Hi Chaps, After Friar, Squawk, Alexandra and I had a session on Monday night, the fuel depot is now neutralised, and I made some efforts to degrade some of the SHORAD around the 'Insurgent Camp' some 10-20 miles East of objective "Charlie". I have annotated a satellite image to show you what I managed to figure out via my TGP: Be warned: there is still at least one SA-19 Grison/Tunguska on the SE side of the village, plus some HMG armed technicals on the Western side. Recommend at least one aircraft with LGB or Maverick dispatches that Tunguska prior to any ongoing ops over that target. Looking ahead, it will be challenging to operate over objective "Charlie" whilst the SA-10 near Sukumi (objective "Delta") is still up. To take that bastard down is going to require a saturation attack with multiple F-16 and/or F/A-18 launching HARMS from multiple attack axes. It's gonna require coordination.

In essence it's a great idea... The trouble is with DCS's one great failing - you cannot occupy an AI slot in multiplayer, only a dedicated client. This restricts the abilty to drop into a well balanced scenario and take the place of an AI - you end up augmenting an AI force and sghifting the scales of the scenario. And with so many people wanting - or only able - to fly a single platform, each mission has to cater for a wide range of capabilities; some mission sets might only be realistically achievable with 4th gen platforms if there's only 2 or 3 of you on. Try the same in a 3rd gen airframe and you might find yourselves repeatedly shot down, unless there's more of you to saturate the defences. It's a bit of a knotty problem that a well designed sandbox mission should get around by providing a range of targets of varying intensity of defence - there's a bit of something for everyone. Plus, if you want to do some coordinated action then usually there's some more heavily defended areas that do require a coordinated effort to attack - it's just that no-one seems to take the bull by the horns and actually suggest it! However, I'd be up for some DangerDogz on tour adventures imnto some other servers to see what they're like...

Hi Colin, My Mondays of late have been shanghai'd by training planning or ad-hoc training sessions with my F-14 squadron. That should abate as we get closer to the summer. Frankly, Mondays have really only ever been you, myself and Fruitbat, with an occasional appearance from others. It is one of the reasons I have pushed for DCS flyers to have a different evening available to attempt to make DCS more accessible to a wider audience within the DangerDogz. I say keep it for now.

I did mean to start something Colim, even have the basis of a couple of missions already made:

That's one big a$$ map!

@fruitbat @BluBear @wingflyr @Zukker @DD_Sheriff @Perfesser Hi guys, I'm always leading the first wave in these jaunts, just checking to make sure that no one else would like a go at flying Dypeg Red Leader...

Great to hear Ross, been too long mate! As for your bro, would he countenance being a nav?

@DD_Sheriff @Zukker @FoolTrottel Howdy gents! Any preference on airframe? Also, Ross, do I remember hearing that your brother might be joining us?

Just in case his changes the metric at all Squawk, were running the Mossie mission on a Sunday afternoon your time....

Ramrod 564 DCS event will be hosted on Sunday 23rd of February; briefing at 2000 GMT. Mossies and Mustangs available. @BluBear @fruitbat @Friar @PapaBear @wingflyr @Zukker @Squawk @DD_Sheriff @FoolTrottel @delta7 @Perfesser @T_O_A_D

@delta7 we’ll be hosting Ramrod 564 on the 23rd.

If you wish to take part in our DCS recreation of the Amiens Prison raid, please select the date that best suits you.

Ok @delta7, I'll run a quick poll see if the 16th or 23rd is better for folks and let you know, if that's ok?

Special Event on Sunday the 16th? @delta7, is this a night you were going to host a Hurricane campaign?
