Watched Part 5 today - wow is it getting close!

Can't wait to see Part 6. Then I fully intend to try your tactics and see how it goes on my own. This is a bear of a scenario.

I hope you keep doing Command videos after this series - your delivery and focus on the details is great. Keep up the great work!

One thing I noticed in part 2 I believe is that you were individually setting the groups' sparrow WRA to 30nm max. If that's a number you want for (almost) all your sparrow equipped planes, don't forget you can set it in the side doctrine window (ctrl-shift-f9 I believe) so that they all inherit that setting. Then you can tweak it on a per mission/flight basis if needed.

Also don't forget that you can see distance from currently selected unit to wherever your mouse is in the bottom left data box

Great advice! I really need to put a "sticky" on my monitor with a list of interface options to check and set before I really get things started. Once I start the narration, all bets are off on what I will manage to remember. [:)]

Great tip about the data box! I had forgotten all about it being there. [:)]

The visible radar cone is the search arc. The illumination arc is usually plus a few degrees on either side, which is why you see illumination beams going out of the search cone.

Good to know!

Thanks a lot! Let me know how it goes when you try it.

I should have another scenario finished in a day or two...

One other option that occurred to me is to stand-off with my SEAD flight and do some traditional "weaseling", drawing the SA-3's fire and ducking under cover until they need to re-load. Come to think of it, the terrain is perfect for that. Endless possibilities...

Hey BunyapSims,

Just watched Part 6 - that last Phantom loss...9% final chance and the computer rolls a 1...amazing!

Great series and I'm looking forward to the next one. Off to play this one myself!

Good job!!! Even though the mission was a bugger, your AAR and the way you presented it really showed the power and flexibility of this fine sim/game we play. Can't wait to see more of them.
