I vote simplefish because the bombing happens after the MSF plane takes off, reducing the risk of enemy fighters being scrambled to retaliate while the cargo plane is taking off.

Though I find both plans rather fishy due to the exclusion of the SK60's, I think i'll suport plan Barracuda.

If there are Su-27s in the area, what do the goons think about upgunning our High CAP Gripens with x2 IRIS-T short-range AAMs and x2 RB107 Meteors mid-range AAMs? We could then set (and enforce) a 50-100km exclusion zone around the transport aircraft. We contact any bogey aircraft and warn them off if they approach the zone. Simultaneously, we vector the High CAP aircraft towards the bogeys. If the bogeys enter the exclusion zone, then we could fire on them with our Meteor missiles. 80km is the range of the R-77 Amraamski medium-range air-to-air missile carried by most Su-27/J-11 variants, so they could pop up, snipe a transport (or one of our fighters) and dash off before we're in visual range to engage with our shorter-range missile.

I don't think we'd have the range on the Gripens to fly there and back with both Meteors and IRIS: I'd just upgrade to 2x Meteors loadout only: they are modern missiles, two should easily be enough to enforce the corden. EDIT: sounds like Jack has found us some militarised versions of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BAE_Systems_Hawk ? The Indians do make them under license, which helps.

Ooh is Drunk Jack getting his mitts on Frogfoots and BAE Hawks? Me likey I also want to echo that the production efforts you're making are really making a huge difference Yooper, thanks for that --------------------------------------- I don't want to muddy the waters by changing plans after we've had two pretty solid ones and people are voting, but... What about a compromise? Some people said they would have preferred that my plan incorporated a second escort, like Bacarruda's does. I personally like his idea of a High CAP, but I prefer my strike part of the plan. In some ways, air patrol is what the bomber Gripens will be doing when they loiter serving rearguard and waiting for the MSF to return home, in my plan. But armed with heaters, they may not be the best at Air to Air. It's also what the Air-to-Air Gripen would be doing once the MSF transports have landed, around what I called Point Eel. So it's not like my plan lacks it in its entirety. But since people generally seem to want a 4th bird in the air with A2A loadout, as the reason for not liking my plan, and since my plan and Bacarruda's plans aren't wildly different - the main one being CAP - I think I have an idea. The compromise I'd suggest would be to add a 4th plane, with the longest range A2A that we can muster (seems like Meteors unless I'm mistaken) to serve as what Bac said for CAP, while running the rest of the planes (close escort of transports and strike part) to my plan. Now, I don't know if that will interest you, Bacarruda. Your plan is ahead so if you think the compromise would still not work as well as your original plan, you have zero reason to change. For reference, I went and counted: Plan Simplefish has 7 votes Plan Bacarruda has 14 votes I don't know what the deadline is for us getting a plan set in stone. Yooper, any thoughts on when you might run it? nothing to seehere posted:I don't think we'd have the range on the Gripens to fly there and back with both Meteors and IRIS: I'd just upgrade to 2x Meteors loadout only: they are modern missiles, two should easily be enough to enforce the corden. simplefish fucked around with this message at 14:36 on Apr 3, 2017 |

I like plan Barracuda, though with new intel I'd suggest having the remaining 2 Gripens loaded out with Meteors and either sit on the runway on alert or be on the wings of the transports

It seems I didn't read the fine print. Jack sent me a picture of the bar tab. That we are contractually obligated to pay. On the plus side he sent a list of surplus aircraft available for purchase. More to come after this mission. OOC Glad everyone is enjoying it, I am too! I have to thank my good friend Fiverr.com...

Looks like Jack was paying for the entire bars drinks last night. For a line on cheap jets though, that's a price worth paying. Also yea, great job with the LP production values so far.

I'm going to chip in with the compliments - it's seriously impressive to me the amount of care and effort that's gone into this! Also going to support Bacarruda's plan. Although I'm slightly disappointed by the fact that none of our SK60s are coming out to play, the idea of (potentially) getting some new toys to play with helps soften the blow - particularly since the SK60s aren't the most well protected aircraft around.

The jets are still on the ground and I'm super excited. Also, just how much alcohol is that, and is that Jack's "downside"? His contacts and contracts require a lot of wining and dining?

Either way, yeah I think that's his downside. Well, that and being a sleazy lobbyist who might make some promises we didn't expect him to or get caught up in a scandal.
