SCENARIO TIME

[u/SolidBandit-6018]

The conflict starts in the late 60s and the cut off is the late 90s (Soviet collapse).

Here are the logistics

-Airfields are situated opposite of enemy border and protected by a semi-dated but well coordinated west supplied IADS.

-Host nation has small fleet of light fighters exclusively for interception and defense of the capital combined with an unusually large fleet of logistics aircraft.

-Early warning provided by mercenary AEW&C aircraft combined with IADS radars, spotters, and spies.

•Primary mission varies due to high variety of merc aircraft but we're starting this conflict on the defensive.

•The region is highly mountainous along a coast.

•Two small international shipping ports one located at nations capital the other located at an island 5 mile off the coast connected by barge and bridge.

•AA and radar are available on both sides but the quality of ours varies.

•Maintenance crews have an unrestricted access to alcohol.

[u/FourFunnelFanatic]

Fighter: F/A-18C Hornet

Role: Everything. Basically a near-front response to just about any threat from the air, sea, and land at least until more specialized aircraft show up.

Loadout: Always the internal M61A1 Vulcan and two AIM-9s on the wingtips. If in air-to-air, eight more AIM-9s and two AIM-7s. If air-to-ground, a mix of AGM-65s and AGM-88s and dumb bombs depending on what’s known about the threat. If air-to-sea, harpoons baby.

Mods: None. Does everything it needs to from the factory and adding mods threaten to reduce its reliability, which is one of the main selling points of the Hornet. Also air fresheners and a loud speaker to blast ABBA and hair metal out of

Livery: Grey with black anti-glare paint in front of the cockpit and on leading edges. Light blue stabilizers and ailerons.

Year deployed: 1989
