So .. lets aim to have some rotational cover

POSITION A. HIGH ABOUT 2 MILES OUT FRONT OF BUFFS
POSITION B. HIGH OVER BUFFS (LAZY ZIG ZAGGING FROM LEFT TO RIGHT TO HOLD POSITION AND VISIBILITY OVER TOP)

NOT TOO BOTHERED ABOUT DIRECT 6 O CLOCK ATTACKS.
POSITON B CAN COVER THOSE FROM ABOVE THE BG


IF FRONTAL COVER DIVES THOUGH BUFFS GROUP CHASING HO ATTACKERS THEY WILL BE OUT OF POSITION AND SHOULD RECYCLE TO POSITON B

THOSE ALREADY IN POSITION B SHOULD MOVE FORWARD TO COVER THE HOLE LEFT IN POSITION A.

HOPE YOU FOLLOW.

Did some time/fuel comps today for escort prep. Assuming climb to 30k and then @70% throttle staying with the bombers (enough speed to do rotational), we will have to drop the tanks @ 7.7.3 area. This will give us best fuel estimate of 226Gal at Berlin...(not much fuel for combat fwiw)..just so you know. :)

Deep escort should all be on same TAC channel for coordination and support.
DTF routes would be nice to have .....keep us all together.

100% agree pappy. I actually prefer a fairly structured escort (3 at high 5oc, 3 at high 7oc, etc:). Much easier to see enemy contacts when you see 6 dots where there should be only 3! Also, prevents setting up the perfect bounce...on friendlies :mrgreen:
