S3 Series

F-32 has no radar....so that leave basically the whole 8.1 box free of enemy radar correct? If I'm reading this map correctly.....if you take out radar at 19 then the whole 9.1 box is clear of enemy radar coverage...
Roll 4-5 Hvy 109's neutralize Ack and Radar at F-19....have them RTB when radar is destroyed...they can meet BG on their egress home to provide additional cover. If a opportunity presents itself later in the frame we could muster a quick strike on F-19 to close......more points..... less Russian bases.....its a win-win.....
I think F-19 would be the more practical target.....thoughts......

Sakai,

We need to get going on this so I can get cracking on the time hacks for you all. Does Epic plan sound good to you?

OK that is fine.

The main reason I routed you guys south was to keep you as far away as possible from any additional Soviet support.

Go ahead and plan for a more direct route to 25 with your Jabo 109s taking care of 19.

I will post final orders tonight with field assignments.

I will have secondary and tertiary targets for each squad to review and implement as they see fit. That way, we can all have missions through the end of the strike period.

Sakai,

You're the air boss brother so whatever you want, we will do it. We can plan our route to insure that we will be able to meet up with our escorts before the buzzards get to us.

Good luck in the big chair buddy!

Attack on F-19 Times Hacks......We'll need 4-5 Hvy 109's.....maybe 328th FS of 352nd can take this on....I'll have to talk to the Top Brass.
Roll F-211 angle 090 degrees with Climb speed set at 200 mph. LvL at 15K(7.1.2.2) proceed on to (9.1.1.1) for there make angle to 052 straight into F-19
Arrive F-19 at 15K at T+15 minutes. Have 1 plane fly no defuse....the rest with delay. First plane....first run...SW-NE
radar is positioned in SW corner next to 2 40mm emplacements a bomb placed on or near radar emitter will destroy the 2 40mm positions..... The lead plane
can destroy remaining 88. The next wave of planes can commence their attack on radar... Should have radar down no later that T+20......if all goes according to plan.
Once you complete your Bomb run climb back to alt and provide high cover. After Radar is down...RTB to respective fields...
I'm thinking the F-19 Strike force should be refueled/re-armed and back in the air by no later than T+35.

On dropping a bomb on or near the radar and destroying both 40mm guns......in the S3 the gun positions are tougher to bring down. Don't think 1 bomb can destroy both 40mm...

Epic,

Do you have a RP for us and a time you want us to be there?

You give us a time and place and we'll meet ya there. 328th FS (5-7 aircraft) will attack and destroy the F-19 radar. That leaves the 486th and 487th Fighter Squads for your initial cover.....they should have #'s around 13-15 Aircraft. You also have embedded fighter at your disposal correct? Once 328th is done with F-19 radar we can RTB and be back up for escort duty at T+35. The 328th FS will rally where needed. Are you going to roll at T+1 Hawk? Do you want us to take out radar F-19 before you roll.....?? Like i said, with no enemy interference we can have radar F-19 down by T+20.... You let us know.......the meet time/place/Alt....etc

Consider this, F-19 goes down, North Group breaches Dar at speeds and formation of a buff group a few minutes later so the 19 looks like a diversion. Knights could then enter the Dar gap a short time after that so that by the time the Russkies discover the Northern mob is just hungry 109s, the knights just show on Dar and plaster the target. I'm not sure on exact timing or if we need to wait for "go commands" to make it work.

Remember we're just hitting Radar and Comm Hut and the three ack positions....this is not for closure...If time permits later in the frame, we can form a strike group to finish it.. This will be a lightning quick hitter..


That sounds great Zinhawk......You guys would probably have to roll at T+0 to pull of the ruse
