S3 Series

Rules to Remember
-1 you can't turn with the Japanese Fighters, try & end up Sushi
-2 we are faster than the Japanese by a large margin below 10,000', I don't want to se anyone getting run down be Japs at 30,000'

Changes

AE- USS Enterprise - F4F-4 (no choice until we se their war ships or carriers)

Based at F60
Doolittle Raiders-6*B17 (max number), rest in fighter of choice-Alt 26,000' close 54, 53 then close port at Danika - both fields have 1 runway running SE to NW - 1 Dock at 54
RCAF - ride of choice, escort DR
Baed at F59
Knights & 8th - fly in advance of DR, break up any formations coming our way just cause mayhem
23rd-fly long range escort in front of buffs, clearing the way, be prepared to return to the buffs if they need help.

See below for Besea's ideas.

Any suggestions are welcome, AE tell me what you plan on as you told me you had some ideas

With all this disparate units escorting the buffs, I suggest we use TAC channek 16 for more coordinating coordination. I will send a link to my discord for those who wish to join, it is only good for a day so I will send it tomorrow morning

Well basically, every fighter group 23rd Rcaf and 8th along with 2 of my fighter guys make up Black Sheep(that's 12 total) .and fly the f4u's as cover for the DR. Buffs need to be 26K at least and will out pace zero,s at that alt..fighter just need to push high zero down under buffs dont let them have a dive on the buffs.make them tail chase.

I will take what's left off of Big E. I will have a strike package.lay and wait for Buff group to make there run on those airfields.when and only when the buff group make contact with the enemy which will draw ever fight they have..we slide from oppisite direction of buff run..and polish off any thing left with my strike package.if timmed right we will be over tgt about same time as DR make drop.and the Knights are my strikers.
Being low and slow Naval strike package we will need the distraction of a heave buff group to draw them away so we can move in closer. If Dr manage to close both airbases we will close the port.
Key is for the buffs to get to alt.us the strengths of the buffs which is speed at alt.to the zeros

Beaver
AE's and Knights are a composite..they are my strike group.

Are the field layouts the same as for the main arena?

Yes. Layout of the fields are same. They usually dont change fields in the arena's..that allot of programming changes..

Yes I know that, so you are sending the bomber escort a couple guys, easier to call then the knights than make up some other designation that not everybody understands. Just whoever you send, have them use the Knight's orders.

Buff route that I am looking at if we can go with 40% fuel.
take off f60 left turn to 11.3
rt turn to 12.3
rt - 12.1
rt to 10.2 at this time we should be lvl at 28k
inbd to trgt around 320deg.
total time to trgt is 38min. if we have to go with more fuel we will just have to extend the route. adding a lot more time.
this was with 40% and climb speed of 138. and 1600ib bombs
what you think.
