Hi all

I'm sure this has been asked but here it goes anyway...what are the mission requirements for CAP missions? Specifically can I engage bandits outside of the waypoint area? How far can I travel from the CAP waypoints to search/pursue bandits?

I believe it's 25nm from either STPT 3 or 4. You can stray but time outside is not counted. AWACS will direct you to engage outside this. Take it as advisory only and keep close. Your success depends on protecting assets in your zone and excluding passage through your barrier. 60nm+ away is someone else's problem.

I always reduce the time needed for mission success from 30 minutes to 1 minute. That doesn't mean I fly home after 1 minute, but it gives me more options for engaging the enemy without risking a mission failure.

CAP mission requirements are as follows:
1. Search and Rescue
2. Cadet Programs
3. Aerospace Programs



I just couldn't resist.
