Hey there DCS Brothers & Sisters. This mission should take you around 75 mins incl a refuel & I would difficulty rate this 8/10. I hope you like this one & report any issues in the comments below. Have fun & good luck. 10:00 MARIANAS ISLANDS. YOUR IN YOUR PIT ABOARD CVN-72 USS ABRAHAM LINCOLN & ABOUT TO COMMENCE START UP. THERE'S A SENSE OF ELECTRICITY MIXED WITH TREPIDATION HANGING IN THE AIR. WE ALL KNOW THE SITUATION IS TENSE & VOLATILE. THE ISLANDS HAVE RECENTLY BEEN DIVIDED & WE ARE KEEPING A CLOSE WATCH FOR ANY ACTIVITY THAT MAY WARRANT ACTION. IT NOW LOOKS LIKE THAT ACTION HAS ARRIVED.. WHETHER WE WANTED IT OR NOT. AWACS "MAGIC" HAS SPOTTED A SMALL GROUP OF VESSELS CONSISTING OF A LARGE ARMED LOADING DOCK ALONG WITH OTHER SMALLER ARMED BOATS ANCHORED OFF THE ISLAND OF SAIPAN.
For a heads up, a full condensed flythrough I posted to my YT Ch -->

OK LISTEN UP, CAPTAIN WALT "SARGE" SLAUGHTERHOUSE HAS REITERATED TO ME YOUR SPECIFIC ORDERS FOR THIS MISSION ARE TO BE A RECONNAISSANCE EXORCISE ONLY BUT ALSO LETTING THE REDS KNOW WE'RE NOT SITTING AROUND ON OUR BUTTS EITHER. YOU WILL HAVE A LIMITED ORDNANCE LOADOUT & ALSO AN ATFLIR TARGETING POD. FOLLOW YOUR FLIGHT PLAN & ANY INSTRUCTIONS ON ROUTE THE AIR CHIEF PROVIDES & GIVE US A HEADS UP OF WHAT THOSE VESSELS ARE UP TO. AWACS "MAGIC" WILL STILL BE PROVIDING SURVEILLANCE AROUND THE AO & TANKER "SHELL" WILL BE AT ANGELS 12 IF YOU WISH TO FILL UP & YOUR KNEEBOARD HAS MORE INFO. AFTER YOU COMPLETE YOUR MISSION YOU WILL RTB BACK TO MOTHER. OK THAT'S IT FOR NOW. STAY SAFE, STAY COOL & TREAT THIS LIKE ANY OTHER DAY AS WE'RE NOT EXPECTING ANY TROUBLE, BUT IN SAYING THAT, KEEP YOUR HEAD ON A SWIVEL & BE READY FOR ANYTHING.
GOOD LUCK PILOT.
