Hi all,
Warning - spoilers!
I was doing the Wings of Retribution mission just now and I though it was a bit easy. I launched my B1 Lancers and Poseidons with Land-attack weapons at the start of the mission.
The missiles of the B1 have huge range and they were launched right after the planes were launched. The Poseidons were just as fast as the missiles and they kept flying along them until they too were in range. Fired the missiles and about 60 missiles were en route to the airfield. They hit 30 mins later and destroyed the airfield. Done deal. Had to swat a couple Tupolevs and fighters out of the sky, but lost no planes myself.
The northern airfield can be hit even easier; select the entire taskgroup and tell them to attack the airbase. 50 Tomahawks are launched and they impact 45 minutes later. I didn't even need to change the load on my F35s to Strike to hit the airfield.
I'm playing the game at normal difficulty, but I thought this was a bit too easy.
In the mission I lost 7 planes, some even due to bingo fuel.
Is the mission too easy or am I just great at Naval Warfare?
