I would like to attend as Viking 6, please.

I will throw my hat in the ring as Viking-5. I accept no responsibility for crashed helicopters or traffic accidents as a consequence of this.

I have been told I am far too much of a vehicle liability and will instead take up Viking-7! (For legal reasons, this is a joke).

Kastor.K

Would you like to take CHAOS-1 ?

I'd love to. How feasible is the single SPARROW vs "heavy air defense, including MANPADs" though? Last Op RAIDER really struggled with Iglas and the SPARROW can't even do the stand-off approach the RAIDER can. I'd advise for dialing back the threat or adding some additional way we can deal with the AAA.

This has been tested, and the mission version that was submitted is balanced in a way that one sparrow can be effective; you will receive more info on Wednesday, but there will be a challenge other wise its no fun

So, IMO, it can be effective for Scouting, so Raider can be stand-off platform. Last OP, Raider crew even stated they got way too close, and their tactical efforts were quite affected due to terrain (masking/unmasking, LOS targeting etc. etc.) And see, that even goes to what exact weapons Raider is employing, like e.g. if it's LOBL top down Hellfires, radar guided Lima variants or Kilo laser guided or even much more direct-to-target DAGRs or APKs. And plus, Sparrow can more easily fly single pilot versus Raider being a two-seater platform. I will agree that "heavy air defense" is concerning even at NOE altitudes, but that depends of course on what AA is being employed. Tunguska is an absolute master killer, probably OP IMO. Others are more more manageable. Plus, weren't we going to run Sparrow as wing-man to Raider?

Slots indicate that it's just a single SPARROW, no RAIDER to scout for. Hence my concern.

Okay, yeah, good catch. I must have confused this with something else. Your concern is definitely valid. If it's heavy air defense, it's likely to be problematic.

i will accept this with a cold one
