In the future TSH will be releasing weapons modifications which remove the Mk-65 QUICKSTRIKE naval mine from the Jane's F-18 inventory. This weapon slot will be replaced with an alternative weapon.

TSH asks that all future missions be designed using Mk-60 CAPTOR mines only. Work is underway to modify existing missions that use MK-65 mines; new versions of these missions will be released that use only MK-60 mines.

Thank you.

Understood. Please know that until last week when I blockaded North Korea, I had not written an missions using mines. Therefore all campaigns and mission sets I have on the TSH website are mine free. The new mission I wrote uses only captors.

Saudi Campaign also uses CAPTORS only.

I went through all the known campaigns and found only 3 missions set up for Quickstrike mines... one in stock campaign, one in Persian Freedom and one in Cobalt Flash. I edited all three, but they needed testing. If anybody would like to volunteer for that duty, please contact me or Joe by PM.
