G'day List,


OK, Here is 1 solution to a prob.


Target: US CVBG.
Strikers: Soviet Aircraft.
Objective: To get a good strike in on a US Battle group.


Right I have narrowed down to where the US Battle group is to a 100 mile
uncertainty circle, I know they have fighters up (ESM Hits)and want to
get my missiles to target with out to much attrition by the US Aircraft on
either my missiles or A/C.
This is what I did.
You need to imagine this, USCVBG is 600 mile due west of my base. It has
the usual offenders up, ASW Helos, Fighters and an AWACS.
Right Its now Red "Baby Seal" time. I set a CAP 300 mile WNW of my
position (ENE of the CVBG). I put about a 4-6 groups of 4 fighters and a Jammer,
with replacements en-route to this spot. I have the Strike running behind,
offset and parallel to the Fighters. Out front, as my Fighters are arriving on
station, I have recon assets, as many as I can afford, Bears or the
like, In line astern heading in at lo-alt, radar off. As I guess the Bear is in
range, I climb and illuminate, The Carriers fighters will now start to
close in. Turn the Bear north and run it behind the CAP. The Fighters have the
Bear targeted and will be dragged right into My CAP as they close in on
the Bear for a kill. I then Climb the Next Bear and Illuminate and run north
again. Drags the next lot of fighters away. After several goes at this
and having dragged all or most of the US fighters outa position, I will
pop-up my backfires and launch. This gives the missiles a clear run to the
target with no attrition due to aircraft.( I love seeing the hostile Fighters
fall outa the sky outa gas cause their CV is in Davy Jones locker.)
Its purely a H2 Anti-AI tactic. No human would fall for such a hoary ol'
scam. But it works great against the AI.


Well I hope no human would, (If ya do, Wanna have a battle? heh, heh
heh!!)


Just a little one today.


Take care all,
