Ship attack mission

[Masaq]

Right guys, have spent a couple of hours working on this, not sure how it plays out yet.

There's a carrier to the far West, at Sevastapol. If you can't be assed to fly that far; there's a small shipping convoy to the south west and another to the north west, which is offloading tanks in the straights. Plenty of targets of opportunity :)

Give it a whirl, lemme know how it goes?

We flew it briefly last night. It's not really great for MP play - there's a 25 minute flight out to the attack WP, although there are targets of opportunity much closer than the carrier.

I wouldn't mind a 25 minute flight if there was a remote chance of success. But with all the ship's defences I think it's be a long flight to nothing ...

Perhaps bring it closer in? Maybe 10 miles out and going along the coastline ?

I havent had a chance to fly it yet.. but the idea of flying over water for 25 mims to get to the target does seem a little extreme. But i'll give it a go as some point. :)

Original thought was that by putting it in the dock, it'd give an excuse in the briefing for it to have no escorts - in for refit type thingy. Will have to have a think- maybe move the US forces closer. Either way was more to get used to using the mission editor than anything else. I let it run through for a while, the AI jets all behave more or less like I wanted them to.

Just wish we could get ALARM or HARM missiles on the F-15s and Harpoons or Sea Eagles on the A-10s. Sucks, not being able to take out SAMs or ships effectively.
