cfrag Posted January 28, 2023 Posted January 28, 2023 I've been requested to write some ASW missions (my group is currently heavily into helos, and after I inadvertently mentioned it, of course that's what they want to do next (my 6 years old godson seems more sensible than some friend in my DCS group - but I digress)). I expect this to require Lua scripting, and that's not a show-stop if it does. Now, I have a vague idea how to make them happy, but before I get into heavy scripting, I'd like to know if and how DCS currently supports ASW. My idea revolves around people dropping off sonobuoys (from helicopters and - when it arrives, can't wait - the Herc) to get a fix on a sub. That part seems straightforward to me. What I'm not sure about is: does DCS currently support anything to attack submerged units? Or should I simply 'set them up the bomb' and explode the sub if/when the team has dropped enough buoys to get a fix, and dropped a 'torpedo' close enough to the sub? In other words: what units in DCS (apologies, I'm a complete naval idiot) support ASW or can actively attack submerged units? And how do I cammand them to do so? Thank you for any pointers. 1
