Campaigns for Modern Conflicts

I am still not very used in unit creations, so I just can give general ideas :/
The most important is that the icon is ready to be used, so that we will be able to use it when we need it.

I agree with the consensus here: it would be best to just be a regular naval unit (just with very low stats, like proposed here, since they will be next to frigates). If we need to make something special with it (like my idea of stealth amphibious operation) we still have scripts in the scenario editor to make it act as needed (I have a bias about it: scripts are my solution to everything ) So yeah, it can just be a regular unit.
I'd give them similar stats to pirate boats... but I'm very bad with maths

Well, I don't know exactly how well trained the people on the pirate boats are, but I would trust the navy or naval commando a little more in terms of combat capability. But exactly, you can adjust something like that via the equipment file settings.
I've also been thinking about music in the campaigns, as I've now summarised different ones for the Scandinavian campaign.
wardruna solringen cyantist remix or e-mantra-the darkest hours...berserkers-viking war etc
Thoughts about copyrights...as long as I use this music for myself it's no problem but what if it's offered for download in the campaign?????
Perhaps it's better for everyone to put their own music into the campaign.

Finnish special troops to expand the unit pool a little. They receive the ‘reconmove’ ability. Move-attack-retreat if the movement points are sufficient. I need to test this further, but in some attacks I was able to remove them from the enemy's field of vision after the attack.

Ah, that's a very powerful ability for a special forces unit.
This could be a good gadget for a defense-focused Finnish campaign, reminiscent of the 1940 war. It's nice to have special features in each of your campaigns, like your previous Afghanistan campaign from the 1980s, where helicopters dropped infantry everywhere.

Can we have little spoiler? How many missions await us?

I always start from my side, I would like to see more from others.

I'm not sure about that, Sweden, Germany and Norway are supporting the Finns in the defence campaign and are thus themselves coming into Russia's crosshairs...Baltic Sea cables are being cut, infrastructure attacked, port facilities and terminals sabotaged...there's a lot to do...maybe 6-8...

I'll keep my feet or fingers still...I'll try.

I'm not a good communications manager, but I guess I can make some effort in this area

The more chaotic the better
I already like the project

Update: The mission “Bloody Sky” has been reworked by me. The player now only has to neutralize 10 airfields instead of twelve.
The “Master of Sky” campaign can now be downloaded and added.

Your cool scenery gives the pictures realism ) Visually it looks very dynamic )

Here is some more information about the upcoming new campaign “Cold Breeze”.Russia's conflicts with the Scandinavian countries lead to a war for supremacy over the icy north
It is a purely fictional campaign and begins in November 2027 on Finnish soil and ends on rough seas off the west coast of Norway January 2028.

It's about special missions but also about simpler “hold or conquer the victory fields” missions. At the moment I have 9 missions planned. The 6th is currently being tested by me. So things are moving forward. I'm already snow-blind.

Oh very well) In order not to be blinded by snow, I recommend sunglasses, or finally introduce winter camouflage into winter companies so that it doesn't look too wild))) Green is very clearly visible in the snow)))

Bravo!!!!..

There is at least one advantage in your snow blind situation : all this snow on the screen will help us to suffer less due to the heat this summer. Seeing all this white will help to feel a drop in temperature.
If you want to focus on "snow" scenarios in the following months, it will be a pleasure

JAJAJAJAJAJA.. Very good!!

Mission 8: I had to realize that naval warfare is not one of my strengths.
But I'll keep trying to make it interesting. That's why this mission has become more of a cat-and-mouse game between the Russian submarines and their fighters. I've moved away from a big naval battle. I think I'll finish the campaign by the weekend and publish it.

Some blue for our eyes to rest after all this snow?

That's very interesting!
I thought about a "submarine hunt" scenario just after I released my "artic strike" scenario, but I had trouble finding interesting game mechanics and postponed the project until later.
I will play and analyze this scenario and its mechanics with great interest

[Tobi72]

Yes, blue soothes the eyes for a while.

Now in the first test, the submarines shot at my oil platforms from a distance and disappeared again. Since the aerial reconnaissance and combat had to constantly refuel, I was forced to use the corvettes and frigates on the submarines, and of course they were already in a different place, plus I had to keep an eye on the Russian air force, which was also involved here.
It always depends on the player whether he has the right instinct and moves his fleet in the right direction, it can also happen that the submarines run right into the army of their killers. I'll have to do a few more tests to make sure it goes well.

Hey there on the longboat ))) How about something like this? ))))

An attack on a spy ship ?
How did I not have the idea!? I mark it in my ideas book

it can also happen that the submarines run right into the army of their killers

Navigation errors are part of the fun. It's always very pleasant to see "ambush" written above our units during the ennemy turn

[Tobi72]

Spy ship is available in a few missions. And yes, you can... no, you have to sink it.
It has light defense values against air attacks because I read that these ships were equipped with Strela.
