Marianas Test Mission

Be sure to have the map installed.

Tensions have been quite strong in the pacific area, so our forces have been deployed to a sunny and nice island in the middle of nowhere.
This event serves the purpose to see a different part of the world, to test the performance on the map, evaluate if it is all cool on that part of the world and to test a mission template for coming THT’s.
But nonetheless, it’ll be a real mission.

Background:
We just arrived on Guam, life is great.
But enemy forces have captured Rota and threaten to shut down the local bar. We can’t allow that.

Situation:
We cannot allow enemy forces to shut down the local bar. This has to be avoided at all cost. Intel suggests that the most important targets are the ammo depot and warehouse on Rota Airfield.
To prove a point, the secondary goal is to bomb the local toilet building.
Additionally, we have to find and sink a convoy of supply ships heading for rota island.

Time and weather:
* May 1 – 2021
* 0930 local time
* Scattered (7500′-11500′)
* Wind XXX / XX
* FORCE QNH 2992 / 1013

Package mission:
What is the general objective for the mission?
– Disrupt enemy forces at rota
– Sink enemy convoy out there somewhere
– Bomb enemy warehouse, ammo depot and toilet building at rota
– Clear air defenses as far as possible
– Shoot down enemy airplanes

Order of events overview:
1) Hope nothing goes wrong
2) Fly mission
4) Evaluate feedbach on marianas and mission

* ICLS: 1
* BRC: 200 (CA), 130 (PG), 264 (SY) <-if CASE 1

* Departure radial: 090 <-if CASE 3
* CASE 1 departure and recovery
* Hornet Tank: 2000
* Tomcat Tank: 2000
* Minimum Fuel: T + 2**
* Charlie time 11:30
* All aircraft expected to check in for recovery 11:10-11:20

**During Case 1, every go-around is estimated to 500 lbs, and for T + 2 you need to carry fuel for 2 go-arounds. This means that when showing up in the groove for the first time, you need to have 3000 lbs. After 2 go-arounds, you’d need to hit the tanker.
**During Case 3, every go-around is estimated to 1000 lbs, and for T + 2 you need to carry fuel for 2 go-arounds. This means that when showing up in the groove for the first time, you need to have 4000 lbs. After 2 go-arounds, you’d need to hit the tanker.
