Nightstalkers/Nomads/Doolittle's Raiders F17 Looking at B-25J with enough bombs to do the job.


4th will be tasked with shutting down radar in the south. Need a quick strike on the radar at 136 to blind the Germans in the target area.
Here is a photo from the north looking south. (no points)


Missions assigned for frame 2
KK YY ZZ RRR SSS QQQ JJ


RCAF mission KK directly attack bridge spans near 104 get in and out want you to make them look that way but don't linger.
secondary missions will be to aid in escort as fuel/time allows. you may be called upon to assist in finishing off targets, familiarize yourselves with other targets assigned

4th FG Hit radar 136 as noted above. Get out of dodge. if you can hit bridges YY or ZZ on the way out feel free to do so.
secondary missions will be possible strike and or escort depending on targets left & bomber pilots available. Familiarize with RRR SSS QQQ also.

AE & 8th
provide escort/sweep for bomber group. Keep the fighters off the bombers and kill bad guys. bomb group will meet you in assembly area and proceed south. See bomb group orders for details.


Bomb Group
Launch heavy B-25j either 1000 pound bombs or 500lb bombs (Perhaps Gums will chime in)
grab altitude off radar, Assembly area will be a racetrack from 5.5 cross to 5.4 cross once assembled and at altitude wait for ok from AE & 8th to head south along the 5.X line.
AT 5.2 cross turn left and head for F136... continue to IP IP is just west of f133... turn south to targets.
Targets are ships at port 128 (SSS) and 3 bridges across the northern side of the river (RRR) see pic




over 128 Turn to heading 136 and hit railway tunnel entrance (sub pen) (QQQ) after first sub pen turn right to 210 for second sub pen. Right turn egress out to north north west.



BOMBERS second mission LOW LEVEL port attack (JJ)
remaining bombers or second life bombers will wait for fighter squads to refuel & rearm. Want an escorted NOE raid to destroy shipping at port 105 (will post recon photo later)

Did we take down the dar at 134 (Arty site but has a DAR antenna there?

not from work

Will try and go offline and take a screen shot later from home.

RCAF has it's orders,we may take a couple Typhoons or Mossies to give us extra fire power.

Check variants... you might be able to get a mossie variation with a few more cannon rounds in it.

Salute!

I like the 3 x 1000 pound eggs on a Mitchell for the night. They take down the bridge spans and boats.

I tried the tunnels with a 2000 pounder and the thing went down. Maybe another buffer can try it after loggin and then going offline with the settings. You might also try 2 or 3 X 1000 with the delay set to 51 mec. I may try that later, but my BBQ ribs are calling me...........

Gums sends...

4FG NOE route to 136. TO 31 to 6,2 (+21min), to 133 (0+24), to 7,1 (0+27), to TP sw of 136 (0+29), to TGT 136 (TOT 0+30) loop east around 137 then to Bridge (0+25), F31 (0+57)

Gums... I think 500lb bombs are adequate for bridges & boats... but we will need a lot of them on the tunnel entrances. I guess it all comes down to how many pilots we have.

Ty Bomber, that will be very helpful We would like to be at or near Bravo at that time.

Still need a decision about what to do with DAT at 134 Arty site.

lets assume we need to take out that building at 134... but not a suicide mission.

if I hear otherwise I will call it off tonight.
