First time I played it, the first buoy the helo dropped spotted the November and Romeo and ASROCs make short work of them, I though this is easy.

Second time, Barney found the November and Foxtrot on it's own. the November died right away but while focused on hunting the Foxtrot missed the THIRD sub which put four torpedoes into Barney at point blank range.... RUDE

thanks

Finished this the other night, relatively straightforward but very fun mission

I liked it! Thanks, wolfpack.

Well made, sir.

Just subscribed to your YouTube channel

Is Richard Widmark the destroyer's CO? Is Sydney Poitier onboard too?

Good mission, fun to have enough torpedoes shot at you that you have to start taking manual control in order to dodge them.

Big fan of the Youtube channel

Great mission!

Fun Mission. worked great. played it a few times. even got surprised by a 3rd sub. fun times.

Message to Wolfpack345 :

1) thank you so much for all your videos on naval warfare on many games (especially cold waters, war on the sea and the absolute jewel : Uboat, my favorite), I watch them for many hours and I love the way you do it (except about naughty map contact on Uboat wich spoil so much...)
On my part, I'm more a technicien than a story teller, I speak a bad english with french accent so it's not for me :op

2) please please please, do not use the "trained" skill for AI, use at least the "veteran" or even "ultra". AI are really idiot on so called "trained" settings.
Thank you again for your work.

And now, the same mission with perfect respect of ROE :
SPOILER : DO NOT WATCH THIS BEFORE YOU PLAY IT PLEASE !

The difference with my first version ?
I had to cry out loud : "hey ho ! I'm here !!! Please send me torps so I can fire back !" with a sonar ping.
I usually NEVER use active sonar, because It's the BEST way to give away you ID as ennemy, you position, and active have too short range.
I use active only if ROE, like here, force me to do so.
But you can see there is absolutely no significant difference between my first version and this one.
Except "role playing"...

Same mission with NO helo and NO active sonar, in a 5 mn game video.
SPOILER : DO NOT WATCH THIS BEFORE YOU PLAY IT PLEASE !

I made a mistake editing this message and erased it...
in short : do not use active, it will give your ID as ennemy.

@BroMelloYellow
In the case you are mentionning, the sub WON'T launch torps, so, what is the point ?
Are the sub in this mission on weapon hold ? no...
You dislike the way I engaged the subs ?
I already mentionned the goal of this video is to show how to do a buoy pattern, quickly and efficiently.
Do I have to say it again and again and again ?
I already said, in the comments of this video, I'm not interested in role playing, I'm interested in technique and tactics, and on what I saw, lots of people need to learn basics on how to do it the right way...
What's makes wonders, is when people understand the purpose of a video and don't argue childishly.

@cladecq "During the Cold War when it was necessary to inform submarines of the other side that they had been detected but without actually launching an attack, low-power "signalling depth charges" (also called "practice depth charges") were sometimes used, powerful enough to be detected when no other means of communication was possible, but not destructive"

A quick google search does wonders

"Do Not Fire Unless Fired Upon"
in the briefing : "occasionally harassing it with signaling depth charges"...
So, you ALREADY fired at the target, you lost it, and now you choose to let the target engage you first.
Can you give a single historical example of this kind of thing ?
What you dislike is me to shoot at him as soon as I detect him. And I used the Knox helo... because it was there ^^.
But the purpose of this video was to show, very quickly (I did it in 1 mn) how you can detect a sub contact with buoy even in the worst weather, that's why I choose this scenario (to prove a point to someone saying it's "too hard" to find a sub with buoy).
If you don't like the 2nd minute, just stop to watch at the first minute, because this is NOT a tutorial to learn how to avoid torpedoes, this is a tutorial to learn how to make a good and fast efficient buoy pattern.
I will do a tutorial on torpedoes avoidance, on a specific scenario where I could show all the steps.

A real challenge IF you adhere to the ROE and Mission Objectives as explained in the beginning. Do Not Fire Unless Fired Upon. The addition of the Knox-class deviates this mission from the intended subject matter (see the movie!) and eases the difficulty IMO, but I understand the reasons behind it. I wish you could control enemy ROE via triggers in the Mission Editor. Until then, every hostile target wants to immediately engage you upon detection.

The Barney incident in 2mn :

Had fun with this one, really good scenario for introductory ASW. Thanks Wolfpack.

@Darth Reaper, from game main screen, click Mods, check the box for the mod and click apply. game will reload and it should show up now.

I have subscribed to the mission but it does not show up in the game scenario menu... I have unsubscribed, resubscribed and loaded and restarted Sea Power multiple times but still will not show up.

Very typical ASW cases. you could easily knock out these subs if you could cooperate with your best ASW partners--- those flying"bugs" well. And don't forget to offer a hot coffee when your flying crews'back-rough weather,tough flying

Great mission to practice ROE and dodging wake homers, well done!

Whenever I play this mission, i read the briefing in my head like its being narrated by wolfpack himself.

Decent Scenario, very straight forward not much to it but it was enjoyable.

Interesting Scenario. I liked it. Would love it, f the target would be just to find the sub and then have mission accomplished, without combat involved.

Hi,
Could do make a mission like this one but from the Reds point of view?? Like with an Udaloy hunting US SSNs? Thanks in advance.

"If he fires one I'll fire one"

me after firing number one ASROC :

It's named after the USS Barney as there is no Bedford

I take it that you cannot call it the 'Bedford Incident' after the famous film due to copyright?

No Victory message after sinking all subs? I was hunting for one more member until i had the bright idea of quiting the mission.Anyways until i see some AI from this game whats the point of anything.

@Hannibal0216 도마도 재배자 are you making sure you activate the mission in the Mod Manager?

Had a ton of fun playing this, I'd love to see an alternative version without the frigate and its very helpful sea sprite

this mission isn't showing up in game for me. I unsuscribed and resuscribed just in case. Wierd.

The search area is really too small.
I needed 8 sonobuoy and 10 mn of game to sink the 2 subs on first try at X20 or X30, the time sonobuoy pattern is done and then the subs pop ups.
Too easy because area is too small, and no replayability cause they seems to be at the same spot each time (I don't know yet about random possibilities in the mission editor...).
Of course, the ship inside must go to stop at start and do not use active sonar, and wait for the sonobuoys pattern of the helo.
Once subs are detected, it's over for them with ASROC or Mk46, in 1mn.
But thank you for this very short mission wolfpack ;op

can you upload your other missions? the denmark straight one looks fun

"Mr Munceford this briefing is for you"

Would be nice things naturally escalates (or further instruction to be more aggressive, be it warning Sonar or something) if you trail them successfully for couple or more hours. Trailed them for 3+ hours while waiting for something to happen, eventually gave up after I mistakenly fired torpedo from helicopter instead of sonobuoy.

Shades of 'The Bedford Incident'

@distrc85 That would overwhelm poor Barney

Nice scenario. I'm working on a similar one on my own.

It would be awesome if another, longer version of the mission could be created, where triggers add in more units as the incident escalates.

BTW, instructions not clear on how to perform this mission. Have instead trapped a sensitive appendage in the microwave. Send help...

Bought this game cos of this lad... Good job! Very satisfied!

Great mission, Seasprite was a lot of help. Found both subs and then tracked them for a bit till the foxtrot eventually came above the layer and fired.

You have kept me so hyped for this game for the last month. good mission just like your videos!
Also release some of the other scenarios i have seen you make and play pretty please

solid quick mission. Great scenario to play around with both surface and air ASW.

OMG is this THE Wolfpack? THE YOUTUBER???

Хорошая работа, миссия увлекает !
