The August War

Description
Task Force 70.1 is on patrol in the Pacific when a new hardliner-headed Chinese governement launches an assault on Taiwan in August, 1991. USS Carl Vinson CVN-70 and her escorts go toe-to-toe with the PLAN and PLAAF in a variety of naval, air, and sub-surface engagements across the South China Sea, Taiwan, and Okinawa.

- 5 missions
1) Battle of the Ryuku Islands ***
2) Subs off Shimayama **
3) Assault on Penghu ***
4) Intruders over Hainan ***
5) Victor's Gauntlet ****

- Utilizes scripting and randomized spawns for replay-ability
- Utilizes NTU, Red Storm Arsenal, and Red Storm Arsenal for a slightly more modern feeling
- Compatible with Pact Enhanced LethaliTy, but please be aware that this will make the missions more difficult all around, and the missions were not designed with it in mind (I did test a few with it though, and they're perfectly winnable with it)
- NOTE: If the Arleigh Burkes do not appear in game for you or if you get stuck on loading the mission, ensure that sea lifter and anchor chain have been installed properly. There is a guide on the Arleigh Burke mod page.
--------------------------------------------------------------------

This mission pack is not yet completed to the extent I want it to be, but due to lack of time in the coming months, I decided to compile the missions into one upload for ease-of-access. In the future, I will likely eventually add a few more missions and properly finish it up.
In the mean time, enjoy! I had fun learning how to create and script scenarios, and big thanks to i_blank (creator of the TF75.3 scenarios) on the BuOrd discord for helping me out with all my questions.

I'll take a look at the B52s getting stuck bug. If I have to guess, an update to RSA may have broken it.
Finally back and can start making some more missions.

Same love the scenario, but the BUFFS are killing it a bit

On Battle of the Ryuku Islands the B-52 get stuck on the end of the runway and couldn't take off, but I love the scenarios

Thank you!
When I get back in April I'll definitely be making more, planning on a mixture of vanilla scenarios and modded ones.
The watchtowers under the sea in the Hainan mission are intentional due to how the game and AI spotting works (and sometimes doesn't), and sadly for the land targets HP, that's a core game issue and to my knowledge can't be changed in mission editor or the ini file.

These were great fun and wish more people would make mission packs using modded stuff, except for some errors during Hainan with some watchtowers spawning under the sea and the HP for land targets being super high. Great fun and I hope we get more missions when you're free.

@Todd Howard
yes, this is likely primarily due to a new texture streaming function in the beta, among other changes to missiles and weapons. This mission pack will not work for the beta (and live patch when that gets pushed) until the mods get updated to be compatible. For now, stick with the current live build.

Missions no longer load in the beta but work fine when on main update.

Thank you. I don’t like adding mods to the program and I wish authors would put down what mods are in or needed for their scenarios.
