Sorry, I meant that the Tunguska was more of a threat to the cruise missiles due to the S-300 radar not being that useful against low flying targets.
I assumed that it accompanied the S-300 just in case we'd try to (literally) sneak a few cruise missiles under the radar.

Edit: Beaten like a Tornado.

Tunguskas are not something that can effortlessly swat munitions out of the air like they can swat planes and planes can fly above their engagement range

E: also the s300 radar still has about a 70 mile range at just above ground level. Hitting the trucks with cruise missile it is an advantage bc that is not a strategic point likely to be guarded by the s300 being that close

Well, that's why Pocket Rocket Monsters has the (totally optional and not recommended) diamond strike AFTER the SEAD phases! I'm pretty sure several of these plans are like that, as well.

Can't wait til we eventually get the MALD. It's so awesome for pissing off the latest and greatest SAMs.

This is excellent. Just one idea, maybe it would look better if "wings" were straight instead of angled upwards?

Yes, of course. Operation Diamond Rain won't be affected by the SAM but I wondered if we could improve the chance of actually hitting the S-300 somehow without saturation bombing or praying to the RNG.
(I still think that Black Diamond is the safest option in general, though.)

BTW, you're a great at coming up with interesting threats/challenges Yooper.

Ok we have to give the SK-60's some dragon-themed nose art at the very least. We can't just have these lovely little trainers that killed an entire base of 5th gen stealth fighters without suffering a scratch in return and NOT commemorate that somehow.

Agreed. Also liking the giant grenade painted on the bottom.

Look man, as much as I'd appreciate the theme naming these are still Sk60s. Those are far too dignified names for them, as much as I wish otherwise.

Normally Id say yes, but a lot of people vote 2-3 times, switch votes etc. So listing the names lets me see who is where.

Thanks! Walking the line between plausibility, excitability, and survivability has been challenging. Hopefully we can keep toeing that line without losing all our jets.

Nukes might, but I'm not sure we'd have them, or if we did it would be a very special case. Even in our alternate timeline only 2 were used beyond the first 2. So it'd be kind of special if a corporation dropped one.

I have a spreadsheet that counts all participating goons and adds it up nicely for me. We're up to 129 voting goons, though not all vote on every decision. Some of you just like plane chat, others seem to like missions, while others just pop in, poo poo the place up, and disappear. But it's cool, I'll take everyone.

Loel posted:

Probably not. Though if all goes well I'll enter in all the orders. At that point I get to watch everyone fly, get blown up, and tweak order times and such.

Does anyone have an interest in seeing the mission live, on Twitch or YouTube? Not saying I will, but curious. I kind of like the flexibility to do it whenever.
