September 5, 201510 yr Author Lost six Backfires, very annoying. My long-range TU-95 bombers still don´t come through Lajes SAM shield and fighter launched missiles. The US SAG remains instact. That is a tough one. END OF PART THREE
September 6, 201510 yr Author Session Four started I have started to ferry most aircraft to Ovar. This will be the starting point for the final attacks on the hostile SAG and, in step two, on Lajes. In the meantime I regroup my remaining two subs and vector them towards the SAG. Lajes will be attacked by the two TU-95 bombers. Sooner or later, some more missiles will break through its SAM screen. My tactics are more successful now: I use my stealth fighters to closely approach the SAG and Lajes and simply shoot down ac in range, focusing on AEW assets. Just got one Sentry and one AEW JLens. And several F-35, Hornets and Eagles. Those PAK-50 are REALLY dangerous. Lost two Eurofighters, shot down by F-35s, coming from the SAG. There must be a nest of mini carriers, loaden with jump jets. It seems that there are thousands of them.
September 6, 201510 yr Author The remaining six Backfires score: two ships sunk, one frigate and one DDG. But still both Lajes AB and the US SAG are formidable opponents. END OF PART FOUR
September 8, 201510 yr Thread hijack! Min Vic achieved at 9:02:xx to go. Total Vic achieved shortly thereafter, at 9:03:27 to go. Back to regularly scheduled programming ...
September 8, 201510 yr Author Session Five started The next Backfire attack sinks a Bunker Hill DDG and an Lewis and Clark AO. The main targets are the Wasp LHDs, though. No Wasps, no F-35s any longer. Sunk a first Wasp and another Lewis and Clark. No more F-35s in the air. seems, that the hostile airwings are depleted. Great loss on the other battlefield: I became incautious and tried to RTB my long-range bombers on the direct route Eastwards. But Lajes AB obviously still has teeth and fighters. Both bombers are shot down. Blunder.

September 9, 201510 yr SPOILERS>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I'm having a nice time with this one too. I did tinker with it, reducing my A/C from 405 to 379, losing the SU-50 and a few other things. if that's not OK, my apologies, and if it is, I can send it along to you for your perusal. (I did not peek). The plentiful AEW assets provided make this fairly low stress, although nice and busy. I'm ahead in A/C losses 165 to 16 at 9:19 to go, but no victory yet. It seems like I have shot down 500 cruise missiles so far. No damage to ships or bases so far. I did get lucky when a poorly planned Storm Shadow volley distracted the RED SAM's long enough for me to shoot with the Oscar, hitting an American carrier with three Shipwrecks. She's in bad shape and out of the fight I think. This is great fun, thanks for making it.

October 4, 201510 yr Author Returned after a few weeks off from Wargaming. have become cautious after experiencing many painful losses.
October 4, 201510 yr Author btw have forgotten how to do air-to-air refueling. Does the ac reaching bingo fuel have to join group with a tanker? Or is there a shortcut?
October 4, 201510 yr Author Victory achieved! Finally I destroyed Lajes AB, using my last remaining Backfire Bombers. All in all I downed 401 aircraft, sunk 2 carriers and 37 ships. Lost 218 aircraft, ten ships and five subs in return. Time was 06:10 to go. Great scenario!

Yes, you have to join a tanker to the group. To force the refueling once it is in the same group as the recipients give the Alt-r command.
