SeaQueen -> RE: Strike Mission Out of Range Despite in Operational Range? (3/13/2021 2:24:49 AM)

You're thinking about this one wrong. The key is to understand the tactic you're trying to portray.
At the scenario start, the aircraft are not en route to the target. They have no target to be en route to. They are in flight, however. With an undetected target it suggests they're in a holding orbit waiting to be passed a target by some external cuing. In this case it looks like the external cuing is provided by the Bears, Blinders, and the MiG-25 recce flight?
The way to think about it, is that the naval bombers and the sensing aircraft are a team. The sensors are at the front of the kill chain. The naval bombers are at the tail end.
Really, the naval bombers are there to fill a CAP, and strike things when the spotters locate a suitable target for them. A better way to achieve what you're trying to achieve is create those CAPs for the bombers as patrol missions (ASuW - naval). Add tankers to support that CAP (using support missions), so that they can make it to and from home base. Make a prosecution area to define the sector where they're interested in striking surface ships (I assume the GIUK Gap). Change the WRA so that they aren't going to strike ships that are too small. Change the ROE so they won't shoot at things not declared hostile. Then make sure that the sensors for the spotters can cover the area effectively.
You don't really need the recce FOXBAT, though. The Bears are good enough using their sensors to cue the naval bombers. I'd elongate their orbits more to better make use of their sensors.
