the Sepinggan field and then bombard the refining complex and storage facilities ashore. Enemy air and surface opposition is expected.

Mission 7: Vengeance at Sandakan

The Allied counterattack is underway. Conduct an anti-surface sweep north of Borneo and land a Marine Amphibious Unit at Sandakan to establish a foothold in the Allied drive towards the Philippines.

Mission 8: Hunt for the Cruiser

After the capture of Sandakan, the Slava SAG has been reported somewhere in the Sulu Sea. Intel assumes the SAG has orders to attack and destroy the Allied beachhead. Take command of the US submarines in the vicinity to locate and destroy the SAG.

Mission 9: Defense of North Borneo

The destruction of the Slava and her surface group have bought the Allies some time to consolidate their gains in Borneo. However, a second enemy strike is underway. Take charge of the meager Allied forces at Sandakan to repel an air and surface strike. Make use of captured enemy equipment if necessary.

Mission 10: Strike on Manila

Spies have reported the Soviet carrier Kiev is immobilized in Manila Bay with an engine casualty. Raid the harbor and sink her at her moorings. CINCPAC believe this operation could end the war if carried out successfully. Good luck.

Other notes: I was able to get F4 Phantoms in range with AIM7E missiles to kill the Tu-95 before it could spot my ships. The P3C also makes for a passable substitute for AWACS. The first wave of Harpoons my A6s launched didn't get through, but I got lucky and almost every single Harpoon (12/16 or so) got through to hit Kirov during the second sortie. After that, it was just a matter of cleaning up her escorts and finding the sub hiding to our north.

Hi. Just wanted to say that Mission 5 is the most challenging I've played in this game yet. I immediately lost four times in a row before mentioning offhandedly to the people I was in Discord with that of course the Soviets would shoot us immediately, as my ships were the only others sailing in formation out there. I immediately loaded in and dispersed my ships for the next run, which caused the Soviets to hold fire. From a cursory glance through the comments here, it looks like I'm not the only one who had this idea, either. Using this strategy, you can buy enough time for a Harpoon strike using the craft at the base.

As others say, some of the missions are exceptionally difficult. I've just skipped over the ones where the first ship to sink is a key asset of mine, missiles eventually get through and the mission is over. A lot of these seem to be VERY stacked against the player.

@cowpooflyby no I get it... I've really been wanting to update this pack for the game but just haven't had time. In the meantime just skip the mission OR break up the formation and send them on different headings right away at mission start so you arent automatically classified and shot at!

sorry i posted this right after i failed like 4 times... i was angry

@Cowpooflyby - this mission pack is over a year old at this point, the recent AI changes have made mission 5 impossible unless you follow the instructions a few comments down from yours...

I would like to update this mission pack but have had to focus on reworking the base game missions and the team's work on new carrier mechanics and AI. Cheers

cant even get past mission 1....
not a single missle hit.

@Ian cheers for all the work with this, I thought I was doing something wrong on mission 5, those Kirovs are BRUTAL with the AI change
LMPT 9 nov @ 11:55 
Mission 5 is somewhat winnable. The solution is to disband the formation as soon as mission starts, and disperse the ships on various headings and speeds to confuse the AI into thinking you're random trafic. Engage the Tu-95 with SM-2ERs as soon as practical.

Not ideal, but it is what it is.

Am I detecting Battlestations midway references here?
