ISR10A1 - Israeli scenario by Mark Gellis
I re-set my fighter force for AAW missions and launched them in search of the convoy. I was hoping to entice the Egyptians to fire first so that I could kill them. I was not to be disappointed.
2 Falcon rose to challenge my flight of 6 Eagles. We exchanged missiles but I managed to kill them in 2 volleys. The new ATA model seems to be working a little bit more aggressively.
2 other unknown fighters (with short-ranged AAMs) tried to intercept the Phalcon AEW. They must have had very small RCS because the appeared DANGEROUSLY close to the AEW. Luckily, I had another flight of 4 Eagles nearby who were able to herd them away. Eventually, they flamed out with any need to expend precious AAMs.
Sadly, 2 Jians popped up from nowhere and killed 3 Eagles before they were even detected! Now where did they come from!?! :-) The last Eagle killed them before it was killed itself. 4 Eagles for 2 Jian is not a good rate of exchange. :-(
Detected 2 flights of Tornado IDS and localized the Ramadan PTMs at the same time. Caught the Tornadoes around Souda and killed them just before Bingo
The Shacha arrived to dispatch the PTMs with one Harpoon each.
A pair of Jians tried to intercept my AEW and another pair went after my Elint unit. One was killed just in time by the Eagles. The other pair fled but were caught and destroyed.
I re-loaded all the aircraft and re-launched in search of the ships.
A pair of AMX moved in to intercept the AEW but killed just as the escorts reached bingo fuel state. They were devilishly hard to pinpoint.
Another pair got within range of the AEW and were only detected upon firing! AAGH! The Phalcon ran for her life and managed to get out of range of the Sidewinders.
After changing their underwear, the crew continued eastward all the while screaming for support from their escorts. Thank goodness that maximum speed of the Phalcon is 604kts whereas the AMX is only 600kts so no pursuit ensued. Whew.
A flight of Eagles arrived to finally kill the AMX.
2 Eurofighters came a-calling. The escorts did the AMRAAM dance with them but no losses were suffered by either side before the EF's had to bingo.
The Convoy was detected soon afterward and the Shacha launched to intercept.
A fresh pair of EFs arrived and loosed their AMRAAM against the escort who quickly outran them.
This repeated a number of times. The EFs would fire and the Israelis had to run without firing a shot. The EFs are really difficult to pin down often would not close.
The Shacha released their Harpoons which were easily shot down.
Finally, a pair of EFs tried to press an attack and were caught and killed by the Eagles for its troubles. Yahoo!.
After a few more AMRAAM dances, another pair of EFs ran out of luck.
The last pair of EFs died of fright! They refused to engage the Eagles who then ran them out of gas on their way back to their base.
The convoy was then attacked by a combination of Shacha, Eagles, and SSMs from the SAG. The DDG did an admirable job swatting the missiles out of the sky but eventually fell victim to a secondary barrage of Gabriel SSMs. The balance of the convoy was wiped out with both gunfire and remaining SSMs.
A very nice scenario, Mark. Thanks.
