Nikolayev Breakthrough

PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF IT SHOWS UP IN YOUR MOD MANAGER!

1st Year of the war, 14th of June 1971

Intel dropped the Ball!

Multiple Fishermen and Freighters reported sighting a Russian Taskforce heading through the Kattegat, including the brand new Kara Class Missile Cruiser Nikolayev!

We have no idea how they slipped through the entire baltic sea undetected, but that is a problem we will investigate in the aftermath. For now we must stop this taskforce, they are not allowed to carry the war out into international waters!

SNMG1 is patrolling north of Norway, too far away to aid, so we must use what we have! Thankfully, with Kiel-week approaching, many NATO ships are in the vicinity, so we are forming an impromtu-Taskforce as we go. We cannot be picky about the types of Ships we can accumulate, so use what we have, and don't complain!

The German Destroyer squadron was recently reinforced by their newest addition, the FGS Rommel and they were out in the North sea for Foto-Ops when the news broke. As of right now, they, along with german U-22, returning from SNMG1 on it's way to Kiel, are the closest to the threat.

Your biggest asset however will be USS Kitty Hawk and her escorts, which have just cast off out of Edinburgh.

A P-3C Orion has also scrambled from Nordholz, Germany to provide Recon, aswell as ASW capabilities.
Since we have no intel on this taskforce it is impossible to determine whether or not there are submarines involved.
I advise you to expect the worst!

What we do know however, is that the Sovjet Taskforce is being escorted by GDR patrol boats. this is most likely nothing more than a courtesy of the GDR government, and they will most likely turn around once the taskforce leaves Kattegat. They are not a priority.

Do NOT let the Taskforce escape out of the Kattegat, that is of upmost importance!

Surface warning Yellow, Air warning yellow, Subsurface warining yellow!

CAUTION: This mission is looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong

1.1 because i couldn't update the mod, but there was an issue with the subs not being needed to be destroyed in order to achieve Victory.

I am aware that some Assets (most notably F-14s and Harpoon) should not yet be available during the date of this mission. In this Cold war turned hot scenario let's just pretend efforts were made to speed up the deployment of these weaponsystems ;) If there are any ships that should not be there, let me know!



The mission is relatively easy thanks to the massive combat value of Aircraft carriers. Maybe i'll reduce her loadout..
The real challenge is to finish it without loosing ze germans.


there are 4 Submarine spawns, each with a spawn chance of 50%, so you will encounter 0-4 subs, but most of the time, 2.
you will recieve a message when the last sub is destroyed though, so no need to wonder.
