I think this has become very obvious to many of you but the passive classification of enemy vessels at long range by towed arrays is incredibly powerful.

IRL I was an SQR-19 tech and led the work center for it before becoming in charge of the sonar division and one of the very first things I tried when I bought Sea Power was putting my tail out in a surface warfare scenario. I was bummed when I found ships couldn’t passively detect ships.

Well, the 0.8 release was huge when the sonar rework allowed for this and if you’re not exploiting sonar against surface vessels you’re missing out on a realistic way to classify things while at EMCON (or not).

This was such a fun mission for me. The more submarines to sink, the happier I am lol

I was happy to get our first sub kill and looking forward to the next ASW heavy mission Running the Palawan Passage.

We finally send Task Group 77.3 into harms way to start our Pacific Strike play through. Because of my destroyer and frigate roots, we’re going to aim to build our task group with just those vessels and see how we fare.

Finally getting started with the Task Force mode and the Pacific Strike campaign. I’ve played the campaign a while ago back when it was a standalone Steam workshop addition but I am excited to play it now with our own built up task group.

We got a mixed bag of units which seem really ASW stacked but I’ll show you guys the towed array’s usefulness in surface warfare when we get the campaign underway. (I’ve also got a tutorial on using a couple of Knox class and couple of Coontz class to kill a Kirov thanks to the new sonar changes coming next week.)

This was filmed with the first round of sonar updates. I’m loving all the recent updates. By now we’ve got long hull OHPs added with their tails and submarine AI starting to be tinkered with. This has been a great month for Sea Power !

This was fun (you’ll see it doesn’t end how I’d like lol). Three of us went to go attack a rear depot. One came out with shrikes and rockets to suppress the neighboring SA-2 site. On WWX supplies actually move on the map via truck convoys in the game world and feed supplies to combating AI units on the front line. You can disrupt this in a big way if you cut off these supplies by smashing the rear depot to help your team out.

with all the banter included when lead pushes up the throttle to fast for our take off roll lol
