Maybe this is too early to tell but I will strike while the iron is hot. EA turns up the heat with the 1.2 missile lock so it may be that coordinated ground/air attacks will be needed to advance and cap some maps while reducing air losses. Just one more task for forces to deal with on the road to victory lol
It is called JSEAD Joint Suppression of Enemy Air Defense and it is one of the hardest teamwork skills a military can exercise. Here is my BF2 translation.
Commander Tasks....Anticipate - Coordinate - Verify
Scan&Spot Sat for enemy locs and informs team (right click on red dot etc)
Task&Talk Issues orders to ground/air squads, for mutual timing of attacks
Set&Track Set UAV, track and report to tasked units about enemy activity
Plot&Drop Plots arty on enemy AA and plans supply drops to support the attack
Squad Leaders....Flexibility - Cooperation - Leadership
Plan, move, execute, report, refit and move out
Man AA vehicles continuously
Man AA stations as needed, frequently
Get out the .50 cals and PKMs to weaken or destroy aircraft
Aircraft...Situational Awareness - Coordinate Strike Plans - Cooperate with Ground Plan
Form an air squad to assist commanders communication
Attack in mutually supporting teams of 2-3 mixed aircraft
First aircraft drops defensive measures lowest and fastest path over enemy AA to shield following and more exposed aircraft
Following aircraft destroys AA with TV missile if available
Next pass executes strike, either planned or targets of opportunity
Kit Priorities (air maps supporting JSEAD strikes)
Sniper AA gunners
AT AA vehicles/stations
Spt AA stations
SF AA vehicles/stations
I bet I end up editing this a few times....
Let's have fun out there
Commanders, the attack plan needs to be in greater depth now. Account for all the AA along the routes/avenues of advance. Arty needs to hit the pedmounted AA in the strike area OR along the air avenues of attack.
