RE: F-5A Lightning

<t> At those altitudes, the settings in the game are in 1,000' increments.&nbsp; So, at best, by shooting directly vertical a defending fighter would be shooting at a target at 1,000' range.&nbsp; Since in reality that effectively never happened (planes flying perfectly vertically up), we're talking ...

Agree with all posters on P/DNR to adjacent hex with landing force; then assign target hex for landing group on next order phase. You have to be confident in your situation to do this though, as it is a definite "giveaway" as to what the ...

<t> Set their destination to be&nbsp;a hex adjacent to the target, then when they arrive there give them the order to move to the target.<br/>

And no, the closest you can come to combining the landing with a bombardment is to have a Bombardment TF in the hex.&nbsp; But they will still ...

<t> You may not need a "good" DL, but to avoid the chance of not flying you need a DL higher than you get from just having friendly LCUs in the hex.&nbsp; I have seen numerous occasions where just flying a single recon mission over the target will suddenly unleash all the other aircraft that have ...

RE: Wonder why January 14th or 15 ?????
