ANSWER: 22 TO 26. Bluzoos's lesson for the day.
184 max effort . one pass bombs on target is 27/ La5 or P39. Turning long and come through for strafing pass and run out to home. Thats using 100kg X 2 on la, or 1 x 500 on p39.(LA5 dropping salvo 2)
Targets are:
1 radar em: 2
1 radar shack : 2
1 hanger: 3
3 barracks : 3...........thats 3 per target.
2 ammos: 2per
2 fuels : 1 per
2 88mm AAA: 1per
2 40mm AAA: 1per
(26 sorties)
(24 sorties) Could kill planes on strafing pass.
(22 sorties) could aditional kill 88s on strafing pass. (
do not recommend this with 40mms.. )
Also could lessen sorties by dropping single bomb per ack. Do not recommend. Blast radius on smaller bombs so small on slight missmove and you miss the gun thats going to take you down.
So if you get assigned this one. Its what your up against. Makes you wish you played more domino's as a kid.
Let see.. 4th 18 + AE later 5 hits it= 24 and later 127 strafes planes on way back from ?. and everyone hits right on targets and and ..woow almost do able...Wait
we killed it.
Any way the math can be done maybe way.. I.E. AE hits it three times and 147 closes it.
or AE hits it twice , 127th once and 4th makes grand sweep and picks off two targets left.
Now im babbling so logging off.
THE ANSWER IS: 22 TO 26.
