Zack. Good intelligence is going to help us more than a pair of Rafeles who may or may not show up, and who may or may not blow up the things we want blown up.

As much as I'd love to have Rohan, we need Zack -- we're going to need all the intel and clandestine/covert warfare support we can get. Two Rafales and a pissed-off Wing Commander are nice things to have, but we can't count on having them when we need them

She'd have to base with us, so we should have some interaction. Also, we can bet that the Chinese are going to start backing the dictator because resources AND they hate us, and she probably hates the Chinese so win/win. I agree Zack is better, and whats more thematic that having the CIA interfering in a proxy war in the developing world, but I'd still love to hire Rohan.

I'm feeling a Zack attack. We're in it for the long haul, so intelligence is good. With satellite recon and whatever else the CIA's got, that'll help us out. Bogan's ground intel and humint is a close second. Rohan's an Ace Combat protagonist, so we should give her a home as soon as we've got an Ace Combat plot rather than a grueling African civil war.

Looking at the map, it looks like the free State only has the one Lithium mine on their border, so it seem like one of their opening moves will be to try and move in on that. Seems like most of the Dictator's forces will be aligned against us as a result. Since we know where we're based, we should get an idea of where our counterparts might be located - both our opponents and the Count's own forces. I'm guessing the Count will base his guys at Menongue, to cover his other flank from the air, with any support/training at Ngjiva in the rear. The Dictator's hired gun will likely be at that relatively central location, since that will allow them to cover either front as the situation permits. The fact that most of these airports are civilian means that attacks on the ground are going to be very risky - while the Free State or Dictator will probably not be too squeamish about collateral damage, I imagine the Count will not be pleased - and it would undermine his local support. On the plus side, I suspect the other mercenary outfits are so coldblooded to risk that sort of thing - it'd be bad to business. So unless we really piss them off, we should probably expect any attacks on our base to come from the Dictator's own birds. Our axis of attack is going to be moving up the coast on the mines and the capital, so we should plan for the uptick in threat that will result accordingly.

Grey Hunter posted:I also nominate myself as first bote commander! This mans a professional. He'll make a great naval officer Rohan Chat She'll base out of Lubango but will operate totally independent of us. Which means on mission day she'll fly one of a half dozen random missions. One might be AAW Patrol, while another might go and bomb a hospital.  Speaking of bombing inappropriate things. Our first wave of planes has landed at Lubango. The rest should arrive in about 12 hours. Once we've decided upon our operative it'll be mission time. Just to our north some Astros MLRS systems have been pushing hard against our ground troops. To give us a welcome they opened with an extra-large bombardment. Our boys on the ground are hurting. Bad. Further to the east the Angolan forces are moving in some updated T-55's. We're still waiting to hear who, and where, the Sultans First and Mitsubishi-Shengasae are. I have a hunch we'll discover once we're in the air. Aid convoys are moving about the countryside and could use some air cover.

Like how we did escorts and ground attack in Seafood Buffet & max Profits/Around the World? Seems like multitasking would be a good idea...as long as we don't get stretched too thin. Which is another point for Rohan, really - even if her missions are random, she'll be keeping up the pressure on the enemy (just as long she doesn't run off and start committing war crimes.  )

I'm thinking not just of the launchers themselves but also all of the support vehicles too. The MW-1 has a ludicrous number of submunitions onboard, it's about 2500 or so. It's nuts. On the other hand, the Tornado can carry four BL755s...

Geocities Homepage King posted:If one of her missions turns out to be a crazy bombing of a civilian target or whatever would that be tied back to the Hired Goons? She'd literally be based out of the same airbase we are, so that might be a problem. Of course, if we make sure she's hired on as an independent subcontractor and not an employee we should in theory be able to wash her hands of her should the worst happen, just arrest her when she lands and hand her over to the appropriate policy. The fact she's flying her own jets (which are distinct from ours) means we should be able to protect ourselves from liability if the worst happens. But frankly I think it's more likely she'll blow up military targets we maybe don't want her to and inflate our threat level as a result than commit literal warcrimes. Maybe we should invest in a therapist to help her work through her issues in a healthy manner?

You want to drop CLUSTER BOMBS in Angola. Yeah that's a real good way to appear as good people to the international community. Yooper! Surely the good Count won't accept us turning his people into hamburger and dispensing basically land mines in a country that not too long ago already was littered with mines and unexploded ordnance!

Yeah maybe go easy on the cluster bombs with this one guys. Mission proposal: I think our first job is to secure the immediate area. Part 1: CAS and elimination of enemy armor/artillery assets near Lubango. -Frogfeet, Hawk 209, and maybe SK-60 or some phantoms attack enemy ground assets with 2 Meteor Gripens providing CAP. Could alternatively cheap out and use some Phantoms as AA cover. Part 2: RADAR elimination (white arrows) -2x Tornadoes and 2x Meteor Gripen on escort go after each radar array and wipe out the closest two with anti-radiation missiles. Could use our jammer here as well.  Reserve -2 Gripen and 2-4 phantoms with AA loadouts on ready 5/15 and the S100 orbits our airbase providing sensor coverage.

He's probably got a wider overview of the situation to give us. I figure we hold off on using cluster munitions except in case of emergency. A lot of the Count's international support apparently comes from humanitarian grounds, so using those sorts of weapons should be a last resort.
