TOP SECRET - priority 1
THE HARMAGEDDON OPERATION.
(You are sitting in the briefing room onboard the carrier Enterprise
together with half a dozen other pilots. It is in the middle of the
night, the ship is rolling gently in the swell and you have just got
this top secret document in your hand.)
Time: 990827 0200 local time
Situation.
The Korean War seems to be at its end. The north side is loosing ground
rapidly. The Allied Command has decided to launch a complicated grand
scale operation that hopefully will bring a definite end to the war.
Essential to the North Koreans war effort has been its nuclear
powerplant situated at WP10. Allied Intelligence reports that this
facility is used for producing raw materials for a hydrogen bomb. It is
essential to destroy the cooling towers as well as the reactor itself
(see map 2). It has been decided to use a small strike force of fast
fighter-bombers (F/A-18 Hornet), equipped with tactical nuclear bombs
for this mission.
Allied intelligence has also found out that General Chonggi Ho, the
notorious leader of the North Korean war effort, is going to visit the
airbase at Hyon Ni, in secret, between 0400 and 0700 990827. The object
is to interrogate five captured American Army officers. His means of
transport is unknown. Intelligence suggests that he probably will arrive
in a Mi-24 Hind helicopter. Three CH-47 Chinook helicopters with a US
Navy SEAL team onboard will fly from Chuncheon to arrive at Hyon Ni
after its air defenses and possible armored vehicles have been
neutralized. The American prisoners will be liberated and General Chongi
Ho seized and brought to Chuncheon. He will later be transported to Soul
where he will be tried as a war criminal. It is e.g. well known that he,
among other things, personally has ordered the execution of at least 20
captured American pilots.
A reasonable assumption is that the North Korean war effort will come to
a standstill when they loose their most aggressive leader. Intelligence
sources assert that the general opinion in North Korea slowly is turning
against the war.
Your mission.
With 3 F/A-18 Hornets, attack and destroy the nuclear powerplant
(primary target) at WP10. Hornet 2 and 3 will be armed for SEAD (SWx2,
120x2, Harmx4, EXT). Your armament should be SWx2, 120x1, FLIR, Harmx2,
B57x2 and EXT (or you could take 120x2 instead of the FLIR). After the
primary target is destroyed, fly immediately to Enterprise for refueling
and rearming. Take off as soon as possible and escort the three
helicopters now en route to Hyon Ni. This is an emergency situation, as
you are not properly armed for this type of mission, but there are no
other units available. Suppress any AA and SAM batteries in the area.
Destroy any remaining targets at Hyon Ni (General Chongi Ho's assumed
helicopter or any remaining armored vehicles). Protect the commando team
and the hovering helicopters during the short duration of the raid (5
minutes is calculated). Escort the helicopters back to Chuncheon and
land there. This will be your new base for some time, so bring you
personal stuff with you in the plane.
Execution.
Follow assigned waypoints (1 - 10) to primary target, which is located
at WP10 (=”WP:” on HUD). The route has been devised by Intelligence and
is using the terrain optimally to hide your strike force as long as
possible. Down any enemy fighters and destroy SAM batteries around
primary target. Avoid (Hornet 1), if possible, engaging fighters and
SAM:s en route. These should be taken care of in the first place by the
Tomcats and SEAD units, and if necessary by Hornet 2 and 3. After
destroying primary target, go directly to Enterprise at WP11 (=”WP ” on
HUD) for rearming and refueling. Speed is essential here. Otherwise you
will not be in time to escort the Chinooks to Hyon Ni at WP12 (=”WP< ”
on HUD) and back. Start your approach for landing at Chuncheon at WP14
("WP>" on the HUD).
Timing.
0420      	1 B-2A Spirit Stealth Bomber (83x18) starts from Seoul
International eastwards and along the coast up north to hit 	the
following targets: Maeng San Airfield, the Singye Bridge 	and Ichon
Airfield. This bomber is unescorted.
0420      	2 F-14 Tomcats (Swx2, 120x6, EXT) take off from the Enter
prise for MIGCAP patrol in area.
0420      	1 E-3A Sentry (AWAC) takes off from Chuncheon.
0421	F/A-18 Hornet 3 starts from the Enterprise. For description 	of
armament see under "Your Mission".
0423	F/A-18 Hornet 2 starts from the Enterprise.
0423	Hornet 1 (you) starts from the Enterprise
0424    	1 F-16 Falcon (Swx2, 120x2, HARMx4, EXT) starts from 	Chuncheon
for SEAD patrol.
0427      	1 F-16 Falcon (Swx2, Mavx6) looking for enemy ground
vehicles 	takes off from Chuncheon.
0428    	1 A-10 Warthog (6xLD84, EXT) takes off from Dongducheon 
	towards Hyon Ni airfield. The target is the control tower and 	hangars.
0445    	3 CH-47 Chinooks start from Chuncheon with Navy SEAL com-	mando
team onboard. They will arrive at Hyon Ni at approxi-	mately 0510.
As the A-10 is unable to defend itself, it is essential that enemy
fighters, SAM:s and AA:s are destroyed before the A-10 reach the target
area. If the timetable is kept, this should be no problem. It is also
very essential to protect the Chinooks on their route to Hyon Ni and
back. Intelligence has some uncertain indications of mobile SAM units
and stray enemy fighters in area. Some helicopter movements have also
been reported. And remember, things doesn’t always work out as planned!
The General might try to escape in a helicopter, so keep a sharp
lookout.
Administration.
Your callsigns will be Hornet 1, 2 and 3. Maintain positive radio
contact with appropriate controlling agencies (e.g. Mission Control).
You are the flight lead for this mission. Planning responsibilities and
tactics are your choice. It is necessary to use Hornet 2 and 3 as
efficient as possible. How you use them is essential for a successful
mission. Operate within all applicable NATOPS and Squadron/Group/Wing
SOPs.
Map 1.
 
The route suggested by Intelligence, to avoid alerting enemy air
defenses. These waypoints will be programmed into your inertial
navigational system before departure. Recommended speed from Enterprise
to WP6 is 500 kts and from WP4 to WP8 380 kts. Autopilot in HSEL mode
can be used until WP9. You should switch to the next waypoint about 0.5
miles away from the selected waypoint. A skillful pilot with good eyes
could choose to follow the river at minimum height from WP6.
Map 2.
 
Close view of the nuclear powerplant
Conditions for ”Successful mission”.
Most of the primary target (cooling towers + reactor vessel) must be
destroyed. The main part of your friendly units (airplanes, AA- and
SAM-units, gun boats etc.) must be protected. Most of the enemy
interceptors and SAM-units must also be destroyed.
Comments.
I have tried to create a ”realistic”, rather complicated scenario with a
comprehensive briefing and several different parts, where timing and
waypoint navigation is essential. Total mission time should be about 80
- 90 minutes. If you want to make the mission more difficult you could
use the Mission Editor and increase the aggressiveness of the enemy
interceptors. By the way, when rearming on the Enterprise you will get
the same ordinance as originally (Swx2, 120x1, FLIR, HARMx2, N57x2,
EXT). I don’t know of any way to change the armament during a running
game. Maybe there is a way (please tell me if)? To destroy ground
targets at Hyon Ni (e.g. General Chongi Ho's means of transport) you
will have to use the gun, (and FLIR) as you can’t rearm with Mavericks.
You should not use the nukes!!! If you really want to use them, go and
bomb Ichon airbase, you have my permission. (If you don’t blow the
General’s possible helicopter, or whatever vehicle he is using, to
kingdom come, the commando team will probably do it.)
To make the game as realistic as possible, please do not use ”shift-6”,
to check which enemy planes are operating. If you do, there will be no
”surprise, surprise” (Of course this could be regarded as equal to the
information the AWACs give you, so you decide…). You could use ”shift-5”
to see what your friends are doing. That would be realistic, as in a
real mission you will get reports on the radio all the time about what
is happening.
Have a good time playing.

Misà che hai sbagliato NG, perchè questa è una missione creata per un
simulatore\videogioco....
