We already made half of the "4T" study: Task and Target have been analyzed and it's now time to look at the Threat and Tactics. 3.3 Threat The threat analysis constitutes a crucial phase of mission planning, directly influencing the tactics employed to achieve mission objectives. While we already di

Beginning of the "4T" target study: "Task" and "Target". "Threat" and "Tactics" will follow. Now that we have established the mission's feasibility and explored general tactical options, we can turn our attention to a comprehensive target study. To structure this analysis, we will employ the "4T" fr

Tactical analysis: enemy SAM and A/A threat, friendly SAM and A/A support, final attack profile. The preceding feasibility analysis having confirmed the mission's feasibility, we can now dive into the tactical analysis. We will examine here the enemy and friendly situation, with particular attention

Let's leverage the previously released runway strike mission as a practical example to illustrate the mission planning process. This process, which can be adapted for virtually any Air-to-Ground (A/G) mission, generally follows these steps: Feasibility Analysis Tactical Analysis Target Analysis Flig

This is a DCS World mission for Afghanistan theater designed as a practical application of the tactical study of runway attacks that I published previously. This mission is designed to be played by one or two people, using two similar aircraft fitted with the best anti-runway ordnance available on t

Attached is a kneeboard summarizing recommended runway attack parameters: offset angle, minimum number of bombs and bombs interval. As a final product following the mathematical analysis of runway attack published previously, you'll find attached in .pdf format a kneeboard page summarizing my recomm

Last part of the mathematical study of optimal runway attack parameters, and conclusions! Following my previous explorations into calculating the optimal offset angle (θ) and bomb interval for runway attacks, let's take the time to make a short graphical study. I'll try to provide you visually with

The end of the article detailing the (easy) maths behind runway attack tactics. Now that you know how to determine the optimal offset angle, it's time to discuss the ideal bomb interval and minimum number of bombs that should be carried. 5. Bomb Interval: Optimizing Damage Spacing When attacking a r

The (easy) maths behind successful runway attacks! As you've seen it previously in historical examples, effectively disabling a runway is not a trivial task and precise application of mathematical principles to optimize attack parameters is required. I will try to explain you here the (simplified) c
