Command Modern Air and Naval Operations - Missile Chess
It is awesome when a combat simulation mirrors the shortcomings and challenges of real warfare. This blog is just about that, by the way.
Anyway, this weekend I got some quality time with Command Modern Air and Naval Operations (CMANO) and played my first scenario involving a modern carrier battle group.
This Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carrier battle group is more than a sideline show for the Operation Brass Drum scenario. |

ArmA 3 - Attack on a Prepared Position - Briefing
What does the suppression feature do on enemy MGs in bunkers?
In this solo mission the player goes through a prepared enemy (ENY) position that has MGs in bunkers. The ENY MGunners can't go prone or crouch (I've set them to not do that) and I have AI NATO MGs firing on them. Some NATO mortars are firing on them too. It doesn't escape to me that my use of the "prepared" term is not strict, but if you have read about the Malvinas/Falklands War you will understand that mounting a decent defense in an island is not a trivial matter.

The ENY position is in that hill upfront. Note the mortar fire falling on it. The tracers are from NATO MGs, which are targeting the ENY bunkers. |

DCS: Mig-15bis - My First Kill
With Eagle Dynamics holding a store wide sale right now, the time is auspicious to dust off one story I had in the file cabinet.
A true combat aviation classic has found a virtual home in DCS World. Made by third party company Belsimtek, the digital bird has very few buttons not implemented. With great flight, avionics and weapons models, the hard earned kills you get flying the Mig are to be savored over and over. Thanks for the track recording feature, Eagle Dynamics!
The cockpit of my Mig-15bis. What a beauty. |

Combat Mission Black Sea - The Unfair Death of PFC Roller and The Predictable Demise of Most of His Squad
SPOILER ALERT: these two micro-stories are from a canned CMBS scenario. I will not mention the name of the scenario and avoid birds-eye views of the battlefield, but I recognize that you may realize which scenario is this from.
Arma 3 Now Has Built In AI Suppression
There were and there are third party mods for AI suppression. From the videos that I've seen, one could argue that those work better than the new Arma 3 built in suppression features. But I am happy to see all these goodies slowly creeping into plain vanilla Arma 3.
In this very simple custom, single player setup I am about to make contact with an enemy rifleman. |

Thinking of Becoming a Paratrooper? - Combat Mission Market Garden AAR
... You better be a gifted tactician because firepower may not be an asset you can count for most of the battles.
Excellent stock scenario from Combat Mission Market Garden module. This scenario is about the fight of B Company around the Heumen Bridge. By the way, I wrote a Command Ops blog entry about this Regiment a few weeks back.
Men from the 1st Platoon, B Company, 504 Parachute Infantry Regiment move towards the Heumen Bridge. |
IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad - I Came Here Just for the Maps
There is so much bad feelings around Battle of Stalingrad among long time flight simmers that is almost contagious. Due to my age, I limit my bitching to ten minutes a day (barely enough to deal with co-workers) and I try to enjoy the games as they are and not trying to vent about what they are not.
To my surprise, a flight simulator that at the beginning I didn't care too much about is becoming a staple in my virtual flying record.
Yeah, it looks fantastic. I get it. |
