Back To Page 3 Q. How will you address the multi-player lag found in other Naval Combat games when too many missiles and/or torpedoes are active? A.

Back To Page 2 Q. How will we play the air assets? A. The MH-60 and P-3 are independent entities. Of course, all platforms are working together and share data over the Link (so in that sense, they are always working together) but the player has total control over the two aircraft in SCS-DW. The MH-60 always […]

Back To Page 1 Q. How well will “brown water navies” be represented in Dangerous Waters? A. Littoral water operations are that much more dangerous with the inclusion of our first diesel submarine, the Kilo. The AI will utilize the same tactics as player controlled diesel captains, so when running on batteries most diesel subs will be […]

Back To Page 8 Figure 5 – The torpedo director as seen in the torpedo training scenario. Don’t be fooled by the 100% Solution Indicator — we are way out of range (here 17,412 yards) for our Mk 15 Torpedoes. The Run Time is 21 minutes, 4 minutes more than a Mk 15 will […]

Back To Page 7 At the top center of the director is a “Solution” indicator, marked from 0 to 100%. The manual doesn’t define what this means, but from what I can tell it only tells if the director has solved for SA. It does not check to see if the torpedo is in […]
