####### Important, Maps updated occasionally to show correct situation! #######.

The map here shows the primary goals we need to capture. Please note that the blue stars indicate the cities the FRY need to occupy in order to beat us! We will need to occupy the 8 main city objectives in order to complete the campaign using ground forces moving East from Slovenija & Croatia.

Goals are: Bijeljina City, Vlasencia, Novi Sad, Zrenjanin, Stepojevac, Sabac, Mionica & Beograd.

Please don't download the maps, it will slow down the server and they're low res anyhow!

This map shows the current theater assets. For NATO, the yellow stars designate air bases with support aircraft only while the blue stars designate ones with either attack/sweep aircraft only or attack/sweep/support units. The FRY airbases and assets are designated by red stars. Below that is a link to a break down of what asset is at each air base. Some bases are listed twice depending on whether they contain both support and attack units.

Something tells me I will be the Scott O'Grady of this campaign

Looking forward to it regardless

Hey guys,

So, we got our butts handed to us last night. No big deal, it will make the victory that much sweeter.

In the discussion following the flying, we were looking at the reasons why and we decided to take the discussion here.

Basically the problem is the R-77. Its the Russian version of the AMRAAM and when the enemy carries it, they have tactical parity (if not a slight advantage) over us depending on what version of the AMRAAM you are carrying.

Thankfully, only a few jets carry this weapon. The Mig-29A and SU-27, along with anything older, do not.

The Mig-29S and SU-27S or anything later DO. Those are the jets that will give us problems.

This missile has a longer range (80KM) then anything we can carry except the AIM-120C-5 (82KM). The AIM-120B is just short at 75KM. The AIM-120C-4 falls far short so, avoid it if you think you are going to fight R-77 carriers.

So, how do we defeat these guys? Tactics and teamwork.

I spent the morning reading through some books but did not find what I was looking for. I presume the book that I have that did explain good AMRAAM tactics is in storage. Thankfully, I am going there today and will look through my books for it. I might also go to Barnes and Noble to do some reading.

However, there are a lot of smart guys here so, if you have any thoughts, I would love to hear them.

Also, great background reading for the campaign...

that wouldn't happen if I were there , LMAO


btw, that campaign is reserved for saturdays only, or by, i don't know, random maybe...
(sorry to ask that stupid, I guess, million time asked question, but my weekends are mostly sold out in advance, so to speak, i prefer
sun through fri, when i am at "office" and I WOULD like to fly with You guys, I guess that's honest)

cheers

Hey White_Fang,
You sure didn't miss much. We spent most of the evening setting up the campaign and tried to run a flight but had problems. We're new to the theater so just some initial growing pains for sure. Saturday is the only day I can run it. I tried to figure out a day that would work for a certain number of pilots. I won't be running it any other times unfortunately. The server is up from 6PM Pacific time to around 9:30. Just so you know we had a full house this last time. I can host 10 comfortably and that's the limit I'm afraid. If you want to fly, just try to be on early like maybe 10 to 15 minutes before 6. Some leave early so slots have been opening up after the first flight or two.

Hi guys. Been lurking for awhile here. I too would love to fly with you guys, but my Saturdays are also almost always spent working at a job I hate and am trying to get rid of for a better one, but thats another story. I guess I'll just have to be content with reading your debriefings for now. I just started flying 4.0AF after learning how to fly again on Superpak and Freefalcon recently. Had attempted to come back a few times but was intimidated by the dance of patches. Finally forced myself to dive in and glad I did.

Flying with Striker and the boys is the kind of fun that I think Gilman Louie had in mind oh so many years ago.

This is fun on a huge scale for me. I have had some memorable LAN meets with a buddy that lost his taste for simming but, this takes the cake. Flying with these guys is a really good time.

Its worth the Saturday night (for an old married guy w/ 2 kids)

And I might have to miss it this week. My birthday is Thursday and I think I might miss the flight
