The problem is not the roundness of the earth, but the impossibility for the astac controller on the frigate to actually control the altitude of the helicopter.
Because this value is hard coded (I suppose) these helos when remote controlled lose contact very quickly with the frigate.
Since there is no way to remote control the altitude, for GAMEPLAY purposes it might be a good idea to change the hard coded value to something much higher, so that the frigate doesn't lose contact at 20 nm max.

This is an very old post. We play Internet with connection of 20Mb and we had never experienced these problems either with DW standar or with Alpha Tau 3. Nobody had problems of this type in multiplayer???

Ok, we shall increase a distance.

50 Nmi for altitude 50 feet.

300 feet (op.alt) - give more distanse maybe about 100 nmi. (but helo use more than 50 nmi with dipping sonar procedure - link be lost. Altitude 50 ft - guarantee of steady communication only for 50 nmi!)

Thank you very much CrazyIvan. :)
Extending the operational ASW range of the helos up to 50 nm will make the frigates (american and russian) much more formidabile platforms.
This is what helos are for : projecting ASW power.

Has fixed to 50 Nmi.:pilot

I will watch the RA 1.1, arriving from my chimney, at the (russian) midnight of December 24 ;)

It´s possible?

Happy Christmas!

ASURA [aka ANS] (Surersonic AntiShip Missile)
Sub-launched cruise missile
This highly effective AntiShip missile.
Its sea-skimming trajectory makes it difficult to detect assuring its survivability.

Speed: 3 Mach High cruise trajectory (1,933 kts; 3,537 km/h)
Guidance: inertial, then active homing on J band in the final trajectory
Target must be at least 5 nm from own ship.
Has 2 Mode:
Low Cruise Altitude with Sea Skimmer travel can be established by means of “Destruct range” value as 43 nmi and less.
High Cruise Altitude with Long Range travel: Set preset of “Destruct range” value as 44 nmi and more.

Happy New Year, mans!

Merry Christmas! man

any plan for Astute class? if you build a Astute 3D model as good as Seawolf class, leave the rest of the work to me

Ladys and Gentelmens! Happy New Year!!! С Новым Годом, Дамы и Господа!!!

Adding of new playable units will require additional time to debug, so release is delayed for 1-2 weeks. :(
