S3 Series

I am thinking the RCAF and Night Stalkers use the Typhoons and get a quick strike while the bombers are getting to alt, the rest of the fighter squads use fighter of choice ans be ready to escort bombers and/or jump low LW chasing the low Typhoons.
Exact targets are awaiting on the Donkey.

Any ideas are welcome.

You can pretty much hit anything in the Mission area except the bridges. XXX Corps wants those bridges badly. Prime targets are the major airfields at L26, M23 and T45. Tac fields are also important points.

Typhoons low and moderately slow are in need of cover.
If tiffie can maintain discipline and keep above 300mph minimum they need no escort....
But, hit ratio will reduce by 50% per sortie.

If the Tiffies hit M24 low and fast, the LW should have a hard time getting to M23 and L26 for higher bombers.

Where do the bombers want to start, L2, M99 or M12? Bombers will be hitting M23 & L26

Tiffies at M25, first target is M24 (RCAF & NS)

4th & 8th at L19 and 352 at L27, in position to escort bombers and protect our targets from LW, maybe the Typhoons will need some egress cover. I ill leave that to situation and 352nd needs and availability.

Fuel is at least 50%. Once take off recovery at any field is fine.

In this S3 we get 3 lifes per frame. You just need to fly a different plane each time.
Fighter groups have Spit IXe and XIVe and Typhoon in frames 1-3
NS has P47D, DH98 VI and TYPHOON in frames 1-3
Bombers are B25C& B25H & B25J in frames 1-3

They can be taken order. Surviving in less than 3 AC WILL AWARD INDIVIDUAL POINTS.
Strike AC must carry ord and use it accordingly. NS has all strikers on our side. Every fighter squad has a striker in the Typhoon.

Salute!

Nomads will have 2, maybe 3 if Gofly is up to it. So I guess we fly with the DR.

My initial thots are to use DR and Nomads as "strike" versus the standard st-and-level buff profiles. This scenario is a tactical one, and no strategic tgts or points or anything. We are trying to get the bridges and could care less about ball bearings or airplane factoris or....

The DR folks are getting better at the strike stuff, and Nomads have done it for years.

Just got back to Florida and unpacked, so will check for latest WB downgrades and try the latest degraded flight models. We are in the Panhandle and have zero problems other than all the gas going south, heh heh.

I am sorry to report that Pd has gone west, so Gums and Gofly are the oldest Nomads still flying. Gundoc has already signed up and will represent the 22nd.

Beaver and Gums are two folks here that flew in the very first S3 and got medals or something. We are still here and the series frames give us a chance to get away from all the politics and other bad news of the day.

I would really like to see an overall strategy for the Allies that frame commanders could use for planning their turn in the hot seat.

Gums sends...

Please note Gummy Bear, you can't hit bridges.
