If tankers are required please add them with your flight and name them 892 TANKER or 3F TANKER etc. I will spawn them with a trigger when you are 20nm to them. So set their altitude, way point and speed please.

Take off times can be anytime from 19:30 UK REAL life time. I will update the FRAG with T?/O times when you let me know. Your T/O times may be altered if it affects another squadron. CHECK THE UPDATED FRAG.

The check miz will be published on Monday the 14th a.m. Please check your miz.

The IADS script will be running so SA6's will have SA15 point defence and sneaky radar. If you feel there is too much AD on your target for the pilots you have, let me know and I will delete some.

Units that have wheels, tracks, feet and rotor blades may move, unless stated they are stationary. The intel will be 2hrs old, so they may move in a 2hr realistic radius of current position. If you would prefer to have a target with burst tires or that has run out of fuel, let me know and your targets will be magically disabled and stationary.

Return planning miz before Midnight Friday the 11th please.

Sign up with your squadrons in the usual manner please.

Numbers please.

1F : Probably 5

3F: 3+1

97Sqn: 4

41F: 10

892NAS: 4-6

11F: 4
FRAG UPDATED TO v2

[0405 Andrew]

Check miz attached with updated Frag,

Please note that 3f, 97, and 41 are all using Incirlik. I have set T/O times based on your miz files, let me know if they need changing please. Incirlik is 360.10 any problems using that also let me know. Or alternatively if you do not wish to use DCS ATC let me know and we can use a different Frequency. But obviously you all need to be aware of it.

Please check your flights, callsigns etc, make sure there is no time delay ....Tacans working? Awacs. etc etc Please let me know what I need to change before Tuesday afternoon.

Our corrected copy - target allocations were wrong but a quick fix.

[john (scooby)]

questions re 11f
1 given the position of our barcap it looks like were defending against interceptors from the south?
2 how likely is a strike against the carrier group? is it that unknown

[0405 Andrew]

John there's a zero chance against the Carrier group.
There's a ship convoy south of Cyprus that could be in danger.
Threats will be be scaled to blue attendance.

is that convoy under our protection?

[0405 Andrew]

Yes, you'll need to speak to Shane.

[Sapper]

Thank you Andrew. The 3(F) Sqn elements have tested perfectly. No delay to the start, STPTs are correct, the tanker works as does it's TACAN and it's a nice dark night. No changes required. Looking forward to the mission on Tuesday.

[0405 Andrew]

Cheers Sapper.
I have reports that the SA page isn't working in the Hornet, I've checked Overlord but another set of eyes would be good. I've changed the skill level from veteran to ace.

Updated Check miz, 41F target allocation and 892 loadouts.

Andrew, we have learnt that some of the targets allocated to us on the airfield are indestructible - I suspect that they are part of the airfield and not add-ons. We will, nevertheless, attack them all as planned (and should be able to take out the RW targets). However, to satisfy our healthy 'blood-lust' we will then hang around for 10-15 mins to knock out the AFVs parked on the airfield boundary and anything else that catches our attention. I presume the CAP will remain available for that.
