Vote for Klaus and Petersen We will get Viggens and we will go LOW AND FAST If possible I'd like to claim a CAS aircraft, callsign Mud Mover As for the name of the PMC, I'd like something that sounds totally harmless like Bespoke Solutions Inc Neutrality Assured is fine too

Right then, now that we are signed on with the Eurotrash lets have a review of our capabilities. Logistics/Support KC-135: More than enough for our needs, slow and vulnerable but it's a bloody tanker. Not much nuance here beyond the fact it can only extend the range of our Gripens and nothing else at current. CN-235-200: Very much a medium/light transport. Only 6000kg carry capacity, We aren't going to be recreating a Berlin airlift with this . S100B: Good news! Great loiter time and decent all round sensor performance. Bad news, slow as balls and completely defenceless. Keeping this protected should factor into all mission planning when we know there are hostile air assets about. Combat Aircraft SK60b: Payloads seem limited depending on what we can bash together and it's slow too with a max speed of 400 knots however the rockets we do have are very versatile. 135mm rockets are bloody big, giving the HE great splash for dealing with soft targets and the AP have serious punch. Lack of any real sensor package however makes them quite vulnerable to both ground and air. These will not survive in any AO with hostile air or decent SAM coverage, even AAA and MANPADS will give them trouble. Good for COIN though, but we should consider upgrading these with some serious strike aircraft in the future (AJS-37 comes to mind) JAS 39C Gripen: Our real workhorse, it can do everything essentially. Fantastic sensor package, ECM and solid TGP capability. When combined with our AWACS the Meteor missile should give us an edge in any CAP situation. Lack of SEAD ordnance is a bit of a problem for strike missions as while the BK90 has great standoff, finding enemy SAM sites to drop them on can be a bit of a bother. Thoughts Going forward, we are in a good initial position with capable aircraft and ordnance. However we must take care to preserve what we have given the vulnerable nature of all our assets aside from the Gripen. But with thorough planning there is no mission we cannot accomplish. Pending our first contract I will produce recommendations on future procurement based on our performance. Enfield303 fucked around with this message at 12:33 on Mar 31, 2017 |

I vote for Tibet with an aim towards supporting the Indians because the Dalai Lama kicks rear end The complete lack of cover and our limited amount of assets make operating over the water dangerous at best. There will be nowhere to hide if we get in trouble. Tibet's mountainous terrain gives us valleys for our otherwise defenceless CAS jets to run through and our nimble Gripens will do well too Enfield303 fucked around with this message at 16:31 on Mar 31, 2017 |

In the face of the growing tide of Eco terrorists I switch votes to supporting India in Tibet. Mandatory screenings on "Why pissing off the world with unsanctioned terrorism in our first outing is a bad idea" Training Film start Monday with a followup sensitivity class on "Jesus Christ let us make some money before we go insane"

gradenko_2000 posted:Why India over the TLA directly? I'm not trying to contest, just genuinely curious. UN remit probably gives us a nicer PR angle than working directly with rebels. Cathode Raymond posted:Well I would also prefer sanctioned terrorism but we don't always get to choose what types of terrorism we get paid for. But we can, first we build up a shiny reputation. Then we do shady poo poo and nobody will believe it plus we don't cut ourselves off from future suppliers.

Cathode Raymond posted:You make a lot of good points and I see your logic but I'm an impatient psychopath and I want to terrorize now. Think of it this way, if we don't tangle with a US carrier group right now. When it comes time to burn entire towns to ash..we can do it with premium US made Napalm and Swedish cluster bombs. You know, the good stuff.

I'll have to run through the exact loadout options in a sec but just to get my current idea out there. A pair of Gripens for each of the escort runs with full CAP loadouts with Meteors, plus one pair loaded with mix of Mavericks (RB75) and IR A2A missiles to suppress the enemy AAA while our SK60's aircraft roll in with the rockets, very quick strike ...one pass and haul rear end. AWACS will be running at a safe distance the whole while. This should give us plenty of flexibility to move to any flashpoint should any contact be made outside of the ground strike
