Hi Ferret,
You are talking about assembling 4 Su30 + 4 escort ! What about the
rest ? on runway or in Air ?
You got to be kidding, 4 su30 + 4 escort ! you got to be the most
outdated airforce general in the world in your tactics ! You just
totally put a leash on your aircrafts and totally lost the element
of surprise and send a invitation card for RSAF to let them know
you are coming.
Yep the folks on hawkeye is so poor in their maths that they fail
to count how many planes that is assembling in the air or on the
ground ! You just give the game away by assembling such a large
strike force to just go after the hawkeye. You also give RSAF to
scramble the welcome party for you, while you are busy assemble
everyone in the ground or air, 8 aircraft it will take forever to
assemble ! What you should do is just 2 su30s, that all it need to
take out the hawkeye and the escorts. Possible 2 su30s that will be
3/4 way to cover 1st flight of su30s retreat. Go after runway ?
forget it, nowaday it take less than 3 hr to repair, just go for
the planes ! But the problem is, 1/2 of singapore planes is
oversea, so the most you can take out 1/3 with any luck. You still
face someone with 2/3 of their planes, which is still a lot more
than you in the end.
