AlexGGGG -> Arctic Tsunami, version 3.0 NATO side (7/22/2018 5:03:04 PM)

This is a brief AAR as I did not take notes along the way. So this is more of a recollection from memory.
Deploy all F-15s and F16-s to Andoya and Bardufoss, making sure the corresponding missile type is available in magazines. Deploying Typhoons useless because no Meteors available anywhere north.
Set up AEW and tanker pattern just west of Andoya.
Set Orions to provide sea control, and arm Poseidons with SLAM-ERs.
Arm all Tornados with ALARM II.
Use F-35s from QE in anti-air role every once in a while (too far away).
Move Storm MTB group to the south out of range of ASMs.
Meanwhile, use aircraft to jump in and out Russian SAM ranges to bleed off SAMs. Works with great success with land-based S-300 and ship-based don't know what. Works to a less extent against Foxgloves with their long range AAMs. Once Foxgloves are out of missiles, send F-15s after them on afterburners for a kill. Works reasonably well. Note that F-15s have longest-range missile, AMRAAM-D.
In 12 to 14 hours achieved air superiority.
Rearm some F-16s with Penguins, pull in ALARM-carrying Tornadoes in SEAD role and Poseidons with SLAM-ERs. Use all of this to kill 2x Nanuchka, kill western SAG centered around Admiral Nakhimov, and send some ALARMs towards Kuznetsov CV. Sent all aircraft back to reload (time was about 2days 4 hours to go). Meanwhile, sent Storm MTB group to fire missiles at Kuznetsov. Simultaneously launched 8x F16s with a total of 16 Penguins. That was not very effective in absence of ALARMs, but still got some hits on targets. BDA proved difficult due to cloud cover.
Fight off another round of Backfires (and Blackjacks? not sure really), this time easy because they had no escort and I had CAP ready. Kitchen-D is still a pain in the butt to intercept, moving at 2900 kts and only slowing down just before impact. Requires micromanaging every intercept.
My second wave of ALARMs and SLAMERs mostly cleans up the rest of the fleet, Petr Veliky still afloat with heavy damage and fire, and some stupid oiler completely intact. Half an hour later it sinks, leaving the oiler for my Penguins.
Score 6755 Triumph
Butcher bill as follows
