[SiB] Naval Skirmish

Take part in a multinational VR training exercise centered around naval and amphibious operations, amidst an evolving meteorological situation.

Chronologically the first mission in the Spring in Boscali series, this is by far the most light hearted and gameplay focused of all of the missions. Inspired by the classic version of Carrier Duel and Terminal Control, this mission is heavily built around fast paced combat, suitable for usage on any regular multiplayer server.

As with most, if not all Spring in Boscali missions, Naval Skirmish can be described as somewhat of a demonstration of what's possible when pushing the mission editor to its absolute limits. Naval Skirmish features a realistic depiction of a passing tropical cyclone, albeit heavily sped up, including cloud formations and wind shifts, including their reversal on the other side of the cyclone.

Intended Play Order:
Naval Skirmish > Breakthrough > Primevan Spring (currently unreleased) > Vanguard > Dawn (currently unreleased) > Dusk (currently unreleased) > Counterforce (currently unreleased) > Inferno (currently unreleased) > Midnight (currently unreleased)



The mission can become laggy towards the midgame, especially when the destroyers fire their ASHMs. Not much I can do about this as this is mainly a game optimization issue. (Update: I believe I've made it so that the destroyers now stagger their ASHM fire, but this comes at the cost of AI skill. Please let me know if some of the destroyers behave oddly due to this change, or if some are now too weak.)

Weather transitions could stand to be more smooth and less abrupt, but again, this is more of a game issue and isn't something I can solve.
