Also while we may not need the AWACS due to the main threat being MANPADS there is always the possibility of unknown contacts being made plus possible civilian air contacts. As long as it won't put it out for other missions I would suggest sending the AWACS up just in case.

Also about buying the Frigate. On top of crew costs, replacement parts and ammo we also don't have a fixed base of any kind as far as I know. Without a port to put our Frigate in we run the risk of losing it to enemy action, weather and just bad maintenance. I suggest passing on the Frigate for now but maybe we want to consider finding somewhere low-key to set up a permanent HQ for stuff like this.

Guessing there is no chance that those are civilian bulk carriers and that we could find out their names and maybe possibly use https://www.vesselfinder.com/ to commit some war crimes. You know possibly. Also Yooper is it possible in game for our planes to fly with their IFF disabled? Doubt it would help us too much but we could always have some planes fly just outside of Burma and look for those bulk carriers as they enter the harbour area and do a quick hit and run. koolkevz666 fucked around with this message at 14:24 on Apr 5, 2017 |

I think we need to sink both of those bulk carriers without fail, if they get through that will curtail a lot of our air ops or at least make them harder to pull off. I would rather see us use more money to guarantee they die than to try and save in costs. As for the ground pounders, I say go for the US infantry, we only need a small few men and the better trained they are the better.

Air plan wise I vote for Bacarruda with secondary target Plan B We are going to piss off Mynamar anyway when we strike those cargo ships so the less we piss them off the better plus our pilots should have a better chance of getting out.

Is there any Harriers going around? I'll forgo all my pilot's salary except the basic amount to live if I could get a Harrier for my pilot even if that means swapping out of the AWAC plane. I just love Harriers and I think they could be useful for us anyway. Have them settle down in a small hidden away landing/takeoff area nearer to the Volunteers front line and they could provide quick and easy CAS.

It was mentioned that the "Volunteers" had brought up some MRLS right? Is there any chance that they could be brought into range of Lhasa and have them rocket that place to ruin? Other wise my suggestion is keep any future missions short and sweet. No long sweeping patrols or flight plans. Pick out a target, work out the shortest path to the target, make only one bomb or rocket or missile attack and then return to base. If asked to provide CAS or such only do so once specific targets are known. As for air patrol that is off the board completely at this point I would say. We just don't have the technology to counter the J20s if they are as capable as the Chinese say they are.

I was wondering about something recently, would it be possibly to carry out a sort of Area 88 style for our merc group where every Goon has their own personal plane instead of assigning Goons to wings of aircraft. It would be horribly inefficient compared to standard air groups but I could see it fitting more of a merc group where every pilot has their own personal plane they fly. Just a thought.

Yooper posted:Area 88 has been brought up, and each plane is already defined to a Goon callsign. Though we don't know who actually fired the missile that killed a bird for example. I'll do what I can to differentiate targets, like a runway for example, but if four gripens all shoot at the same target and it dies I'll have no idea who killed it. Ah that's cool, I wasn't thinking of trying to work out better pilot skills just a more varied aircraft mix for each Goon. Like earlier we were talking about purchasing a whole load of Soviet aircraft but instead of doing that we could ask each Goon here what plane they would like for their pilot, of course not sure how'd that work with a shared income and such. Just an idea I had I guess.

Zip Also I doubt we will be fighting just the Free State we will also likely be fighting the Dictator and his forces and if he is looking to grow Angola through the international sale of Lithium we may have to be watch out for him offering trading incentives to foreign super powers in exchange for equipment and forces. koolkevz666 fucked around with this message at 20:52 on Apr 16, 2017 |

Question for the thread: Can anyone draw up a list of what assets we currently have and we can see what we need to replace and fill in? Also I think we need to decide on what theater we want to participate in first before we buy any new equipment as the theater of operations we choose will likely determine what equipment we need. Question for Yooper: In regards to the Angola theater of operations can you reveal what political and financial backings the three possible employers possess?

Angola supporting the Dictator. He has the backing of the world, his troops are in defensive positions and they have the tech and supply advantage. If we support the Dictator we have a solid base to work from whereas, the other two options will require us to do a lot of work for little reward and risk losing just about everything to one or two bad incidents. Risk to reward we should go with the Dictator.

I'm glad we went with Rohan in the end I would hate to think of the state she would end up in after having India turn it's back on her we then did the same. Also what's with the sudden hard on for drones from everyone? We did okay with our AWAC plane and intel from our employer against China and now we are up against some third rate dictator and you all want the flashiest toys. On another note Yooper any chance I could be swapped to a fighter plane and fly wing man for Rohan I really want her to live.?

All right reading the above statement means I got to ask. Are the MLRS's in a position where they can launch a bombardment or will they be travelling in convoy to a firing position? So far it sound slike the MLRS's will be travelling and thus mobile until they reach a point where they can fire on us. Is this right Yooper?

The count should really learn to understand that aid shouldn't be distributed till after the area is secure. Right now it is too hazardous to be running aid convoys especially ones that are under his control. at least i think they are under his control, so not sure exactly what their status would be. Either way the plans people have put out are great and I'll get around to picking one to vote for but at a minimum we need to be sure that we achieve the three main goals with 100% success before we go for any additional objectives. Also some of you need to get over your dislike of cluster munitions, we are mercs not peacekeepers we are here to make money not win the hearts and minds. That's the count's job.

Operation: Maximum War Crimes MLRS attack: 2x Gripen with air to air load out 2x Frogfoot with ground strike/SEAD and 2x Hawk with cluster bomb munitions. 1x Tornadoes with SEAD loadout. 6 Sk-60 with rocket loadouts Convoy defense: 2x Gripen 2x F4 with A2A loadouts patroling over the convoys. 1x Tanker to keep them in the air. Tank column attack: 2x F4 with A2A loadouts escort. 4x F4 with 2000lb bombs 1x Tornado with SEAD loadout. Opportunity strike: 2x Gripen with A2A loadouts escort. 2x Tornadoes with SEAD/HARM missiles. 1x Prowler with HARM missiles. Reserve: The S-100 orbits close to our base and provides overwatch. 2x Gripen with A2A loadouts on ready 5. They scramble after any enemy air assets spotted. This is a modified proposal from Saro's, it isn't meant to be particular serious I just wanted to throw out something with cluster munitions for the hell of it. I'll probably continue to throw out hail mary style maximum war crimes proposals as we increase our equipment just for fun and practice.

I never said the war crimes were for our enemies only did I? On a serious note. Yooper is it possible to vector our strike against the MRLS's in transit? Or will we have to wait till they reach their launch positions? My thought for the MRLS strike was that we hit them while they are moving, I am guessing any serious AA assets would need to be stationary for full effectiveness then again i could be wrong. As for the tank strike mission it depends, if I had time I could go back and modify the plan, divert those two Gripens from opportunity to ground attack. Then again I also want to give the Frogfoots their incendiary bombs for maximum hate and war crime. Too late now but something I will consider in the future.

On the one hand no one wants to see aircraft lost due to errors but on the other hand we are a merc unit so mistakes happen. I'd rather take it as part of the game and learn from what happened and try and change a few things. I think if Yooper had to pause the game to make changes in real time it would lose some of the production value. Just my thoughts. Also Rohan did no wrong, she did exactly what she said she would and I find no fault with that.

MrYenko posted:Fun fact: They're half-way to being a mercenary operation already. They do significant amounts of high-altitude testing just off the east coast of Florida. It's pretty common to see them on radar up at 60,000 feet flying huge lazy circles, carrying air sample rigs and such. They actually do more testing and research flying than they do airshow displays. Hold on a minute. There is actual real life quasi PMC with aircraft? That's insane I thought it was all in the realms of games and make believe. As for that consortium if diplomacy doesn't work then suggest to them that if they don't buy the Lithium there may be unfortunate "accidents" to their people and equipment in the future. Just a friendly piece of advice for them. Edit: Ah they do training missions for the US and their allies, for a minute their I thought they carried out actual offensive operations for a price.

Yooper posted:Count Von Hoff is going to make a statement. It seems he has some connections with De Beers and will be able to use that tidbit of information in a rather unorthodox way. I, uh, not sure I like it. Beyond that the Count says he needs more CAS and Air Interdiction over the main engagement areas. Looks like the big push is happening between us an Monongue. Excellent. I'll start thinking up the next Maximum War Crimes plan as we wait.

NVM As for Rohan of course she can have an extra chance though really she did nothing wrong so it is more like just continued employment. Tell her not to worry. As for that nasty S-300 it looks like saturating the location with HARMs is the only way and if that fails we need to stay the hell away from it. Now if we had some decently equipped ground troops we could send them in to neutralise it but we choose the highly motivated but poorly equipped team didn't we. Does anyone know if they can pulse the S-300's radar or will it need to be on constantly to be effective?

Operation: I love War Crimes Battle Map:  Operation: 1) The MQ-9 Reaper and both Sperwer UAVs begin deployed in positions above or near to the 3rd,5th and 19th regiments at a high enough attitude where they can observe the Bulgarian advance and the Dictators air defenses. Special attention is to be given to spotting the S-300 battery. 2) The 6 Saab SK60Bs take off from Lubango loaded with 145mm rockets and are to follow path D heading east and then north towards the highlighted enemy airfield. Their mission is to make it appear they are attempting to bomb the enemy airfield and cause as much damage as possible. The SK60s are to continue following the D path until enemy air elements vector towards them after allowing the enemy to approach but not enter weapons range they are to abort and return to Lubango at safest speed and heading. Their entire purpose is to attempt to draw enemy air elements to them, if this strike fails to raw enemy attention and if by chance enemy air defenses are non-existent at the enemy airfield go ahead and rocket it. In the more likely scenario this isn't the case and they don't draw attention then attempt to rocket enemy infrastructure that is undefended. 3) Shortly after the Sk60Bs have launched a full CAP flight consisting of 6 Gripens loaded with Meteor air to air missiles set to max intercept is to launch and head to a holding position over the 3rd,5th and 19th regiments following path C and set up a CAP patrol over our forces without entering range of enemy air defenses. 4) At the same time or after the CAP flight launches a strike flight of 2 SU-25 Frogfoots loaded with ZAB-500 Incendiary Bombs in the long range configuration with 2 Gripens loaded with Meteor air to air missiles set to max intercept is to launch and follow path A and attempt to take out the Diamond convoy. RTB safely after mission complete follow any path necessary to return home without further engagement. 5) Another strike flight is to launch after the diamond convoy one consisting of 2 Tornados with Taurus KEPD 350P loadout, 8 F4-E Phantoms with GBU-24 Paveway loadouts and 2 Hawk 209 with Maverick missile loadouts and 1 EA-6B prowler set up for jamming purposes. This strike flight is to head along path B and is to strike enemy ground targets AFTER they have engaged friendly forces. All strikes are to be done at maximum weapons release range with the prowler providing as much jamming capability as possible against enemy air defenses. All planes are to immediately RTB on release of all air to ground ordnance to re arm in the same configurations and then take off and strike the advancing enemy forces again. 6) The Saab S-100B flying as AWACS and the KC-135 Tanker is to fly up and hold position at point E, planes requiring refuel are to use the Tanker as necessary. There you go goons, it isn't that war crimesey and it isn't as detailed as other plans but it does the job. Also I know I left out the S-300 other than spotting that's because I plan around staying the hell away from it. The enemy is attacking us not the other way around i intend to try and take advantage of that. koolkevz666 fucked around with this message at 00:34 on Apr 25, 2017 |
