Don't forgot they also get incendiary bombs as well which are also great especially for say killing infantry.

Option 1.

It is the most harmful operation for our employer I personally believe the double wammy of the enemy landing troops and securing the area and cutting off our employer's supply lines is just too high of a risk to ignore it for later not to mention if they lay mines it could change to an escort mission and who likes escort missions?

Operation: Macross Missile Massacre

Objectives:
Destruction of hostile landing vessels
Destruction of hostile mine layers
Destruction of hostile mine sweepers
Protection of Aerial assets

Step 1.

Anti-aircraft ground weapons are to be deployed at Burgas Airport along with ground radar system, They are to work with our CAP to protect our aerial assets.

Step 2.

6x Mirage 2000C equipped for air to air combat is to establish a CAP over the area of operation, while launching from Ravnets keeping within support range of ground based air to air systems to protect strike assets. At the same time the SAAB is to be launched from Ravnets along with the Prowler so that the SAAB can provide electronic and radar support while the Prowler provides jamming capabilities.

Step 3.

Surface attack assets should be 4 wing pairs, each of an F-16 (Sharpshooter/GBU-10 loadout) and A-6 (Skipper loadout). Launch the Atlantique first, and between it's surface search radar and our ELINT assets, we should be able to positively locate the Frigate. Our F-16/A-6 teams should then be able to strike the LSTs from 15 km out (F-16 designates, Skipper shoots), and as long as they come in from the side away from the Frigate, they should never have to enter Sparrow range. The F-16s then have Paveways left to either bomb the frigate (if it shoots itself dry), or to go help the Atlantique blow up Minelayers/Minesweepers.

At the same time as the above strike 2x MQ-9B Reaper are to launch from Burgas airport and launch Brimstone missile strikes against hostile landing craft.

If enemy frigate is known to have launched all sparrow missiles then remaining ordnance is to be used to destroy hostile frigate after landing ships have been confirmed sunk. Otherwise landing craft are priority targets.

Step 4.

At the same time as step 3 is being carried out 1x BR.1150 Atlantique is to launch from Ravnets and to proceed south armed for air to surface combat and to sink the hostile mine laying vessels before returning to base.

Step 5.

If after the destruction of the enemy landing ships and mine layers and we still maintain air superiority any units with remaining air to ground ordnance are to strike and sink approaching mine sweeping vessels once they are within the protection of our CAP and ground based AA defenses.

Step 6.

On mission objective completion all units are to RTB with the CAP being the last to land.

This will be an absolute 100% departure from what we're used to. It's like a bumfights for planes. In testing I've seen entire flights of Mirages dogfight and not gain a single kill. It's epic.

Yes perfect that is exactly the type of thing I want to here. More crazy ace combat shenanigans rather than modern tactical fights.

Last mission was awesome! Enemy napalm strikes on tons, cluster munitions falling out near AA sites. dogfights, explosions. It was wonderful shame about the losses but they are to be expected and adapted to.

Operation: Cheeki Breeki

Base at Dobroslavtsi Air Base: 6 x Mirages 2000C and 4 x F-16DG, 2 x Yak 141 also 2 x or 1x MQ-9B Reaper

Base at Sofia Intl: 1 x EA-6B Prowler, 1 x SAAB, 4 x A-6

Anti-aircraft and ground radar is to be split between both bases as equally as possible.

Operations map:

Launch 6 x Mirages 2000C from Dobroslavsti Air base equipped for air to air combat and they are to establish a CAP over the area of operation shown in the yellow box. They are to maintain this CAP until all strike missions have completed their missions before returning to base.

Launch 2 x Yak 141 from Dobroslavsti Air Base equipped for air to ground combat and they are to fly yo the area of operation and destroy the SAM site protecting the depot. If they survive and have remaining ordnance after confirming the destruction of the SAM battery they are to destroy the depot itself. They are then to RTB.

Launch 1 x Saab from Sofia Intl and have it remain on station where it can provide radar coverage for the area of operations while staying as close to the airfields as possible. If enemy fighters break through our CAP the Saab is to immediately RTB as quickly as possible. Have it RTB after all strike missions are complete.

Launch 1 x EA-6B Prowler from Sofia Intl and have it provide jamming support for the area of operation have it RTB as soon as all strike missions are complete.

Launch 4 x A-6 from Sofia Intl equipped for air to ground combat and have them destroy the artillery in the area of operations marked by the blue box before having them RTB.

Launch 4 x F-16DG from Dobroslavsti Air Base equipped for air to ground combat and have them destroy the Olifant tanks currently stuck at the area of operations as shown by the red box, if they have remaining ordnance after destroying said tanks they are to strike the other group of Olifant tanks before having them RTB.

Launch 1 x or 2 x (depending on numbers remaining)MQ-9B Reaper Drones from Dobroslavtsi Air Base armed with paveway bombs they are to fly over to the BMP units on the western flank and destroy the BMP units there before returning to base.

Voting a Bridge too far and Dance Card. Yes I haven't voted for my own plan, mostly because as people have said I got the mission brief wrong and planned it as a strike mission and not continued CAS. As it is, it is far too late to change anything.

Also how will the Yak attack work as CAP? Didn't it say we had to give it a target to attack or was it a target or a mission like CAP?

Yes! We're paid, but it became difficult for our accountant team to differentiate retainers, destructo-bux, losses, gains, write-offs, alcohol, graft, goat BBQ's, and of course rent. As such our employers pay the fees into a Cayman Island account that is routed to Suisse Bank before finally being spread into a dozen countries that lack extradition treaties. You know, in case this whole mercenary thing doesn't work out we still have a golden parachute. Lol, literally.


There's more. Lots more. Arsenal AD is working with the Hosaka recovery team but these tanks seem to be missing something. More to come later!

Dance with the Angels PMC

After taking a joke one step too far on his favourite gaming forum, a rich american senator's son set out into the world to build his own "Ace" squadron and show everyone he was a force to be reckoned with. Heading to Russia he used his and his father's vast amount of wealth to buy a number of Russian planes that suited his needs as well as hiring a number of ex-russian air force pilots to fly them. Unfortunately his decision to have all the planes painted over with Idolmaster skins turned almost all of the highly qualified pilots away in disgust leaving him with only the average and desperate. Still it was enough and now the Dance with the Angels PMC takes the sky for any client, anywhere in the world if you can afford them and handle the embarrassment.

Force composition:

1 x Su-35S Flanker E (Squadron leader only)

MiG-31 Foxhound Fighters

Su-25SM3 Frogfoot A Attack Planes

2. Knock out the internet even if the blimps can beam some of the signals out afterwards it would be a big restriction on their capability and we can always go after the blimps later, plus if this disables some of the tanks without destroying we could try and capture them and make our own.

A strike by advanced planes would be nice but it could also effectively go to waste as it is a target not of our choice plus I believe the strike is happening during the mission not before, could you confirm which it is please Yooper? If it is during any recon we get would be last minute and after planning thus not as useful.

Adnan

While getting an advanced weapon could be useful it would be in limited numbers and the reliability would likely be an issue as well. Probably best if we stick to what we have and work with that,

Cadets

While their reliability is questionable at best the fact we can choose a target for them to strike is a big advantage over the others I feel and may be our best shot at achieving something useful.

Will wait for Yooper's confirmation on when the choice we choose takes effect before voting.

Yeah as other's have said never be afraid to make a plan, it doesn't have to be super complicated and Yooper is great at making your plan work as well as possible in the game itself. I used to make ridiculous war crimes heavy plans because it was fun, never expected them to be chosen but it is strangely fun designing plans for this sort of thing.

Alternate option but considering our low ammo roll this turn and potential for the future can we maybe have Zebba go out and establish some black market contacts and see if we can't acquire some additional munitions for our air fleet?

koolkevz666
Aug 22, 2015
Helicopters are usually used generally for close air support for ground troops as well right? So if they are performing in that role then the air space would have to already have been secured anyway. Plus for every BVR missile you strap on that's one less hard point you can use for the ground attack role thus limiting their usefulness for the troops on the ground I think?

I could be wrong here but I think what we want to do is launch air to ground operations well before the C-130 arrives to locate and destroy hostile ground threats and then have a CAP and escort for the C-130 planned out for when it arrives?

Also this is probably a very dumb question but Yooper does the French government have any satellites or other recon assets over or in the AO that could help us locate the hostiles?

What about hiring some more ground assets? If we can get some recon troops in long range Humvee to go out into the AO before operations and provide recon from the ground for every mission could that help us? I know we have Zebba but if we can get some recon assets with actual military experience and training that may help us locate threats and targets that are hidden or had to spot from the air.
