Scud Hunt Part 2 of 3 (October 23 8pm EST - Sinai Map)

Post by Taco »

SIGN UP FOR PART II (All F18s):

Night flight, picks up where we left off in Part I. See Alternate History Discord channel for more info.

PILOTS: SQUIRREL, TACO, MURF, ARRIBE, ENIGMA, CHUNKS, KESTREL, PRIMO, SPECTRE, DRILLIN

Threats: 4x Mig-21, SA-2, SA-3, AAA, Helicopters (2x KA-50s spotted by Ford Flight)

To Expand on the threat of Mig-21s:
  • Enemy has 4x Mig-21s with unknown armament.
  • Pattern of behavior:
    • Will only engage within SAM range support.
    • GCI guidance until engagement, so they won't paint you until they're ready to lock & shoot.
    • In almost every engagement in part I, they snuck up on us.
    • AWACS coverage inconsistent, even though E3 within ~130 miles.  Contacts appear/disappear from SA page.
    • If you are in Egyptian territory or SAM range, and you haven't hear 4 x "SPLASH" over the radio, you need to assume there are Mig-21s approaching you with radars off (and likely below your nose).  They know our Look-Down Radars suck.
