Been following this for a while, and I think it's about time I drafted myself - Ground Beef, reporting for duty! (Anything ground-attack please, not a Gripen/etc. Hawk/Frogfoot/etc would be great.) Also, as much as I'd like the Aardvark, two tornadoes sounds better than one Aardvark - vote K&P.

Coffeehitler posted:There is no such thing as an export model F-22. The RAM skin in particular was decided to be unexportable, and after that there's not much point since it can't carry as much as our other export fighters. In our world, correct. In this world, since Yooper explicitly stated these to be export F22s...

I think from a variety standpoint, getting a boat would be a bad thing - because they're so expensive we'd want it in every mission to justify its existence, so all missions thereafter must involve boat. This would be boring.

I know DCS lets you use two of the three pylons, with the inner of each being left empty due to mentioned reasons. My "gently caress you, gravity" loadout was about 20000lb overweight. Max fuel, max weapons. It would still just barely take off with a lot of care and every last inch of runway. I would not recommend it.

As far as I can tell, this is possibly where we are: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provideniya_Bay_Airport I do hope they paved it and added parking. And made it at least 50% longer, because I don't think our tankers are getting in/out of there...

It strikes me that simply driving the Mays away, rather than shooting them down, should be adequate as far as pleasing the Americans and also less of a major incident. But where's the fun in that?

My biggest concern about the tomcats is that there's only four of them. If we're still having to alternate them on missions, that means we only get two per mission effectively. Is that going to be enough? The sheer quantity of the Mirages, with decent-ish IRIS missiles, tempts me more. Three mirages per tomcat does not sound too bad a trade. On the other hand, the options to go with that aren't great. The Kai/Etendard set is terrible, and while maybe the nighthawks would be fun the boat seems useless. The Aardvarks, or the Intruders (which can carry Amraams too), are both much more attractive. I'm undecided.

Mirages and Bote. Gripens are a terrible idea without Meteors and SDBs. I'd rather have the Flankers or the Mirages. Or even the tiny handful of Tomcats.

Smorgasboard. Because Viggens. Also, any chance I can swap from my shiny new Gripen into an F117 instead? I'd prefer something ground attack... No worries if the Nighthawk drivers all want to stay put.

Also, this thing is still going somehow, cool!

It feels like the support aircraft (like the Shackleton, and whatever transport we used to get out) should stay around for some continuity. Gives us a reason to protect it in mission planning, and feels like everything is less disposable.

Can everything but the Shackleton Since I already voiced this opinion, I guess I'd best vote for it! I would prefer the idea that was suggested where we keep any fighters that didn't see combat - so we'd still have our Lightnings that didn't even leave the ground in the last op.
