Historical Background
March 19, 2003

CVN-75 is currently on station north of Alexandria, Egypt.
Turkey, Israel, Jordan and Syria have denied airspace use for Operation Iraqi Freedom missions. CNO had directed that the Med carrier groups will have to return home if they cannot contribute to the ATO for OIF.
This left the Tomcats of VF32, Prowlers of VAQ 130, Hornets of VFA 37,105 and VMFA 115 no choice but to route down the Sinai Peninsula, across the Gulf of Aqaba then  enter Saudi Arabian airspace south of the Jordanian border, continue through Saudi Arabia and on to Iraq and targets in Baghdad.  These events are detailed in "Tanker Pilot" by Mark Hasara (LCol. USAF ret), in the chapter "Cyrus Crosses  the Sinai". Naturally tanker support was critical for mission success. Take on the role of Capt. Mark "Cyrus" Vance, CAG of CVW3 to plan and execute a mission to take out the Baghdad AD Command Center

Inspired by recent events and the Tanker Wars, Oil In The Water tells the story of an escalating conflict between the US and Iran that is sparked by Iran's attack of two oil tankers with Silkworm missiles as they transit the Strait of Hormuz.

A massive multiplayer mission designed with realism in mind for training and learning air to ground tactics. Capable of supporting 4 independent flights(hawg, tusk, pig, boar) each with their own randomized tasking complete with voice overs. Sorties are likely to be different on each mission reset and require flights to mix and match weapon loadouts for the greatest chance of success, Supports Supercarrier and non-Supercarrier operations. Helos can also participate in sorties with aircraft and perform SAR/CSAR. Read the briefing carefully. Future updates to Syria and the addition of Cyprus/airports will allow for additional aircraft to be supported.

A great mission packed with voiceovers that is different each time you play it.  Play it single player or multiplayer co-op.  All the popular planes, and Hueys in the Persian Gulf.  When playing single player, you can control the other aircraft via the F10 comm menu and tell them what to do.  You can also choose different aircraft each time you play, so that the game play is fr om a different perspective each time.  There are many ways to complete the objectives and I'm very curious to hear how you go about doing it!  Mission time is limited to two hours, otherwise the enemy moves in under the cover of darkness and things won't go so well.

It is set up as a "Tower Defense" type game wh ere you have enemies spawning around a central location (all randomized), and they make their way towards a central location which you must protect.

Tension have risen in the Middle east. The Syrian army has started deploying ballistic missiles launchers near Israel. The last months troop activity has created concerns that Syria is planning a ballistic missile attacks. Last night Intel was revived that the attack is imminent and we need to act now to the launch of the missiles.

Work alongside AI elements as well as ground forces to provide essential close air support in a multi stage mission as the ground battle rages below.

All AI elements are scripted and tweaked to remove that funky AI behaviour we all know and love

If you do discover any bugs, or just think I'm an incredibly talented mission designer, let me know in the comments

'Hunting the Medina Division' is a co-op (4x Ka-50) mission on the Persian Gulf map.
