Re: Op Protocol
A small change, we will be using a different server.
Server name : 41Sqn/OCU
IP: 90.30.87.235:10308
Server Password: rafair
We will use RAF Air SRS 1
I will be on Discord Social 1 Chat room at 19:20 for a 10 min briefing.
Tonight is a rare occasion that the RAF Air Joint mission is trying PvP. Please be respectful to each other after the event, be magnanimous in victory or gracious in defeat.

Re: Op Protocol
Good morning, gents. I though that I should apologise for my grumpiness last night. I still cannot understand why we don't issue clear procedures and stick to them.
I was again unable to get coms working properly last night, and so decided to stay out of your hair. As you probably noticed I was about 3-4 mins behind you and did a bit of work in the target area. It would appear that the blue ground forces took a good 20-30% of the red units out of action before we arrived. Unfortunately, I forgot to change the weapons and so could not be very effective. I think I took out about 3-4 AFVs and 2-3 tanks in all.
As I thought the apkws were totally ineffective against the T-80, but excellent against the AFVs, although the range limitation took me a little too close to them for comfort. I even put 3 into the (supposedly) vulnerable backside of one T-80 within 1-2 secs without any observable effect. Both my JDAM bombs were effective against T-80s, and the Cluster weapon also did some damage, but I had no success with the GBU-12s - whether I was too low, or there was too much cloud, I am not sure.
I did try to make contact with you in the target area but you obviously weren't hearing me (unless I was being ignored following my earlier hissy-fit). Just after Paul left, I was joined by a couple of F-16s, as indicated on the RWR. Having looked at the Playback, they should have had no problem in nailing me, but at the time I assumed they were blue. Eventually got home safely, with a little more equanimity than I left.
Paul, I really would like to fix an our or so sometime, just so that I can check out my coms etc.

Re: Op Protocol
Yep, I see your point about APKWS being ineffective against T-80, I put 5 into the rear end of a T-80 all impacting within a second, not even a scratch. 4 would kill a T-72, (Iv'e done it).
Alan, if you could give me a date and time to try and fix your SRS comms problem, I'll try and make it and we can give it a go.
P.S. be advised, I am going down to Cornwall for the week commencing Monday 10th April and will be away from my system.

Re: Op Protocol
Paul, thanks. I am out tomorrow morning, but am free thereafter. If you can suggest a period when you can spare the time, I will confirm that I am available. I am not sure whether we will need to use one of the RAF Air computers, but there should be one available. Thanks again.
