-Fleet Speed 30kts
-AE - F4U's, Launch T+0 and Grab, Escort AI Group until clear, then attack shipping targets of opportunity. Subsequent sorties permitting attack shipping. (given sufficient #'s to escort and strike, you can peel off 4 or so to strike shipping earlier)

Launch T+100: Target Factory 171 (Kochi)

- Night Stalkers & Nomads @ F191 - B25J - NOE anti shipping strikes (Inland Sea, if possible... otherwise around outer coasts) (let me know if you prefer to switch to CV and TBFs)

Fooo- Rules state carrier group must sail at 30 knots fwiw.

Fooo... i'm requesting AE's out of 195 in Marine corps F4U-4's

Salute!

Basic plan looks good.
++++++++++++
Nomads request to go with the Stalkers. Avg attendance has been one or two Stalkers and two Nomads. So figure 4, maybe 5. And we've been very good for 3 frames.

DR's could get up to 5 or more because the Libs are more their style. Darryl need to comment.

Gums sends...

Thanks for comments:
split - will adjust CV speed
gums - will put you with NS if the DR can get 4-5 pilots
besea - I thought the F4U-4 didn't become available until frame 5. Was something changed in earlier frames?
Also, let me know if you'll have more than 10 or so... If so, we can do like last frame and you put 4 onto dedicated ship hunting...

you're are correct... Mr. Fooo...my bad... well take the 1D then

Sugguest CVs spon at 5,4 heading 360. 4th will be in F4s but launch from 191 to take advantage of airstart. Wil RZ with AI's enrout to their target, which is ?????

Bombr,
My intention was to put them close so that we could get the strikes in quickly.. and have them move away over time to make it harder to keep an enemy CAP.

Also note, since AE have requested F4U-1D, I would like to put them on the CV and give 4th opportunity to fly P51D this frame...
Making that update in draft orders, unless you have objections...

Thanks,
-fooo-

CAP for CV is not required. Rules say they cannot be attacked. Need them to continue north or the distance will prevent time for 2nd sortie. Trust me, wehad to deal with this in frame 1.

The ENEMY will cap our cv if too close. Youll land and be unable to takeoff again
