CV60 -> RE: AAR-STANAVFORLANT and question (1/12/2015 10:48:24 AM)

Thanks. For the AAR, I wanted to demonstrate a multi-axis/multi-platform attack, so I closed the KYNDA SAG with the NATO SAG, and used my CAP to blind the Soviets by destroying the airborne SSC platforms (the HORMONES and TU-16s). That is one way to neutralize the considerable Soviet missile range advantage. But even with planning, it was still a near-run thing, as despite my best efforts, a HORMONE almost got a targeting solution on my SAG. Airpower alone could sink the KYNDA, making the SAG's Harpoons unnecessary in such a situation. IMHO, a better plan would have been to focus the airstrike on the missile-equipped KYNDA and MOD Kashin, keeping the NATO SAG outside the engagement envelope, and using it to sink any Soviet vessels that survived the NATO airstrike. quote:
this was interesting..... The only comment I would make… Is that it is common for allied surface groups to have to operate inside of the Soviet missile envelope... during this era and later... as they have such extreme missile range… and the key ingredient… Is not to allow them to have targeting solution on your assets.... which you successfully employed…
