Thankyou Flyco, do you want me to turn the SA15s down abit in skill btw or happy with them as they are?

[Flyco]

It should be do-able, but our Mavs out-range them by only about a mile, and they are generally quite good at swatting them down once we fire them.

Given that it looks like there will only be 2 of us, a slight tweak down would be helpful - say, only half a bottle of vodka per Tor crewman.

Thanks for the great mission, Duke. Really enjoyed it.

AAR of 1(F)

We had one flight tasked with providing CAS and BAI around Nicosia. We took off from HMS Invincible and headed towards the area. We checked in with the lads of 664 Sqn and they provided us with a CAS brief of a enemy motorized battalion moving towards Nicosia. We worked the targets and engaged the enemy vehicles. Then we shifted our sensors to a command post and engaged that target as well. We expended our munition and during the final attack #2 got hit by AAA and took damage to the engine. We headed to Paphos airfield, where our ground crew set up a FARP. After a quick turn around and some duct tape here and there we took off again.

While airborne we scanned the outskirts of Nicosia and spotted several convoys moving. #2 attacked and engaged multiple motorized platoons moving on to the city. We then worked a command post and a staging area. All aircraft and dismounted infantry were destroyed. After a while killing multiple targets, #1 was Winchester and called firemissions. Friendly artillery engaged several form up points. Leads aircraft got hit by AAA and took minor damage. We landed safely at Paphos.

Amount of vehicles destroyed: 55

The splash damage script works great.
