S3 Series

Does those tanks at Artillery fields (i.e. 28) need to all die to close the field sir?

Yes, thats what I was told. Static ships, airplanes and tanks.

Hmm, that makes it like twice as hard to close 28. Can the NS make it by killing ack and bombing tanks while escort strafe buildings, or would you rather hit another field or ships instead?

AE's love the NS would be a honor to roll with them

ill run some test see if we lug a egg with us if needed

AE's
Rgr besea, will assign you for two escort missions then. <S>

About NS mission 2
artillery 28 can be hard to close with tanks and all, I'm rather looking at field 42 at 5,8 for NS 2nd mission. It should be easy to close in 1-2 passes with 6x500lbs coming in from the SE. Just make sure to come in with alt as the ack from the artillery 41 close by would otherwise be deadly. Escort could clean up any leftovers.

About allied Ai's
The japanese have the larger buff numbers and much better fighters. One thing which has kept us in the game is the points we got from killing Ai's. However now allied Ai B-25's will run right into IJN hands, and I don't think we have the machines to escort them. This could be alot of free points for the Axis and plays to their advantage. However I see one opportunity opening as our Ai's run into IJN territory. As the Axis butcher them, it could leave dock 67 at 2,5 wide open. I'm thinking of calling in the 4th (or 475th) to close it late frame if area is clear of cons.

I'll post final orders at friday evening. As always, all critique is welcome

4th FG

I need to look at the targets, but if you believe we can get it done with 4 pilots then we will do our best.

Rgr sir, I know I'm not giving you an easy task, and guess a 50/50 chance of success. I've counted 19 targets + 4 acks at F42. I did a test run: B-25C with 6x500lbs. The 2 groups of fuel dumps (3+2) were be killed with a single bomb each in the middle of them. The 4 small huts needed 2 bombs. The bridge consists of 3 targets and might need 3 bombs (boat, fuel, attachment to land). I'll have the AE's carry bombs on this mission so that they can clean up any buildings still up by dropping + strafing.
