It should be an interesting contrast between the B-52 bombing and the wyvern bombing.

Their northern flank hasn't even fully entered the main zone of resistance yet, and their southern flank is moving slower...and they've already sustained 10% casualties.The Vortex Empire wrote:As usual, I almost feel sorry for the Baldricks.

What's a PI? (I'm assuming you're not referring to private investigators.) And how did they contribute to the Tornados' losses? By mistakingly thinking the targeted airfields weren't damaged to the point they couldn't be used, and ordering the RAF pilots to launch another attack on them? By not coordinating USAF attacks with the RAF, leading to midair collisions and/or friendly fire incidents?JN1 wrote:It seems that some of the RAF Tornados lost in '91 during airfield attacks were due to USAF PIs marking the bomblet damage as 'strafing' and tasking a re-attack.

Almost certainly. I believe it's already been hinted at in the story.Wyrm wrote:Lady Gray? Can I expect carpet bombing?
A PI is an RAF term for a Photographic Interpreter - the guys who work out what the pics show. Not sure what the USAF calls them.Sidewinder wrote:What's a PI?

Radar at that intensity would screw up humans, probably worse than the demons; microwaves at high enough intensity will simply cook you.Eulogy wrote:If radar screws up harpies like that, imagine what it's already doing to the naga.
Detroit does not have 2000 narrow-scan radars focused on it, and even if it did, they couldn't affect demons back in hell unless a portal is already open.Looks like Detroit won't be taking much damage if the naga are that bothered by radar;
What I was about to say; "Fellow" is a euphemism I saw first in a children's book on airplanes ostensibly wishing to avoid inflicting such a horror on a child's fragile mind, or more likely the backlash from that child's parents after they find out where their kid picked up such language.Agent Fisher wrote:BUFF really stands for Big Ugly Fat Fucker

D-21 122mm? AFAIK, no such thing. Do you mean the classic/ superb D-30?This particular battalion had guns that were an odd hybrid, old D-21 122mm
