Afghanistan Training Mission - Hornet Strike - OEF 2001/10/13

Hello,

I just shared in ED's user files a mission for the Hornet in Afghanistan.

I consider it a training mission because the overall context is very basic, but it still gives the opportunity to test your skills in various domains, like fuel and time management, tactical landing, LGB delivery, SAM threat management, etc... Also, the mission starts in the air, and I suggest to end the flight in Farah, even if doesn't make any sense give the historical context.

But it is also an opportunity to discover third-party tools, like CombatFlite for planning or Tacview for debriefing.

For those interested, I created the kneeboard pages using https://dcs-mdc.com/ and I usually load my flight plan in the jet with DCS-DTC. Also, I generated the ATO with Combined Ops.

Don't hesitate to use this thread to ask questions, in particular if you struggle to decipher the ETF (Electronic Target Folder), the ATO (Air Tasking Order), or if you can't understand why these particular bomb fuze settings have been chosen.

Also, I'd be interested if people who flew this mission could share their attack plan and BDA (Battle Damage Assessment), it would be a nice opportunity to discuss tactical choices.

Note: obviously, fell free to modify this mission and change the aircraft type in the mission editor if you'd like to fly it in the Viper or any other aircraft of your choice! However, make sure that you choose the correct weapon load and fuze settings!
