S3 Series

We'd prefer the blue mission.

<S>

I'm considering your green route. I'm wondering if we can work timing to have a pre-fighter sweep push the loosewaffles back at the same time an anti-shipping strike comes in... still need to see if the timing works. What aircraft have our strikers preferred using?

I would cut that green line down so the ingress line comes in on the horizontal 8-line. We'll get you the time hack for it.

Just did some quick calculating (not sure if it is exact) from what Phenix showed from the last frame. It looks like the Axis may have picked up somewhere around 152 points to our 49 points. That cut our lead down to about 29 points.

FOOO, I think we better do some serious homeland defense or we're gonna lose this series. The Axis will do the exact same thing they did in frame 4. It gives them the best chance of winning the series.

In frames 1-3, we kept them to 50 points or less by protecting the Allied homefront targets. If you give us two-steps of fighters, the bombers should be able to take down 2-3 large airfields. We just need close air support, I think.

Strikers airframes

We have had good success with the Mossie in an anti shipping role. That would be my guess.
Of course Mtdew would have the final word.

FOOO:
I am making a push to get enough bomber pilots to take down L92, L93, L91, L89, and L74. To do so, we'd need to consider taking the Blue line in and the Green line for egress back to England. I'll let you know how the numbers are looking.

<S>

Did someone tell the Axis that we are flying this:
Operation Clarion was an Allied campaign of Strategic bombing during World War II which attacked 200 Nazi Germany communication network targets to open Operation Veritable/Grenade

Vs
Operation Point score: do what you want to score the most points so you get a "W" in the W/L column.

Or am I missing the points of the S3s...

Maybe they need to relook at points...the deeper the targets, the higher the risk, the more the points.... so guys will be more inclined to follow the intent vs just win.

Salute!

Agree withya, Dobs.

I would think that a 92/91 run would suffice for the buffs. And BTW, I think F19 is closed.

As far as points, those JU drones offer an oppo. And then there's the Knights, who have flown from F44 and are likely to do so again if they wish to hit us within 30 minutes of T + 0. Seems that two light steps could search and another sit on rwy alert. Hell, we got 40 mile dar, and it's hard to stay below dar unless over the ocean.

As Wolf has pointed out, we can see where Jabo has loaded our parked planes, and defend those. Our own drone routes also offer an oppo to the LW, so we have to figure that into the plan.

With my recent history of Disco-mania, I can be GCI versus flying with the DR. Bombr is also a great GCI dude, and Pd could be if he gets his new 'puter working in time.

Gums opines...

Are we not concerned about winning this series?

FOOO:
The following time-hack is using the Green line, but incorporating the 3 targets of the Blue line, also. All of this is contingent upon me being able to rally the bomber pilots in sufficient numbers to take on the challenge. We'll look at the numbers the night of S3 and make the final determination. We'll will need a couple of steps of fighters for the long haul. We'll need to set an RP after you determine what the plan will be.

Thanks <S>

T+0 = Take-off
T+21 = 2,7x at 15K
T+36 = 3,8x at 24K
(level at 27K chopping throttle to 98% engine to maintain altitude and form up tight)
T+45 = 4,8x at 27K (98% engine)
T+54 = 5,8x at 27K
T+63 = 6,8x at 27K
T+72 = IP for L74
T+76 = TOT L74 (turn SE to line up on L89)
T+82 = TOT L89
T+90 = IP for L91
T+94 = TOT L91 (turn SE to line up on L93)
T+98 = IP for L93
T+100 = TOT L93 (turn SW to line up on L92)
T+106 = TOT L92 (turn to heading 246 to land at L27)
T+154 = Wheels down at L27

Dobs, you really shouldn't be suprised. The last two frames they learned that there is a lot of low lying fruit to pick worth a bunch of points. I would expect a rinse and repeat of last frame. I have been suprised that we haven't taken out dar for the forward tac fields and why we haven't closed these areas. The knights have been using the northern fields to strike with JU88's while the jabo guys have been closing our tac fields.
They can't win by taking down buffs, so what choice do they have? I wouldn't be suprised to see them ignore the buffs and continue to grab the easy points. This isn't about history, it's about them scoring points.
Just my thoughts.
