Command: Modern Air & Naval Operations: Let's Play and Expansions

Reader mode
Let's see if I've got this straight:
- You are tasked to launch a surgical strike against CW facilities
- You interpret surgical strike as 'go in with B-52, and kill the entire Syrian air force and IADS'
- Taking off with B-52s in Europe means peace protestors... uhm, protest.
- You nearly get surprised by the Syrian Navy
- You fire on Russian vessels with ARMs (which you have strict orders not to fire upon), but at least not exocets
- When attacking the Syrian Navy, you instead attack the Russian Navy. With exocets.
- Russians deploy SAMs around the harbour
- You start fighter sweeps
- You are 'forced to fire on the Russian ships' because they're firing at your fighters and PGM, so you bomb every Russian in the harbour plus the complete harbour
- Oh, and civilian shipping
- Maybe Isreal fired on your missiles
- You launch Cruise Missiles from Crete to southern Syria. Over Israel
- You strafe the Russian ships with Super Etendards. With their guns.
- You try destroying the CW bunkers with bombs that cannot damage them
- You "have A-10s free roaming around northern and central Syria knocking out various targets and emptying their guns whatever they can find almost completely unopposed"
- You then lose some strike eagles against the remains of the Syrian IADS
- You find an SSGN, which you decide must be engaged, and force it to surface. Then, you sink it with your helo's door gun. Then, you notice it was Russian.

Did I forget anything?

I have a few iIdeas to improve the situation:
- Bomb the peace protestors in GB
- You have not yet carpet bombed Damascus
- Use nuclear weapons
- Intrude in Lebanese airspace


  1. Action taken in self defence is always permitted.
  2. Only CW storage and production facilities are legitimate targets.
  3. Russian units are not to be targeted unless in line with 1 above.
  4. Syrian AD units may be targeted only as far as to facilitate 2.
  5. Lebanese airspace is out of bounds to all NATO forces - Israeli dictated.
  6. Turkish, Israeli and Jordanian airspace may not be used to enter Syrian airspace.
  7. The use of nuclear weapons is not authorised.

As of now, you have breached points 2, 3, 4 and 6. I give you a day to do five and seven.

Lastly, I believe they made a movie about you.

Don't take this as an insult; honestly, it's hilarious! I doubt I could do better, though I would probably end it with a bit less firing on Russians and many more casualties on our side.

Edit: So that's what happened in Iraq! Originally, US forces were just supposed to destroy three CW bunkers, then it got out of hand...

I suggest carpet bombing British peace protestors in Damascus and Lebanon with nuclear weapons. The only thing left to save his job is to take refuge in audacity.

I can see the post already:
"To calm the public, I have decided on nuking the protestors. I will launch B-52 from Great Britain, nuke them then rebase them in Washington, DC (due to their airbases being radioactive craters afterwards)"
[...]
"Because of a problem with the UI, I have launched nuclear strikes on Washington, DC. However, the there stationed US Air Force fighters are moving to intercept my bombers. I am starting SEAD and air superiority missions."
[...]
"After killing the alleged Syrian aircraft carrier, I noticed it to be the Admiral Kuznetsov."
[...]
"I have launched Exocets at the carrier group on Potomac River. With their fighters drawn off towards the crater that once was New York, they should be sufficient to kill them."
[...]
"I have now successfully disabled the Russian fleet at Vladivostok."
[...]
"After strikes on New Delhi and Islamabad, Pakistan and India have started their nuclear war. Their collateral damage on Syria might help my mission."
[...]

Seventy years later, in Bozeman, Montana:

Vulcan commander: "Live long and prosper"

Zephram Cochrane: *hesitantly copies the salute*

poaw: "I detected a new, unidentified contact, with my AEW. After what happened with the Swiss Guard traitorous sneak attack of 2025 as I was doing peaceful SEAD operations with my Strike Eagles and their B-61 over Zurich, I decided to not take any chance."

The medal is going to be taped to an AMRAAM, which the USAF will launch at them because poaw's clearly gone rogue. (Someone make this scenario now).

Well, we have something similar enough in Black Ops 2's SDC subplot, so we just need to have the SEALS Spetsnaz shoot down Zhao's poaw's transport while it's flying over Pakistan Israel, and then proceed to go to the crash site and make sure he's down for the count if he survived, fighting any SDC NATO troops along the way. :V

And then afterwards there will be a joint Russian-American task force launching an assault against the Ukranian terrorist who masterminded the whole thing. :V

Meanwhile, Dassault starts printing thousands of leaflets praising the battle-tested effectiveness of their plane, proven to be able to dominate the air and sink Russian warships.

Noone buys it anyway.

Well, the Super Etendard was Breguet's plane, originally, and it's getting way too old...
Ohh.
 
I see that many here have lost faith in Admiral Poaw's ability to command, I however, have not. I continue to support his glorious liberation of Syria.

With a little added Russian embarrassment to bout'
 
...out of curiousity, is it possible for you to try to kill Assad in this scenario?
 
Rufus Shinra said:
Ouch. But don't you have similar standoff weapons on your Hornets, though?


I guess the missile was somewhat effective at shooting down enemy planes, then?

The Hornets have standoff weapon but not that many in comparison to my numbers of them. As it stands though it hasn't been my Hornets getting shot down, it's been the F-15Es who have no standoff weapons (and those huge bunkerbusters are a disappointment). As far as how the Rafales perform in A2A...



I did manage to figure out where those damn missile shots were coming from AND how they were getting through my defenses to get good shots off at my strikers.


Explanation:
The Blue circles are where I had my jammers loitering because I thought the radar and missiles were coming from the cluster of red buildings immediately to the south. Which wasn't totally incorrect, but what I didn't realize is that a pair of medium range search and track radars were active where the upper green circle is. No jammers were in line between those radars and where my aircraft are active (the mass of blue stuff to the northwest of the upper green circle). So the Sa-5 site, illustrated by the lower green circle was firing Sa-5s based on their detections and scoring hits in the gap between jamming coverage when my aircraft were headed back out over the Aegean.

I've since smashed both the Sa-5 site and those radars, so the Syrian IADS should be completely defanged, especially because it's night now and their non-emitting IR SAMs have reduced detection and tracking. Just to be on the safe side I'm strafing the more potent SAMs even if they haven't been emitting.

Also you may note that my two CVBGs have moved down the Syrian coast, I can confirm that they are in fact currently shelling the Syrian port and associated facilities, along with a few air defense sites along the coast. Because I'll be damned if I go to jail alone.

EDIT: This is what a shore bombardment loots like. It took like 90 seconds to blow apart their shit. The 4 missiles at the bottom are me firing SCALPs from the landing pattern above the CdG again lol.

Nah it's not, from what I've seen. There may be some kind of combination of events that I haven't triggered to cause that to happen but I doubt it. After I finish I'm gonna go read the spoilers on it to find out what I missed.

So... missing every shot? (^_^);

The Rafales are the guy dodging (Anderson Silva). I tried to find a pic of a French (or French speaking) fighter dodging, but not many French fighters have enough exposure to have gifs of them dodging, and apparently George St. Pierre has never dodged a punch in his career.

So how many aircraft did you lose to the SA-5 trap?

2 F-15Es and an RC-135W Rivet Joint (as it was headed off-station).

EDIT: Add a Tornado to that list too. They suckered me in once again. I assumed their radars were knocked out because they stopped emitting for a couple hours after being hit with HARMs then this happen to a 3-ship flight of Tornados I sent in with Brimstones to clear some of the mobile SAMs around the area....

The name of the radars being in red means they're actively illuminating my shit. About 10 seconds later they smoked the tail-end charlie.
