Grab 6 of the regular Phantoms and maybe 1 UAV Also suggesting that my call-sign be one of the following: Red Comet, Red Crown, Cowboy, Weasel, Unicorn If there's any chance of grabbing a few F-14s or F-15s down the line, do it and put me in one of those bad boys.

Salvage that loving boat and put me in charge of its operations; screw me getting in the cockpit of an F-15 or F-14. Here are but a few reasons why: 1. We can rig it to blow up near an enemy fleet/coastal installation. Might come in handy for a distraction/unexpected fireball whenever we need it wherever we need it. Also because, once I get my dead man's switch set-up, we can line the inner walls with C4 to use as a last resort. 2. We can convert it into a floating hospital if it's big enough. Think about it; this thing will, at the very least, have an exercise area/dedicated gym. That will shave weeks off of physical rehab. Also, nothing says "completely sanitary" like salt water loving everywhere. 3. We can weld armor on to it and put as many guns as needed to have a Q-Ship/make-shift frigate on standby. Also, sticking guns on to things that should not have guns makes me giggle like a madman. Just think, we could have a few dozen howitzers on this thing, maybe a couple mortars, a rocket battery or twelve...Sure, it'll be situational, but dammit, it'll be hilarious. 4. Troop transport! It has berths, a cargo hold, and maybe an on-board helipad. Perfect for troop insertion! (also meshes pretty well with point #3) 5. Drone carrier! We could launch our drones off of this thing, too. I could go all day, but won't. End of the day, we should salvage that loving boat. And put me in charge of its day-to-day operations. Why? Because none of you guys called dibs first.

Ladies and gentlemen, if placed in charge of resurfacing/repairing/salvaging the super-yacht and its subsequent day-to-day operations, this will be my proposal: 1. Replace all the life-jackets with suicide vest for the crew (including the captain, i.e me). This is to prevent mutiny and improve morale, as well as deny any hostile forces usable intel in the form of personnel/hostages. 2. Line the inner bulkheads with as much C4 as possible while still retaining sea-worthiness. This will be rigged to a dead man's switch under my control. Should I become compromised/expire during the mission, the entire boat goes with me, potentially damaging any hostile fleets/coastal installations nearby. 3. Place as many armaments (with their relevant fire control systems) as possible while still retaining seaworthiness; anywhere where we can't put a gun will have more armor welded to it. We'll figure out how to store ammunition later; right now, I can't help but see AAA emplacements, howitzers, rocket batteries, and mortars on this thing. Maybe a guided missile launcher, too. 4. If possible, torpedoes will be added for extra hilarity. With the armament we'll already have with the other guns, this will help us supplement it so we can engage targets beyond our guns' firing ranges/arcs. 5. The engine will be overhauled into something that can at minimum travel 40 kn/h (preferably 55 or 60) to compensate for the extra firepower/armor we'll be strapping on. It'll be slow as gently caress, but at least it will move. 6. If possible, retain its helipad (if it has one) for supply drops/troop transport capabilities. This will add some flexibility beyond "point guns at bad guys and shoot." Would anyone like to add to/dispute

COAST GUARD 2: "No, Steve, you aren't. I see it, too. That boat has waaaaay too many guns on it." COAST GUARD 1: "Too many...or not enough?"

Thus, he is disqualified from having a say in who captains the bote because gently caress you you're ruining my fantasy. Quinntan posted:If it's been on the rocks for a month, the tide will have utterly warped the hull far beyond what is salvagable for anything other than scrap. slothrop posted:This. It's a distraction we can't afford until we have control. If and when we achieve local superiorty it becomes trivial. In the meantime there's little sense devoting any assets to it, we don't even know what condition it may be in. Lets worry about it later when we can inspect it, assess if it is worth spending any time or money on and then turn it into a floating casino/distillery. We'll need all the alcohol we can get to continue operating our Soviet equiptment. Both of you should take a step back and realize that you're in the wrong here. Why? Because you're not thinking big enough. The big picture here is that we get a loving super-yacht that we can do anything we want to with it. Think about it. Drone carrier, floating hospital, surprise makeshift frigate/fireball...the sky's the limit here. Sure, securing local superiority might help in getting our new boat, but that will take time away from actually putting it in

Quinntan posted:No, this "super-yacht" will have been pummeled by the Pacific, torn at by the tides and ruined by rocks. It likely has several hull breaches, warping of structural components that are unrepairable, and would never be seaworthy ever again. It's been run aground for at least two weeks now, it's a total loss. Nothing some duct tape, super glue, and elbow grease can't fix. Also, who knows, it might be in better shape than you give it credit for. Quinntan posted:Also I'm pretty sure the croctopus laid claim to the first vote in the thread. Again, did they post in the thread that they were in charge of the bote? No, they did not. Ergo, they are disqualified from captaining the bote.

So I'm making a shopping list for after our next mission/the second half of our current mission, and the discord has decided that we might need more CAP than CAS. Flankers and Eagles have been thrown around, as well as Foxhounds and Bugs. If you have any plane suggestions, speak up via PM or @ me in the discord. Otherwise I'm gonna open Google Docs sometime tomorrow/later today after I get some loving sleep because holy poo poo it's 0130 hrs ET over here and start working on our future shopping trip.

We will test our might with Poseidon. Zalkawe and I can run top cover for the boats if needed. Besides, I've left...presents for the incoming Russian ground forces. It involves a couple of pounds of dynamite, some of last week's chilli, a couple tube socks of bricks, concerta wire, and a C130 packed with C4 set to detonate when it receives a very specific signal from Zal and I's Phantom.

I finally have a semi-decent plan for dealing with the Spetznaz that are most certainly coming. Feel free to either bask in its glory or help me make it actually viable because I have no idea what the gently caress I'm doing. 1. Rig up any spare ordinance we absolutely do not need to bring with us to blow the hangars like Micheal Bay's most erotic wet dream. 2. Rig up the runways with enough C4 to make the loving Moon look like the smoothest of infant asses. 3. Set up two detonators; one in Zalkawe and I's Phantom, the other in the C130. The Phantom detonator will only activate when it receives this signal (desig Alpha Signal). The C130's detonation signal is currently TBD (right now it's a toss up between "Fortunate Son," "Paint it Black," "In the Navy," and "My Heart Will Go On;" in any case, it'll be designated as Bravo Signal). The C130 detonator is to be used in the event that Zalkawe and I get shot down. 4. Link both detonators to the explosives. 5. Load as many people and as much materiel as we can on to the C130/any spare cargo planes that are just lying about that have miraculously gone unnoticed by us until now. Maybe even use boats to get those people who couldn't make it to the plane in time. Long story short, we are getting everyone out, no loving excuses. 6. Get our people airborne PRIOR to detonating the charges on the runways. 7. Once the Spetznaz have been confirmed to be near the runways, either the Alpha Signal or, in the case that the Alpha Signal cannot be sent, the Bravo Signal, will be transmitted from the detonator to the explosives. 8. Watch the fireworks. Thoughts?

So I've decided to start finalizing my "bug out and gently caress Russia as we leave" plan. Still open to suggestions on the finer points. Note that this is not an actual Operation Plan, but one to be attached to any future Operation that we deem necessary/reach a consensus that we need this Sub-Operation to be enacted concurrently. SUB-OPERATION EVICTED REFUGE PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: Gain enough time for assets and personnel to be safely relocated/evacuated from Provideniya Airbase before Russian ground forces arrive. SECONDARY OBJECTIVE: Deny Russia use of Provideniya Airbase post-Parent Operation. TERTIARY OBJECTIVE: Neutralize Russian hostiles as they come on site to Provideniya. PROCEDURE: 1. Rig the hangars and runways with explosives/spare ordinance deemed not mission critical to Parent Operation. 2. Set up TWO (2) DETONATORS; one attached to the F-4E Phantom belonging to callsigns Zalkawe and Red Comet (designation ALPHA DETONATOR), the other attached to the C130 aircraft (designation BRAVO DETONATOR). 2A. ALPHA DETONATOR is to be triggered when it receives this signal. (Designation ALPHA SIGNAL) 2B. In order to mitigate the event that ALPHA SIGNAL is unable to trigger ALPHA DETONATOR due to malfunction, loss of parent craft, or other unforeseen circumstances, BRAVO DETONATOR is to trigger when it receives this signal. (Designated BRAVO SIGNAL) 3. Load and evacuate all personnel and materiel able to board C130/all seaworthy craft/any available cargo plane that has until this point gone unnoticed. 4. Upon confirmation of Russian ground forces present at Provideniya, transmit ALPHA SIGNAL. 4A. If ALPHA SIGNAL fails to transmit properly, transmit BRAVO SIGNAL. 5. Confirm detonation of explosives.

All our dudes are gonna be gone in a matter of hours no matter what, and blowing up our hangars doesn't magically drain the May's fuel or something I'm kinda aware of that we'll probably be airborne by the time the Russians come storm Provideniya, making my plan sorta moot. I'm just making sure that we have the option handy should Russia decide to launch aircraft from Provideniya to screen for the May. I'm not looking to drain the May, I'm looking to limit its incoming reinforcements. The less air coverage it has, the easier it is to shoot down.
