1980s Theater
-
Krause, did you finished the campaign?
-
What about flying with full release?
https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?20345-Korea-80s-Theater&p=295311#post295311
Campaigns with Block 15 ADF are available as well as pre HARM era, the 1982 campaign.

Hey bud just saw your bump. We’ll be flying this next week. I have been very busy recently because starting a business

NEW VIDEO!
World War 3 - HUD Optional
This is a proper British mission in Tornados. Flying through an amazing gauntlet of Russian air defenses to attack an mi-24 base! This campaign rocks - mainly due to the fact that everything is much deadlier (more Russian-er) than the stock theater.
-
Because in RL only Block 15 ADF variant could use which are US based units and never left US for any conflict. They never stationed outside from US as I know and even they do it was a uique event. (Similar to the case when some Su-15 (!) stationed in Egypt.)
It’s worth noting that during the time frame being discussed there were no real reasons for them to be stationed overseas nor any escalating events that would have necessitated a move.
You’re simulating a fictional war, there is no telling where those units would be assigned or what they would be doing if that occurred because a peace time eighties real life comparison to a war-time eighties simulated environment is not an apples to apples comparison.

Homeland defence is a role for fighter. Because both of F-102 and F-106 became extinct in late '80s…. Smilar case of MiG-31, they never left USSR and likely they never would do. BTW if we are speaking fictional scenaro pls. allow me what I set and what not in my theater…

What you hit you and cause the loss of HUD was very likely the ZSU-23-4. So small qty. of small MG at such a high speed literally is now not a threat. If you set well the RWR you can see on the RWR radar guided AAAs. This video shows that campaign works in some areas as I planned.
- Su-17s engaged you even they are strike fighters, they can change their target priorities.
- Are difference between MGs and radar guided AAA.
- Were many MANPAD launches but even Igla (SA-16) is not a holy weapon.
What I expected
-The SA-11 was moving therefore even used its radar was not able perform a launch. (The RN mention this modeling issue.) Likely it relocated itself to a better position according to ground war. I can’t wait more videos.Ps. It was strange that you did not selected the classical Clod War era new skin in weapon selection.

I didn’t know about the skin selection! Will do that for next time
-
Only drop tanks of Tornados needs new skin and separated models as F-15A/B/C/D and E have now.

GOOD WORK MOLNI!!
And EXTRA thanks for Sparrow option
You made one finnish virtual pilot VERY happy
-
I’m really enjoying your videos, Krause, and I hope you can get more of the 80’s campaign posted up on YouTube.
Many thanks, good Sir!

I’m desperately trying to find a methodology to prevent Tu-95s from bombing my Korean peninsula airbases (Pohang, Pusan, Kimhae) into the stone age. I’m intercepting with the F-4Ss, F-5A/E, and F-16s but they are getting through anyway. I can shoot them down in 3D but they attack in a forked approach and I can’t be in two places at once.

I usually can’t sit thru these F4 youtubes. However, I was screaming “WTF” at my laptop when you popup on the wrong stpt.
Well done.Nice mod Molni. I’m going to need a new video card to run it.

I guess you refer the Iron Fortress campaign and H-6 (Tu-16). I did not place Tu-95 in any campaigns.

Yes, Tu-16 and IL-28 too. I found I could station some Kadena 16s offshore for a quick flight to “Agent Smith” them. With wing tanks they last 1.5h easily so one squadron can cover both ROK bases 24/7. If I try to fly myself any full sortie then I quit to find at least one airbase destroyed. I have to play big daddy for campaign and fly only 10-20m at a time or bombers always get through.
I’ve noticed there are two squadron #33, the 15s and 16s at Kadena. Also some DPRK ADA BN are named a little wrong with capitalization.

The name of sq. are just a label their campaign ID which gives the real ID. If some units have the same # it is just a typo error from me.

The home base of bombers can be eliminated with very long range missions. The air defense is not so strong it is FLOT and object defense orientated.
In Iron Fortress blue side has two main advantages, the CV based squarons are more which are in Japan. These airbases never can be attacked by red side so sq. at lest there always remain operational. -
There are no tanker aircraft, the AI can’t fly (in 3D, 2D is cheating) all the way to China and back on internal fuel. Attacking the bomber bases is not practical or realistic. And the bases are well guarded.

I placed tankers in all campaigns. You can create manually tanker deep into see and you can flank the whole main part of theater. The bomber bases are far from FLOT and other bases and none of airbases are guarded more than one heavy SAM and maybe AAA or MAPNAD. If you can fly to airbase without beig detected and intercepted for a 4 ship flight a single SA-2/3 is not an issue…

KC-130? F-16 can’t take fuel from that.

1991 - Rolling Fire - KC-135
1982 - Iron Fortress - ****, I scrwed it, I wised to use KC-135
1987 - Eurowar - KC-135 + KC-10I can upload tomorrow a fixed save1.cam with KC-135.
