Georgian Intervention pt.4 [FINAL]

 

Situation

After 20 days of almost purely air combat the focus has turned to the ground. American and Georgian ground forces have amassed to face the Russian ground forces at Krymsk, Its shaping up to be a hell of a fight.

 

Our ground forces are outnumbered and counting on CAS taking off from Gelendzhik to help them win this battle. Unfortunately for us the weather is terrible, cloudy and raining with a base of 9000ft. Our side wont be the only ones with CAS in the air.

 

While the carrier group would send their jets to assist, a giant bomber formation is barrelling south directly towards the carrier group. All available carrier jets have been sent to intercept.

Mission

Provide CAS for the ground forces at Krymsk and protect the carrier group.

Flight plan 

 

(may be changed by command on the day)

 

• Flights will take off and orbit their airfield until all flights are up
• The F-14's & F/A-18s will head to CWP 1, and intercept the bombers.
• Airfield based aircraft will head to the battlefield at waypoint 3 and provide CAS returning to airfield or FARP (WP2) for rapid rearms then re-join the fight. (this will be an intense fight with very short travel times, respawn jets will be hot start on runway to enable custom loadouts on respawn)
• Once carrier jets have completed their task they will return to either carrier or airfield for rearm and join the CAS effort. (carrier respawn jets will be bases at Gelendzhik, the bomber intercept mission is a one life deal.)
• Upon the capture of Krymsk or defeat of our ground forces flights will RTB.
