S3 Series

Gents:
Without the benefit of a S6 Report, the 352nd's attached OSS guys are beginning to work up a plan for Frame 4. Most Squads have only two airframes left from which to choose.
Thoughts on targets for our buffs, and requests for specific roles for our Allied Squads are solicited.

The 23rd has Jugs and Ponies remaining in our inventory. I would recommend the 51's be used in an escort role, the Jugs are a little more versatile. Be advised thou with summer here, our numbers are likely to be lowish (10 or less).

The 4th FG have Spitfire IXe and XIV left.
The Spitfire XIV can be used for both escort or V1 intercept.
The Spitfire IXe serves best for escort or skirmish.

Bomber Group:
Please consider/comment on these possible targets:







If you can get the V-1 sites, the V-1s don't fly for the remainder of Frame 4 and not at all in Frame 5. If you get the Storage Depot, V-1s fly in limited numbers from either site in Frame 5.

DEWOLF:
If we get enough pilots, we can hit 113, 114, 115. While we are in the area, and all is going well, we may be able to drop on 115.

We need the ability to have a close field, so we don't spend all night getting to them. If we need a second sortie, we want to get back in there quickly. Hope there is something you can do about that.

Next, we got messed up last frame. We had to ditch the B25 for mechanical issues and take a lancaster. We have two more frames and the plan was to utilize the Lancaster in frame 4 and the B24 in frame 5. My question is: will Jabo consider our attempted use of the B25 in frame three sufficient to show our intent NOT to waste our use of the Lancaster a second time later in the series? I would like to still be able to use our Lancaster for frame 4 and the B24 in frame 5, as planned. Can you see if he will allow us to consider the use of the Lancaster in frame 3 as if it were the B25 allotment?

We will need to have sufficient escorts.

Let me know what you can do, sir.

Strike buffs and escorts should note the Axis radar coverage. If "assembly" is at/near the 6,6 X, the buff stream does not show on Axis radar until fully assembled passing over F-28.
Buffs please note that if 90% of the targets at F-115 can be taken down, V-1 flight frequency would be reduced in Frame 5 from the three nearby sites even if they are not closed.

9. V1 Launch Sites and Storage Depots - each of the 15 indicated V1 launch sites will send V1 drones toward London during a frame. Their frequency is determined on the available storage depots. Close the depots and you lessen the frequency of launches. Reduce the ski sites and you stop the number flying against London

RCAF has the Spit XIV and the P47 remaining. The Jug is not good down low, so I guess we will be in SpitXIV's.
