Flipping your very vocal suspicion (of Hannah Fry) to join a pile-on (of Julie ) is the sort of thing that gets used as “evidence” at the Round Table. Blunt will probably go before Miranda, but that vote flip was an unforced error. Fry may even be the one to use it, since it was one of her “statistical clues pointing to a traitor” things.
Post-patch the Yak-38s are a bit rubbish at bombing (although they do level up quickly during a mission) so I’ve had to use the Kynda’s missile battery during the first mission of Molniya more than I wanted. It was during the attack on the Knox-class I happened to send two yaks against it on a suicidal mission and for insurance launched two missiles against it, managing to Time on Target both attacks. The yaks both missed but their ECM systems managed to spoof all the SAMs fired at them and at the Kynda’s missiles, scratch one Knox. I’m not one to look a gift horse in the mouth but is this an intentional result?
Obviously the devs have a lot in their plate so this is just wishcasting into the void stuff really but being able to tow damaged vessels (or having sea-going tugs for this) would be quite cool and useful.
Completing a mission to get a particular ship into a particular escape zone by towing it after its engines have been knocked out would be quite satisfying narratively.
My other suggestion is to maybe give damaged/burning ships a little boost to their chances of putting out fires if there is a friendly ship of at least escort/frigate size within a hull’s-length of them.
It was drawn in the same style as Gilbert Ratchet but there were two boys and a girl and they were in a band and got kidnapped for some reason. The only dialogue I remember is the villain saying “stay in this large box whilst I fetch a gun to kill you with” and the girl sending an absurdly over-complicated SOS in the form of a paper aeroplane.
