V1.1: updated enemy aircraft (Iran did not have Mirage F.1 at this point), fixed briefing and added target picture in mission.

The date is 11 May 1987, the Persian Gulf tanker war is raging. A hostile nation has vowed to close the Strait of Hormuz to all commercial shipping. President Reagan responded with a prime time national TV address that "We will not tolerate aggression against our allies across the Persian Gulf and it will be met with overwhelming force." You are the Director of Operations for Carrier Air Wing 14 aboard the USS Constellation, currently on patrol in the Gulf of Oman. Last night, hostile frigates severely damaged a Greek tanker and turned back a Kuwaiti flagged tanker. President Reagan has ordered Operation Earnest Will in effect immediately. F-14 mission: Escort the F-18 strike package safely to the Bandar Abas target. F-18 mission: Destroy the integrated air defense underground command post. The strike will be supported by OCA and SEAD assets. Use cockpit audio on 100% to hear Ronnie!

The Wardog Squadron escorts OFS Kestrel and two other carriers from the Osean 3rd Naval Fleet, OFS Buzzard and OFS Vulture, as they relocate into the inland Bannion Sea. Shortly before the end of the mission, they are attacked by the Yuktobanian Air Force but fend them off. However, two burst missiles are then launched from the Yuktobanian submarine carrier Scinfaxi, which wipe out most of the VFA-206 and sink the Buzzard and Vulture. Wardog manages to climb to a safe altitude in time and survives, along with Captain Snow. With two carriers gone, Wardog is temporarily transferred to Heierlark Air Base for repairs and refueling and is tasked with escorting all available nuggets from Heierlark back to Sand Island with them.

Destroy all air to air threats.

Version 1.2 updated 19 July 23

A small group of Dubai's elite have staged a coup. They have taken over the city itself and most of the northern Arabian Peninsula with the help of several local militia groups; as well as parts of the UAE Airforce, Army, and Navy. A small number of mercenaries, including several from the famed "Wagner Group" have also join the Rebels' cause. They have erected formidable defenses, including a massive SAM net, a small blockade fleet, SCUD missiles, tanks, APCs, and a gun seemingly behind every door. Much of which, is thought to have been supplied by Iran. Following a bold SCUD missile attack on Al Dhafra AFB, the USS Harry S Truman and her strike group, CVSG-75; as well as her air wing, CVW-15, have been dispatched to the Gulf of Oman to deliver the first blow of the American counterattack.

Requires JDAMs in PP mode, AAR, and carrier night ops.

Free Carrier version coming June 29, 2023. Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated, new missions coming soon.
