Wonder where we'll be visiting next? Also since I died I'm now a wisecracking ghost that helps with plane maintenance and puts lost tools in places where crew can find them.

Perfect job for HUMINT tbh. Note and convey which are occupied and convey that information to us. They are outside our UAV range right? Can we launch those from forward positions or are they runway only.

They feel that way against targets that can't defend, but they're essential versus peer-level enemies. Many will still get swatted from the sky by IADS if you use them clumsily still and ignore terrain masking.

Quinntan posted:The Sperwer really is intended only for armies to tow along and launch for tactical reconnaissance. It really isn't suitable for us. Seems it's truck launchable though at least, so no runway concerns. I could totally see it being useful, but it'd have to be launched early in an operation so the intel it gives can be dissected and used by the time the flyboys are up.

Growlers can contest the dominance of the S-400, and their presence is a huge boon versus them and other cutting edge SAM's. Against earlier stuff it's very effective at making sure that the missile forgets it's purpose in life the moment it leaves the rail. I think we'd be fine with a Prowler so long as we aren't engaging the super modern long range poo poo.

Be super careful using the claimed view ranges of most optical suites of that nature. They are almost without exception the result of marketing and don't take into consideration anything about atmospheric conditions, which are a huge deal. Same with IRST and thermal imaging systems. I think it's some abstraction of the devices resolution and other traits rather than a system being able to reliably peep an object at sixty miles away.

Odds are the MLRS site would have IR SAM rather than radar. Definitely agreed on the SEAD overwatch for the Frogfoot armor strike. poo poo, a Reaper at high altitude could probably pick off the Astros one by one, were it not for the threat of scrambled fighters.

Quinntan posted:You might get the launchers themselves that way, but an MLRS launcher is really just a truck with a lot of tubes, they're not super hard to replace. Now, if you saturate the area with 2600 bomblets, you're likely to get a bunch of support vehicles, stuff like reloaders and ammunition trucks, as well as the valuable support crews. Plus, they're quite close to the front line so when we capture the area we can get the NGOs that deal with minefield clearing to clear the area of UXO. Agreed. Cluster weapons are a valuable tool perfect for this kind of target. Just have to be certain that this strike is nowhere near a civilian settlement for PR.

Dong Quixote posted:Every operational plan should have the Prowler used in some sort of capacity. EWAR is something we have that no other side has to our knowledge. To leave it on the ground is like not launching our AEW plane. The Prowler flying in formation with a dedicated SEAD or Strike package is the ideal way to use it. Those jammers should be good for stuff we are likely to see.

S-300 lol. drat. When the time comes, that's an ideal SDB target. And it's probably mated tracking radar of course. And Prowler jamming for that flight would be extremely wise. 9K33M2 is the SA-8 Gecko, which we can avoid with proper altitude and range discipline. Pretty old.

HARM would have probably killed the SAM, but it has to be launched while the radar is active. It's the first anti radar missile IIRC that used an INS backup to keep it headed towards a target that toggled it's radar off. Later versions I believe have GPS functionality so if the target turns off it's radar, it still runs the risk of a HARM cosplaying as a JDAM smacking it.

One of my favorite scenarios is the British home fleet vs the Soviet Red Banner fleet. The Royal navy's only real chance versus the Kiev carrier and friends is timed salvos of Sea Eagles. The power output of a full fleet in full ECM mode is wild. Dandywalken fucked around with this message at 19:49 on Apr 23, 2017 |

SA-20 Gargoyle in the pic I think. Not an S 400 but pretty loving close. I'd treat it as a Patriot equivalent, extremely loving nasty. It needs to die. And in a methodical and planned manner, or else we'll lose airframes and crew. Locate it, and feed it SDBs if you can keep it's radar off. Terrain masking and denying radar locks is vital, so absolutely warrants jammer support. Dandywalken fucked around with this message at 02:30 on Apr 24, 2017 |

UberJew posted:works from the deck up to space with a longer range than a harm and relatively rapid fire capability, yep that's in the category of super nasty sams Think Gripens slinging SDBs from max range at altitude could work, target resolution permitting? Just slinging em from way up at speed, and immediately diving back away after weapons are launched. Should be overwhelmed if we can get them off at a good range.

I'm glad we're giving the Gargoyle the respect it deserves. Saturation is my preferred way to kill them anyways  it's one of those expensive systems where we will still come out ahead financially after Winchester even!Never used the Taurus though, but I've used the British Stormshadow and it's pretty loving effective.
