I made the mistake of thinking the two land bases on the Russian side were well defended, so I had 212 BGM-109's hit the nearer one, and 92 more at the one further away. It is amazing the kind of firepower that can be brought to bear from a US CVBG operating far from friendly territory.

Heh, yeah, as they say in old Blighty, that's just not cricket. [:'(] I only added the land bases in frustration to the Russians inability to find the US CSG. As a matter of fact, I might just teleport the aircraft into the edge of the AO, to keep the cruise missiles out of the equation.

One of the other things you may want to try in that scenario is to reduce the airwing of the US CVN to a more realistic airgroup - now days it looks like they only deploy with 4 VFA squadrons on board (50 AC max), in the scenario currently there are 72 Hornets available for things. I'm going to try a run through with a reduced hornet complement.

I added the Marine airwing in the scenario, because if this were close to real world, we wouldn't send a carrier strike group into the mouth of the Bear with only 50 or so fighters. When I was in the Persian Gulf (Arabian Sea,) we deployed with, or at least hosted a Marine Air Wing- which is what you see reflected. That said, I've done it a dozen times with the standard 60ish AC compliment, and the results are always the same. Basically, you've got to make the odds so heavily in the RFN's favor, that the match-up, is no longer a match-up. Take enough away from the US, and add more and more to the Russian side, and you finally reach parity... and eventually a gang rape of the US task force.

The purpose of this is a clash of titans.

I wonder if you loaded a Nimitz with russian aircraft, but left the rest of the surface fleets as they are if the out come would change... does giving the russian's a super carrier improve their odds?

What happens if the US just gets a Kuznetsov, loaded with a compliment of US aircraft...

Try doing it with the US having just a Wasp or two. That might be the equivalent.
