We, however, are mercenaries first and foremost. If there's profit in it, we're smoking the dictator like a cigar.

I'm extremely confident taking out the Dictator is a bonus for the mission, as it reduces the coordination of the inner circle, even if they're reduced to simply moving assets out of the country. More importantly it eliminates a potential future problem. Best thing would be to capture him. RA Rx fucked around with this message at 08:40 on May 6, 2017 |

Added Space posted:How is that weapon supposed to work in concept? Even with a parachute a missile can't possibly have a loft time of more then a few minutes. What kind of military shuts off its radar for five minutes and then turns it right back on? It's hard to get your radars destroyed by ARMs if they're not emitting. The Serbs were very good at this, and despite months of active SEAD/DEAD ops, still had a pretty formidable air defence network by the end of that whole campaign. The idea is to try and catch them as they turn their radars back on after you leave.

As the original Strike Commander said, Shooting an ejected pilot is a bit different than shooting up someone who's shooting back, or a commanding officer for one belligerent during a major war. After all, you end Strike Commander by smoking a dictator's transport in an F-22.

Mission Spacing : If I try and pack as many ops as quickly as we can we end up with like a 6 hour dead window where no ops run. I'm cool with this, but I probably won't stream it as it'll be a lot of me pontificating on my fishless day, my 3d printer, and Baloogans new avatar. Unless you guys don't mind, but I'll edit it out for the YouTube version. No guarantees but maybe this evening.

Hexenritter posted:a one man version of Escanaba in da Moonlight My name is in the credits. I was in college and needed a job. I had a film class as a blow off elective. Some camera dude came in looking for an intern so I volunteered. I don't know what they really had in mind for me, but once they saw I had a 1978 Ford F100 with a flat bed all I did was deliver and haul poo poo. A lot of people in the community helped out so for like a week I just delivered Knob Creek whisky. Another day I hauled super expensive camera equipment down a mud strewn road and rolled my truck on its side. Mostly I just sat around and watched the filming. It's a bad movie.  Going live in an hour, hour and a half. 2100 EST

Don't worry guys, I've got the ground crews ready to give those Free State Kfirs the vital care they need after landing. We'll have whatever waifu  they're dressed in primered over within 15 minutes, I promise. You guys just gotta get them here safe.

Well, we had unusually good luck that time. The Bulgarians are toast, the Kfirs are ours, our air strikes went through, and we somehow even managed to chuck a cruise missile into a defended target. Though I expect we got nothing more than a few security guards and a bunch of paperwork.

So You Wanna Do A (War)Crime Tythas in streamchat inspired me to look this up by talking about napalm but having a decidedly incomplete list of "things what set other things on fire". Here's a summary of some interesting options you can use to reenact your most treasured memories of the Vietnam war. I'm skipping the F/A-18 variants because everybody wants those anyway, as well as the Fulcrums, Flankers, and Fullbacks for similar reasons of being generically good. First up, some bad or at least non-exciting entries:
I think the irony percentage of my support for buying Iranian Phantoms is rapidly diminishing. Stay safe out there, warcrimes ghosts!

As the chief ops planner, I have to say that my butt was CLENCHING several times during that stream, but I'm glad we pulled it out with no casualties. Wish we could see the Dictator's view of the board to see just how much infrastructure damage we did to the runways, but who knows, maybe we prevented them from taking off in the last phase? Any thoughts of what could have been done better in planning? What seemed unacceptably high risk, what else should have been targetted that wasn't, what shouldn't have been targeted but was?

Very nicely done! Was surprised the Free States didn't send a swarm of fighters after the Kfirs, but rathe rwell done. That's a.. Lot of dead tanks. How many platoons were taken out? Nice job on the mobile radars as well. Guess that airstrikes on the capital won't be going forwards for a bit.

[*]The ALARMs seem to have a poor chance of hitting. Their final hit probability was 25% or lower whenever I looked. [*]I suspect the most probable outcome of the flights of the AMX's in the east would have been losing them both to the SAM shots they took. [*]The AMX's went in there blind, which was a bad idea. I think a Tornado or Gripen with radar on would have done much to solve this issue. [*]I would have liked to see the Pig Pen be in a more central position, the EA-6B and gripen CAP constantly had to fly back to base to get fuel. [*] I would have preferred a cruise missile strike on Benguela AFB over Luamba/o, I don't recall planes launching from Laumba/o but they did launch from Benguela last mission. [*]Free State seems to have 2 new KF-16's along with the Kfirs [*]The Kfirs are the Colombian C.10 variant, they're modernized [*]Sa-11's seem capable of shooting without radar.

[*]Sa-11's seem capable of shooting without radar. Isn't this because the SA-11 radar is very hard to detect itself? BTW I think we can genuinely pat ourself on the back for this one. Lots of damage to the dictator and the bulgarians took a real beating!
