That certainly was a major mistake of mine. Without knowing what Furby has at his base in Djibouti, it's not easy to tell what he is capable of. For all we know, the 'Djibouti Naval and Aerial Base' hypothetically could even just be a small port attached to several helipads.

Precisely,

But in order to answer one of your questions.

Travel speed of the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer of US navy is 37 km/h. Let's say that speed of Furby ships is similar.

Furby posted about ships leaving the port on 23 Jul, your post about the attack is from 27 Jul.

Thus the ships can be 3 500 km away from the port.

Flying at a constant top speed, the J-31 can go 2,200 km in one hour. It has a range of 2,000km (with external fuel tanks) which means refuelling aircraft can service it to reach 3,500km. If the shops are 3,500km away, then they have already overshot Basran by some distance. Thry would be within 400km+ of thr ship in less than 2 hours.

It's not easy if Furby has not stated any information at all about what he has. I have been making assumptions totally in the dark here.

This is why it is advised to ask questions before you act.

No refueling aircraft was send.

And those data are old, now it is 1 776

And if thats the case, Shaochuns planes would be there in less than a hour.

Basran wrote:Anyway, I am done arfuing about this, as everyone seems to be forgetting about Rule 1 of this place, As the OP, I'm saying the attack stands, and there is no realisticly plausible way that those 2 ships would be able to fend off all 45 hypersonic sea-skimming AShMs travelling at mach 3.5, they are both sunk, and that is final. The attack stands as it is. If Shaochun needs the oppourtunity to edit in a refuelling op to make it realistic, then so be it. The damage to the other ships is Furbys discression.

Its half done. I can complete it tomorrow, god willing. Jet lag is killing me, so its unlikely it will be up tonight.

Basran wrote:Alright guys I've hit a major snag irl and I am ordering a temporary pause of the RP until about Wednesday or Thursday (after Shaocun responds too) and thus that is when my post will be up. Sorry for the inconvenience. Hope you understand.

Shaochun wrote:FYI Furby, these planes aren't new, they just chased you down after your 3 ships tried to flee to Mumbai.

Though honestly though, you should have used your VTOLs, SAMs, radar and MANPADs when you first got attacked. It could have saved maybe a ship of yours. I'll be making a post in response in a moment.

Shaochun wrote:Could I just ask what those VTOLs were capable of, and what kind of missiles and MANPADs were fired and the methods of the missiles guidance.

FI military is inspired by US, thus I suppose VTOLs are F-35s and MANPADs are Stingers.

Yes, my military is inspired by the US, but I don't have US equipment. My military uses its own equipment. But the equipment is heavily based on the US's and it is slightly better. The 7 VTOL's do carry enough AA missiles to destroy most if not all the planes, and I doubt they have much chances of surviving with all the SAM's and MANPADS's firing at them.

Also Radimostan, the singlar form is MANPADS, not MANPAD. It stands for man portable air defense system.
