S3 Series

Here is my route..

Here it is, updated with more specific flight plans for the medium bombers and the strikers.


Jabo/Fighters: Depart 86 heavy and gain altitude to the Northwest of the field to avoid enemy radar. Enter enemy territory at 3 - 4.5 km (10,000' - 15,000'). Be prepared to engage any enemy aircraft heading your way from 124/125. If enemy does not materialize, begin jabo attacks on targets in your area. Be aware and honor the No Fly Zone. Cycle planes in and out the area to rearm and refuel.

Medium bombers: Depart 110 and plan to meet escort near field 114. Climb to 3km (10,000') and follow designated flight plan to target fields 124 and 125. (Not to be confused with Target Field in Minneapolis.) Egress direct to 110 with escort.

Escorts: Depart 78 and meet up with the medium bombers near field 114. Cover medium bombers in and out of target zone.

Interceptors: Depart 79 and perform CAP in the gap to the South.

Strikers: Depart 138 and head South in a flight path similar to the one indicated. Targets are shipping and fields 185 and 170. Note: Field 170 is on the edge of enemy radar coverage.

As your plans begin to jell, are you going to get specific on which Groups are doing which task?
As always, time over target for both heavies and strikers is handy for fighter Groups to know.
When thoughts are solidified, might I suggest a separate ORDERS thread?

I do plan on following precedent and having a separate orders thread.

@Hawk:

Note that a recent fly-over reveals that there is a radar emplacement to the SW of F-125. If I read your .dtf correctly, it's conveniently on your way in

NightStalkers are good with hitting ships out of 138

Wolf,

My approach is 045 and made it so we could pick off the dar!

I need to put a fancy arrow on mine like yours!

Thanks brother!

Hawk,

I see that the Allies will get the Wellington. At what altitude would you expect them to operate?

If wellingtons are not above 16k I don't understand why.

Juice

Do you believe you would pursue them above 15,000' whether they are escorted or not?
