S3 Series

Basings:
4th - at 233
352nd - at 258 & 194
100th - 206
NightStalkers - at 206
Knights/Nomads - at 206 (fighters at 255)


Mission Goals are anti shipping (static & AI)
100th fly out to 0.0.5, be in vicinity to protect night stalkers and press east to hunt down ju52 & he111 transports.
Intelligence says there will be many transports attempting to evacuate from the Sevastapol area to the west. rearm and repeat as time allows.

4th get up early and try to protect our IL2s. search and destroy enemy aircraft. Return to base to rearm and meet the knights and escort them as best you can.
Escort is more important than search & destroy.

352nd protect the IL2s on the eastern and southern fronts as possible. Seek out and destroy Luftwaffe fighters as you see fit.
Please be prepared to move into the Sevastapol area during the Knights attack on the shipping there. time is yet to be determined.



NightStalkers will up right away and attempt to beat the LW to the AI ships at 0.0.5 armaments as you see fit
100th will move to this area also and press east looking for Westward flying transports (He111 last frame were at about 2000ft)
seek out enemy shipping wherever found.

Knights/Nomads you are to hit static ships in port 67, 40 & 41 (41 has a concrete screen blocking torpedoes except thru the opening)
I would bomb from altitude, but you are free to choose your avenue of attack. Please coordinate with 4th for escort as they will be hunting and need to rtb to rearm.
I would approach from the west or north west to avoid exposure, but you are free to come up with a route.
Sorry this is as late as it is, please do what you can.
You are free to pick targets from all available ports including 42 & 46


ALL ships are cleared to be attacked whenever found. Static ships are just ground targets, but they are worth 1.5 points. you can strafe them down in several passes.
Moving AI transports are more difficult but still need to be sunk. Please call out ships to alert others who may be able to attack them.

Fighters be on the lookout for enemy transports, please shoot them down as you find them.


any changes made will be marked in red.

Rock and roll time and good luck!

Hawk...how about a route and RV time/Place?

I thought the first groups will take off and head toward the 0,1x, follow the 1 line until we due south of 67. There seems to be only 3 ships there so I might send 3 guys in NOE.

The rest will turn at the 1.1 line and head in to 40 and 41. I am sure both ports and going to be a hot bed and know you will do your best to get there. I am still playing with everyone going NOE with torps to get in and out fast.

Maybe if you take care of 256 first and keep them north, we might be able to get there. It should only take 20 minutes to get there. The other route is another long ride and not sure you can make it there in time.

Let me know what you think.

Hawk, with you at 206 and us at 233, we'll have to go direct 256(closed) and check for LW. We are tasked with covering
our IL 2s first, so maybe delay launch a bit and give us time to be on station. If you can give me a time frame for your
T/O, I can get us to refuel and meet you in the 1.1 block. If you T/O at T+ 0 we can't cover the IL2s at all.
We will be in LA 5s so will be below 10k.

It's going to take us 20 to target. We can always delay it fir what any time you want or hang out over ghetto water waitung.

Ok first 20 mins for hunting then refuel and come to meet you in 1.1 block.

Sounds good to me...

Good luck!
