Doolittle Raiders - 2 steps at F2 and 2 Steps at F10. Take the IL2 and head for Sevastapol. While fully loaded (4 rockets and 4 100 KG Bombs) the Pony burned 9 Gallons per 20 miles travelled, with a 189 Gallon tank, your range is 21 grid squares or 420 miles. Plenty of Legs to get to Sevastapol and back. I did this travelling NOE (32') and my speed was 238 mph.
4x 100 KG = 2304 Damage
4x Rockets = 800 Damage
300x 23MM = 7260 Damage
So each aircraft is capable of 10364 Damage.
Sevastapol Has:
12 Wearhouses (WH) - 1500 each - 18,000
5 FacMod (FM) 4500 each - 6,500
3 Fuel (FD) 400 each - 1,200
37 LivMod (LM) 2500 each - 92,500
1 Radar Stn (RS) 1250 each - 1,250
1 Radar Hut (RD) 1600 each - 1,600
13 Wearhouse2 (EF) 2750 each - 35,750
1 Fact Complex(EB) 10000 each - 10,000
---------
166,800
166,800/10,364 = 16.09 so 17 Aircraft if all is perfect. Consider that 17 x 4 x 200 = 13,600 of these damage is from Rockets. I'd say Rocket accuracy is best at 1/4 - so 18 pilots minimum
DR has barely had 12-15 pilots each frame make it to target so far and given the holidays we will perhaps be lesser to start with.
IMHO this is mission impossible if DR are the only group going there.
Thoughts?
