S3 Series

We are red they are gold. The areas left and below the thick border lines are the Axis territory.

Thank you Noflyz. It's a really busy week for me and not use to being the first one up.

What do you think about attacking the East end first like 207 and 8. I am also thinking about having the NS hit 252and 260 with a sneak attack.

Feedback please good or bad......

Keep in mind that the red airplanes shown on the chart are AI TARGETS that "may" attract enemy aircraft to the area. When they are engaging the AI, there will be many aircraft in the neighborhood at low altitude.

It looks like 206 might be good for the NS then if they want it. 194 and 258 looks better then. Still that will leave them forward fields to launch from. If we can get the coverage, I would like to shut down the east, but will listen to those smarter than I on these matters.

Thoughts anyone?

My few cents:

We need a few steps close to the front in Yak-3s each frame to defend our Ai planes, lest the enemy will pile up on points en masse for free.
* We only have 1 full frame of Yak-3s/squad so should rotate which one is on Ai defence duty each sunday.
* Yak-3s has very limited fuel time so need to be close to the front. Thus we CANNOT, thank god, go with the tactic: "Let's all save the best plane for last frame and lose all the other frames just to shine in the fifth".

The *La5-FN is better suited for escorting our strikers (almost twice the fuel time of the yak-3).

Could have a few steps of fighter pukes every second frame in P-39Qs to strike easy targets or make deep strikes on ships on the west coast of Crimea (near the LW MOB base).

Cheers and thanks for stepping up sir

So can we agree to east the eastern front. Set up a wall of fighters in front of the bombers protecting the AI's and the close enough to the protect the bombers if need be. I still would like those sneaky NS in the North if possible.

I know it's a risk but I am hoping we can pull if off.

Your low AI IL2s will be easy meat for the enemy but they will be in small numbers and coming from multiple directions so they cannot sit in one area and gangbang them. You will have lots of friendly ships attacking across the Kerch straits that you will need to protect as well. Even though the LW doesnt have dedicated strike a/c they have a few squads that are quite good at jabo missions.

Thank you Jabo,

Ok, then I want to concentrate on 194 and 258 and have our fighters guard the East. This is leaving the North open and not sure how to protect it without leaving our ranks then. Maybe put the 4th and 100th up North and the 352nd East.

The rest of us Strikers East. NS, what are you preferred rides. Nomads, let me know what you think we should take.
