My second choice. Bad weather that blinds our laser-guided bombs and IR gear. Long ranges. SMARF will probably show up again with their funding F-2s and that Wedgetail. It could be a fun challenge, but they'll be a lot of frustrating moments. Where are the natives getting their money from? They don't want to drill for oil, go fishing, or mine anything. We're mercs with a lot of operating costs -- we need someone who can afford our prices. If we want to buy a boat in the future, we need money. The Japanese are nice and all...but we don't operate any Japanese equipment. The Americans have got the right aggressive attitude. They're probably got contacts with US arms dealers who can help get our Phantoms and F-16s the weapons they need. Let's take Ted Nugent's money and blow poo poo up. Iceberg time! Yooper posted:

Give us like 200-400k every month to simulate the money we make from giving people rides, performing at shows, being a mini-aggressor squadron, etc. And maybe give us some fringe benefit like new arms dealer contracts from that shady Russian we might meet at Farnborough. If we're going to be doing agent insertion work, etc. Having the AMXes to help clear out LZs might be useful. Between the two of them, they can carry 4,000lb of JDAMs, which is nothing to sniff at. And they're the only plane we have that can carry Durandals, so if we ever have to bust a runway, we'll want them. KEEP THE AMXES Bacarruda fucked around with this message at 03:40 on May 25, 2017 |

No longer use the Sk60b's, but keep the AMX's. I'm kind of torn on Theatres. In the Bering Sea, we're either going to go with the Alaska Natives (and possibly incur more ire from the UN) or Musashita (and possibly get the UN to owe us one), this might also involve SMARF so we could work with them or against them (and they have a marker to play against/with us). And the Balkans are the usual Balkan poo poo-show, but its close and we might be able to score some deals with the region's suppliers, also the Bulgarians might be involved so keep that in mind.

We're mercs with a lot of operating costs -- we need someone who can afford our prices. If we want to buy a boat in the future, we need money. IRL, the Alaska Native Corporations were given a similar choice to the Native American Tribes of the Lower 48 but chose to incorporate instead of staying with reservations and eventually going into the gambling business. This means that they've pretty much either invested their money in actual corporations (CIRI in AK is a pretty big deal for Native employment, for example) or squander it, so there's the potential that they could actually afford us.

Josip Broz Tito: a communist disobedient to Stalin, a founder of the Non-Aligned Movement, a gatherer of the Slavic peoples, a gamesman adroitly profiting from Moscow and Washington's rivalry. We owe it to his memory. We must go to Eastern Europe.

Get rid of the SK 60s, sell the AMX if we can get something useful. Getting rid of the SK 60s makes a lot of sense. They provide little in the way of competency that we can't get from other craft, there aren't enough to really make any kind of an impact, and we would likely be spending more time sanitizing the air to make them function than getting anything useful out. The AMX is slightly more survivable and at least has a RWR and infrared ability, so I could see them being useful for dropping bombs or Mavericks on targets of interest, but if we can sell all of them as a package and get something better it would be preferred. The SK60s look to be worth about $300K, but the AMX were worth $16.5M in 1999 so who knows what price point we could get now. So if it's just selling for the sake of having money then I would say keep the AMX, but if we can get something else then sell them.

KEEP THE AMXES We also have the Phantoms with their standoff DWS.39 dispensers for the specific anti-runway mission, and they are a far more survivable way to perform the mission than flying over a runway with a bunch of cluster bombs.

Go Native, Go North, Go Strait. Take the Sk60s off the roster and absolutely use them as an airshow/stadium flyby team. Rotate pilots who have been shot down through the demonstration team, so they can write stuff about going back to the world for a while. The AMXs will be our worst remaining plane, but if we ever need 4 deniable Mavericks we can sacrifice them, assuming sufficient SAR cover to get someone to fly the mission.

Keep all the planes! The SK60's are the only planes we have that have scored kills on ultramodern stealth aircraft, they deserve to die a glorious death! Option B Get the SK60B's upgraded to SK60C's. They can do recon then. Bering Straight We couldn't have bote for ourselves (I'm so disappointed in you goons), the least we can do is use our fancy new French thing to torpedo some.

Good for Yooper and planners since it harmonizes our aircraft fleet a lot more. And good for us, since it gives us a little bit more low-cost oddball strike capability. Again, good idea. It also gets us a NEW form of guided munition to squander, the SBU-38. Bet of all, the only other planes that use it are France's own Rafales, so we shouldn't have too much theoretical competition for the supplies. On an unrelated note, going through the unit lists, it seems that the only British (exclusively) build jet worth thinking about is the Jaguar. The Lighting is a short legs point interceptor, the Hunter too slow, and the Harrier is too Harrier. The Singapore Hunter is worth a look, if only due to being able to carry 4 Mavericks. EDIT: Nope, the Jag was also split with the French. Just asking, but did the British EVER do anything engineering related right without someone to hold their hands? omegasgundam fucked around with this message at 04:04 on May 25, 2017 |

Canon method of Reaper ferry: truck. Don't ask me what happens if the Bering theater winds up winning. I guess we rent a cargo ship if the C-130 doesn't get diverted to help out.quote:It had been several hours into the final push on Luanda, before Von Hoff provided a surprise ending to the campaign, and MEAT was getting tired. MEAT had actually gotten pretty good at identifying targets on the ground - even if all that was left for him to spot were vehicles that would have felt at home in the Korean war. They didn't stand a chance here. Not with him and his Reaper's Gorgon Stare system helping out the flyboys and their devastatingly modern weapons. And so he watched as Mbeke's forces cleared chokepoint after chokepoint, each time stopping only to watch an armored platoon threatening them spontaneously detonate. And each time, as per command's orders, the Reaper would move up to keep its many eyes on the action below. Soon Luanda itself was in sight range, and MEAT watched as one of the allied Gripens splashed a Fishbed just shortly after takeoff. Fishbed. He'd started to actually remember these names. To Be Continued... Forgive me, Tapco!
