S3 Series

Here is what I am thinking and this is work in progress. I will only update this post so to keep it small.

LF6

Base: 37 and 38.
Plane type: Your choice

Dispatch one element of advance scouts and have the main body follow between 5 and 10 miles behind. Avoid the DAR coverage around 44 and 49 then take a turn east at a point south of the 3 line then enter their DAR SW of 51 and make it appear as if we are heading for the shipping on the NW side of Guadalcanal. Drop south and pull out of their DAR coverage just east of where it converges with the DAR at 57 and reverse out of their coverage and take up position just SW of 51 and remain in that area until the Knights hit 51. Once we know you are about to strike we can engage and tie some of them up for a bit. Sound good to you?

Knights

Base: 39
Plane: Kates and Zekes
Target: Static ships North of 51

Looking at the map, it looks like the are at 8.4.3 and 9.3.8.

127th

Base: 28, we can head back to the static shipping at
Target: Ships at 5.1.5 and do some damage, then scout the area for their carrier.

Haze
Base: CV
Target: Joint mission with Knights

23rd
Base: Shokaku

Defend it!

If you base 127 at 28, we can head back to the static shipping at 5.1.5 and do some damage, then scout the area for their carrier. If we find it, we can shadow it and wait for the Knights 2nd sortie.

What about Haze and 127 supporting Knights strikes as well as having some alternate targets for before and after the knights strikes? Beavers got good targets. The Haze can cover them and then let them climb up to cover us before we go in.

just some thoughts

That sounds good Timos, probably can't be too high to spot the shipping. After our strike, we are going scouting for their carrier.

Whats the field number for Shokaku? I'm blind and cant find it.

Wasn't the Shokaku a Japanese Carrier? Sounds very familiar will have to investigate

Swede-

It is the CV Hitman. Don't forget your Mae Wests.

Roger thanks guys. CV OPs is my favorite!

Field 'Shokaku'

I am still looking for a base for the Haze. As for the rest, is everyone ok with the plans?

Good luck all and 23rd, PROTECT the CV at all cost!
