Part 14: Operation Red Afternoon: Turn 2

Operation Red Afternoon: Turn 2



One of our T-80's has the clever idea of firing at the Cobra as it passes, which reveals it to the enemy (occasionally there are units that are concealed, but not hidden from the enemy, and firing a weapon will reveal that unit).




This allows the pair of gunships to score two mobility kills (one on a T-80 and one on a T-80B).



One of our BTR-40's is also destroyed (the first unit loss of the match).

I'm very unsure about what to do in this situation. I have a suspicion that our Krug Missiles are only good for jet aircraft and not for much else. Fortunately, our Strela Missile systems should have enough of a range to hold off the threat. Also, Anti-Tank Guided Missiles will have a decent chance of hitting them, with the added bonus that an ATGM will completely vaporise a lightly armoured target.

I'm going to be very blunt; whether or not we can fend of these helicopters is probably going to decide the entire match within the first five turns.

On another note, I haven't received a lot of feedback on the second topic proposal. I'm going to need a few comments before I make a final decision on the matter.
