Defending Paradise

Description
Months after the USSR took Guam, they appear to be sending a large landing force to Hawaii. If Hawaii is lost, the Soviets will be able to stage an invasion of the US homeland. This CANNOT be allowed to happen. The situation is critical. Satellite intelligence shows an enemy CSG, 2 SAG's, and a large fleet of landing ships are closing in on Hawaii. Submarine escorts are likely. You are to use all available assets to sink all of those landing craft and as many of their escorts as possible. Heavy losses are acceptable as long as the mission is successful. Assets available to you are a CSG, 3 SSN's, and the Hawaiian airbase. Good luck.

After 4 hrs(real time) fight and game finally crash...... its unacceptable for this game now. Maybe i will try again after saveload update. Strength is relax, only the fighter group at the beginning is stressful. Its the hardest part for a no-hit run.

7 Under protection of remaining fighters, use your submarines to launch as much Mk48 as you can. If you are lucky enough, you might be able to sink enemy CVs or large S-300 carriers. (try to aim on these high value ships) Even not, you are still able to peel the ecsort ships.

8 Easy part. Use your A-6s and P-3C to attack the remaining S-300 carriers. Please attack from different directions if possible. Then, you can repeat these missile attack waves, or if you are OK wih losses, you can even use A-7 and F-4 with iron bombs to finish the remaining fleet.

5 After clearing enemy CAPs (should be easy with NATO F-14/15s), lower your EA-6B to 50/200 fts high and open the offensive ECM. Keep in low profile to get away from S-300s. Before you can 100% make sure you know all details of enemy fleet, ALWAYS assume there are several S-300 carrier functional.

6 Use F-4s from the airbase to clear Ka-25/27. Now enemy ships should be covered by your ECM field, but please still keep low altitude. Only attack of helicopters which is far away (at least 10 n miles) from the ships. Be prepared to lose some F-4s in this step. After that, your submarines should be 100% free to attack.

3 After you clearing the first attack wave, please send some P-3C with ASuW load to west and wait. Also send all your submarines full speed to west. It might take some time before the P-3C can detect the soviet ships. Double check that your submarines are not too close to enemy SAGs, and switch to 1/3 speed with towed sonar. Be aware that the soviet SAGs might also be escorted by their submarine (like what you do)

4 Now, let's say enemy SAGs are close enough (i.e., can be attacked by most of your airplanes) and at least 2 of your submarines are ready to join the attack. Before you really start your attack, please send a pack of E-2/E-3, EA-6B and several F-14/15 to 100-150 n miles away from enemy ship. I know AI is not able to send their CAP in this version, but considering the developers are planning to fix that, you'd better get prepared for potential enemy CAPs.

Nice work. Only problem is that the amount of units affected the game performance a lot, but I'm fine with it. Here are some tips. I'll try to leak minimun details of this great mission.

1 Please launch as much as F-14s and F-15s with 1 or 2 E-2/E-3 as possible (don't forget to turn on their radars), make sure you can intercept Ko-25 group with escorting Mig-23A.

2 At same time, considering the soviet SAGs are coming from west, try to hide you CVBG on the east side of islands might be a good idea. Don't forget to send some SH-2 from other ships around your CVBG to clear potential enemy submarines. Keep the radars on your ships off (you don't need them) but switch all of them to open fire so they can shot down remaining Ko-45s (if any exist)

If you got a couple of hours to spare, pick this one. It's a long one and it shows what the game is all about. Maybe Jive Turkey can try this one as his stream have the length needed ;)
