Heet's Dance of the Vampires

Challenging, realistic, and long mission based upon the Dance of Vampires chapter in Tom Clancy's Red Storm Rising. Mission is designed to be balanced and get you right into the action, with tough defense and fun attacks.

WARNING: This is a challenging mission for you and your computer! I tried to keep it realistic; however, kept the number of vessels and aircraft reasonable to limit strain on your computer as much as possible. Even still, only the best machines will be able to run this due to the sheer amount of units.

IF YOU HAVE AN OLDER MACHINE: Play the LITE version of this mission! Still designed to be balanced, but with about half of the units, and should be easier on your machine.

I strongly recommend you install Ossesek's "Air deck operations upgrade" mod to streamline carrier ops and flight recovery. This will make your life a lot easier.

Known Bugs:
I spawned units on the map to get you right into the action; however, this means that formation names can be incorrect upon launching from your CVs. You will need to manually check that the aircraft you select in a formation the "leader" of the formation.

Submarines don't always behave as intended. I've done my best with early triggers to get them on the right mission and at the right depth, but it appears to be somewhat random.

Enemy bombers with anti-ship loadouts will attack immediately upon detection of your fleet, regardless of orders. This can cause some missed timings.

Enemy fighters escorting bombers will always prioritize early warning birds, even if the'yre being attacked. I can't control this.
