That last op went far smoother than I expected. Considering the fighter threat we probably shouldn't focus on knocking out the S-300. Sure, it's big and scary but as someone said earlier it's more effective to simply throw a few HARMs at it to keep it busy, although that high-altitude strike seems like a good idea. Reddit might even fly into it first if we're lucky (or somehow manages to convince them that it's worth the risk). If Yooper is taking requests I'd like a spot in either a Tornado or a Prowler (or something similar). I'm not a fan of the AC-130 and I'd rather avoid the Thunderdome.

Throwing HARMs at it will keep it busy for maybe a minute.

Throwing a few HARMs at it while it's being jammed to buggery will occupy it's attention for a fair bit longer.

Having looked up the speed of a HARM I'm willing to revise my estimate to "maybe five minutes" which still doesn't feel like enough.

  Seems the Dictator has struck a deal with Costco to offer low price Angolan diamonds and completely bypass De Beers. An amazing example of the Dictators ability to raise funds regardless of the impact. More details on his new Air Marshall, he's a boyhood friend and only held a ceremonial position in the military. It seems being a crazy crony dictator has its downfalls. Intel From the Free State These fuckers are retarded. This is from their kickstarter page. Right now they are at $387 million, so almost to Hebrew Hammer Cat.  The Free State must have an air force capable of swatting down whatever troubles come near it! Like a swift cat in an amazing, and dangerous playground. Our Air Wing, Cat Force One, will hunt through the weeds, trees, and forests of Angola and knock out any enemies it encounters.  Our ground force, Tom Cat With Sharp Claws, is going to be the cream on top of the cats saucer. Pay no mind to the recent setbacks, with just a few more stretch goals we can really bring our ground forces to the forefront. Our new consultant, Jack Abramof, speaks of synergization, force multiplication, annexes of power, and Combinational deductional logic force patterns. He's really good!  Flying Cat Toy Level : At $50 Million A full set of Israeli Drones! This includes comms jamming, radar jamming, and SPIKE throwing models! We'll rename that to CLAW! MEOW! Hebrew Hammer Cat At $400 Million A dozen Colombian provided Kfir fighters. Wow! Meow! This has more spunk than our last furry convention. Cool Cat At $500 Million Ribbet! Ribbet! What's that I see? Oh noes! It's a mirage! A handful of beautifully marked Mirage Attack aircraft. Jiu Jitzu Cat At $750 Million We hire "The Faithful", a Brazilian mercenary air group to help us squash any opponents like a crunchy turd in the kitty litter!

Oh my god. Thank god we're not flying for those morons. OK, well presumably we will have some time before any of that stuff arrives for the Free State, assuming that they're on Kickstarter and not some homebrew that lets them take/spend the money in advance of the campaign endi-who am I kidding, it's the latter. So we can expect drones and maybe Kfirs soon, with Mirages potentially down the line. If Rohan has any tips on the strengths & weaknesses of the Mirages - I'm sure she's got some, from her IAF days - maybe she could give us some tips on how to handle them? Who's going to fly those Free State birds? Are they just hiring freelance pilots for their own airforce? Can we get some intel on 'The Faithful'? I'm guessing they might see an uptick in donations if they manage to successfully advance while we're distracting Dos Santos in the south. I think taking out the diamond shipment is going to be important for disrupting the Dictator's cashflow further. These mercs don't come cheap.

What I want to know is how they gently caress they've made almost 400 million with a kickstarter. I guess idiots who'll buy bitcoin miners will also try to throw everything they have at buying an air force.

We should keep a running tally of how many of the Dictator's Air Admirals we get fed to the lions. I suspect it'll end up more than 1.

We even have a potential 'out' - just say some of people could disgruntled with the current lack of payment and are willing to 'defect' and fork over a shitload of (mis)information. The main issue would be having to cross the lines and then fly the birds not only away from the Free State, but right over the Dictator's territory as well. Plus potentially refuelling our new acquisitions if they don't give us enough fuel to reach our lines. Yvonmukluk fucked around with this message at 14:22 on Apr 25, 2017 |

I guarantee there's a ton of super earnest internet people caught up in the hype, the irreverence is seen as fresh and exciting and there's heavily gilded careposts about how the free state will change the world. And also, I imagine certain interests are really keen on the idea of a poorly governed state with weak corporate controls and potentially lots of lithium

...Wow. In light of this new information I would like to profusely apologize for even suggesting in jest that we work for those guys, or that any comparisons could be drawn between us and them. It is now painfully clear to me that my statements caused significant damage to company morale and could have been extremely detrimental to the future of the company as a whole. I realize that my past actions were, to put it bluntly, unbelievably dumb as all hell, and would like to make it clear that I do not stand by them in the slightest.

Having a bunch of great planes is overrated, and being great at everything is boring. We should take pleasure in these scrounged planes while we can, for surely we will look back with fondness on the simple days of one Prowler and a platoon of 2x4smen taking care of business. Now then, after this mission if half this poo poo dies the nostalgia will be a bit slim, so I like Bacarruda's plan at this point because it's conservative. We maintain stand-off range, attempt to acomplish a maximum effect, and don't have single-ship attack missions which is almost always a bad idea.

No, we know he's a consultant from the Free State's Kickstarter. Do they provide backer updates? Maybe we should kick in a dollar and get the info right from the horse's mouth. Assuming our sanity could survive the experience...
