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...

Ok, all six parts are up. Thanks a lot to everybody who checked them out!

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...

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.
