Operation Bakwa Hammer - A Runway Strike Mission

[graveyard4DCS]

A new mission, Operation "Bakwa Hammer", is now available on ED user files.

This runway strike mission is designed to demonstrate optimal runway attack strategies based on the principles discussed in Runway Attacks in DCS World: Is (Almost) Everyone Doing It Wrong ???

A detailed analysis of the mathematical aspects of runway strikes, applicable to other elongated targets, can be found my personal page.
Key findings indicate that non-PGM ordnance is most effective when delivered at a slight offset angle to the runway, rather than a parallel approach. The optimal angle is dependent on aircraft type and weapon CEP.

You can fly "Bakwa Hammer" with any of your favorite DCS high-fidelity aircraft, either solo or with a wingman in MP. This mission challenges you to prepare your own flight plan from scratch, rewarding meticulous pre-flight planning. To cater to different playstyles, each aircraft is available in standard and "immortal" modes, allowing you to focus on the mission's tactical aspects without fear of premature mission failure.

Eventually, remember that you can definitely use CombatFlite on the Afghanistan theater for your mission planning.
