Update: beat this mission with no losses on second try. In terms of tactics, this mission is actually really interesting.

So apparently I'm not the only one with this issue, but finding the Victor SSNs is for some reason nigh-impossible. Sank the entire surface force out of nowhere, couldn't find them despite sweeping the whole area with ASW aircraft and sailing my own sub through the area where one of the torpedoes came from.

Other than that, pretty fun scenario.

updade: I had the same problem as everyone.. Subwarfare is quinda ruinning my games, other combat are fun but subs and torps kinde dont make any sense to me

I had the same problem Stoinker had... Tarawa hit by a stealth torpedo from behind. I couldnt find it even with my sub and more than 4 buoys

Oh man.equipped every air asset possible with sonar buoys and searched for over an for that second sub before quitting. It got my sub, my landing ship and frigate. First, it flanked my sub and then had to have moved at least 70km before shooting my escort head on (from the landing zone) . I plastered everything with buoys and random torpedos but couldnt find it. Even the surface ships were kind of hard for me (their CIWS intercepted every harpoon/AGM/Penguin I shot at them. Had to drop multiple bombs ontop of them). Only the first sub was kind of easy for me but Im also a noob and probably got lucky.
Overall, it was alot of flying between the Ships/air base and the AO, alot of slow driving and then 15 minutes of getting absolutelydestroyed by torpedos that out appear 2nm in front of you. I dont know if the AI is capable of steering torpedos in deceptive ways or what was going on here.
But it was still great fun and I will try again!

Man, cleared everything, plastered the entire area from the fleet to the landing zone with sonar bouys. No sub. Then the Tarawa randomly got hit by a Torpedo from behind.
Then I spend half an hour trying to find that sub and then I dropped like a total of 20 torpedos at it... it evaded them all, but one. But it didn't even care for beeing hit and just kept on going, evading every torpedo... My Tarawa crawling at 5kts... Then I Alt-F4'd
I know it's problebly not the scenarious fault, but wtf is up with invincible subs????

if you take too long the get to the AO the subs waiting for you there will raise snorkels to recharge. thats how i found them

am i the only one that didnt really have all that much problems finding the subs? i admit i was surprised by the sub by the stranded merchant but i still found it. i have to say tho i must have dropped nearly enough buoys for the marries to walk to the shore without getting their socks wet.

second submarine... you too bad bruh

Radar is friendly!

Well, I made it there, but the flight deck is rekt. I was only able to detect a sub and sink it but not before it pretty much mission killed the carrier. A later sub attack sunk the Ticonderoga. Very tough time finding the subs despite a boatload of buoys and my sub and asw frigate.

I assume i couldn't complete it because the flight deck was out?

Yeah I just lost the landing ship to subs. I had 4 ASW choppers and 2 P-3s flying low using magnetic anomaly detectors and dropping buoys and I couldn't find them. I even clacked off torpedoes in random directions and got no hits. My sub couldn't find them either, alternated between low speeds and high to see if I could hear them.

@CarlOfHodgy - Curious. I already lowered the sea state to make detection easier.

This is fun but 4 tries and havent picked up the subs once loose all 3 ships even my sub isnt picking them up if i run it in ahead

Update:
- Lowered sea state
- Fixed landing position trigger

The landing trigger doesn't seem to work in this mission.

Ok I'll lower the sea state

must pile-on. either the game needs to tweak the detect on the bouys or change the sea-state. Had enough sonar bouys to not get my feet wet from the group to the landing zone. Still took torps. Overall fun setup but probably won't replay knowing the subs aren't possible to find in time and I already know where to look now

Hi !!
It's a cool mission but with a sea state at 9 (Sea too noisy)... Impossible to detect the 2 subs. I've launch more than 200 Sonobouy and unable to detect them.
i've take 4 torp in my ass like in your YT video ^^^

Really good but those subs are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ lol, i have NO idea how they get behind me as I drench the area in buoys non-stop.

Great scenario!

Excelente! Lo presentaré en mi canal! Gracias por el trabajo :)
