Hi Colin,
JaVA does escort us sometimes still, but Biggles is having massive cable
problems with his G2 cable and when he is not there the others don’t join. I
guess they are flying DCS then.
Kind regards,
Pod

Yeah don’t know enough about VVS aircraft as I don’t fly them much if hardly
at all. To provide that sort of information, maybe someone who flies VVS
aircraft a lot can give us a run down on what the VVS aircraft can do? Or
they can do some testing to find out?
Does Java squad not provide escort for you any more?

looked at that mission, I was 2min30 ish for 3 bomb runs, then phoenix in.
My last damage indicated was after 5mins over target. Then on top of that
cina (and pod?) were a minute earlier SEAD. Thats 6mins, plus time for early
warning to come up on ingress, and for us to get 15km away another couple.
8minutes, at 500kph puts us under threat from anything within 37miles/60kms.
Even knocking off the 2.5mins whilst phoenix got out the back seat thats too
long.
On other hand it appears cina and pod got rid of 3 flak which would have
been a real threat to us.
As opposed to the second that was 1min20 over target (and somehow it appears
I bought 8 bombs home).
As for escort plane - you guys know that more than me, but I do not think
LA5FN would have had range so running out faster may not have been a
possibility either.
