 So, we've come to this tropical country and we've been working non-stop. I say we head to the beach, relax, and go Surfin' RdA Strategic goals: Dawn sneak attack on the bridge command Sanitize the coastal corridor Sever Free State connection to the mainland CAP Dude 4 x Gripen, Maximum Meteor Recon and Support Beach Bums S-100B AWACS KC-135R Stratotanker VC-10 Tanker EA-6B Prowler Wave Report Reaper, Gorgon Stare Comber Sperwer Strategic Bombing Wipeout 4x Gripen, SDBs Gust Front 2x German Tornado, Cruise Missiles Gidget 4x Kfir, Spice Lifeguard 4x Phantom, DWS.39 Anti-Runway CAS Kook Frogfoot, Scallion Anti-Tank Hawk, Mavericks 2x Saudi Tornado, Brimstone Skeg 5x SK-60B, gun pods Grommet 2x Phantom, Paveways 2x AMX, Paveways 2x Mirage, Paveways EMCON RADAR OFF AND JAMMING OFF until Paddle Battle is complete. After that, radiate away. Schedule At 0300, Wave Report will head for point Riptide and Comber for point Low Tide. At 0500, Beach Bums, Dude, Wipeout, Gust Front, and Lifeguard will launch from Lubango to point Riptide. Stay out of radar range. Paddle Battle Once in position, Gust Front will launch cruise missiles at the Bridge command. If SAM are spotted shooting at the cruise missles, Wipeout will move in at maximum speed and use SDBs to hit the bridge command and launchers. Gust Front RTB. Once the Bridge command is down, swing north with Dude, Wipeout, and Lifeguard. Swell AWACS and Jammers on; Comber should follow the highway north while Wave Report moves in closer Sanitize the area around Caboledo airport and launch the DWS.39 anti-runway bombs to shut down operations. Dude will return to Riptide; Wipeout and Lifeguard will proceed south, using any spare ordinance to clear AA targets while they RTB. Lifeguard will rearm as part of Grommet if possible. Barrel Ride CAS elements will launch at dawn (~0630). Kook flights prioritize armor, Skeg flight prioritizes infantry, and Grommet flight prioritizes structures and AA. Quick Turnaround or Surge and keep firing until you hit the time limit. Hang 10 Wipeout will relaunch with Gidget and proceed to Riptide to refuel. Dude, Wipeout, Gidget will then proceed to point High Tide at Military speed while Beach Bums move north at cruise speed to about halfway between. Launch two Spice at the Shadowban comm towers. If they hit unmolested, launch the rest at the bridge. If not, use Wipeout to sanitize the area before launching the remaining Spice to complete Shadowban objectives. Return everyone to Riptide; Wipeout can join in assaulting the coastal highway while Gidget RTB. Enemy Forces Free State air gets one warning that we're not headed for Cabinda; if they continue to approach, fire on them. Ignore Tesla forces unless they fire on you. Mark bridges as neutral. Mark Bulgarians as neutral unless they screw us. Chinese Wax Job If a military contact is spotted over the ocean, suspend operations and move everything towards point Low Tide. If the contact is Angolan, resume operations. If the contact is Chinese, scrub everything and land ASAP. Added Space fucked around with this message at 23:08 on May 18, 2017 |

power crystals posted:Operation For It Is Raining Dreams And I Have Cabin Fever Probably final update. Thanks to that radar site actually being closer, the plan now SDBs it and instead fires its cruise missiles at two runways. The goal still is to strand the dictator's air force on the ground so Von Hoff's forces can try to seize them, which would be an enormous win for the new Angolan state. Failing that we should at least make them fire a whole lot of SAMs at the missiles trying to stop us instead of at things we care about.

Something to consider - Bengula airport is completely within radar range of the Dictator. If you launch an initial assault out of there it's going to be seen before it hits anything, and we don't know how itchy the bomb finger is.

I don't think that radar can see stuff leaving Benguela with any reliability; if it could, the dictator would have been tweeting non-stop about our attack on a civilian freighter.

The gently caress does he have left that can even make a strike against us? He must have only a handful of Su-30s and maybe some older stuff left and the more of that he puts on an A2G loadout the more thoroughly he'll get clowned by Meteors. And if the older stuff gets the A2G weapons, well, our ADA guys will get some target practice in. I'm not concerned.

 PICK 3. Yes, we're doing that again. It worked out pretty well.       We will be using Chains of War expansion stuff. Expect to see the new damage model in action, and expect to see me get very excited about planes on fire.

Finest Hour Toontown For It Is Raining Dreams And I Have Cabin Fever Basically I'll take any plan that doesn't commit anything more than a CAP flight against the Free State. They are simply not the objective here, any bomb dropped on them just decreases our chances of taking Luanda in time.

This was supposed to go up before Yooper called the vote, but I took too long and narrowly missed it. Oh well, gave me time for another editing pass instead. Consider it an interlude or something.quote:The crack of the carbine's report could be heard as clearly as MEAT's swearing at having missed another shot. Staring at the completely intact target, he stopped and checked the weapon's sights. Despite having to spend the most hours in the air per mission on average, not actually having to fly paradoxically gave him more spare time than the regular pilots, and so he was able to request time on the base's shooting range. He'd fired a few rounds as a teenager, but never with any accuracy - which certainly hadn't changed - and never in anger. But ever since the Angolans had tried to strike the base, he'd been terrified of having to actually defend himself. Some people had daydreams of being some grand hero with their firearms, but here MEAT was experiencing nightmares of being the last man left and having no ability to do anything about it. He wasn't sure if it was fear or anger from that potential situation driving his desire to learn to defend himself, but he also didn't entirely care. MEAT's callsign being in all caps as it is in the pilot roster is definitely canon by this point, btw. Third person because I wanted to try that point of view instead for once, and because I think it's more interesting to not have a direct view into his mind for this particular story. P.S. Tythas this is what you get for making that offer
