Tactical Playbook: the SEAD mission

Series of simple scenarios detailing Suppression of Enemy Air Defense tactics throughout history.

The need for SEAD!

Early version of the SEAD mission with the limited means of the time. Wild weasel missions were launched to provoke SAM sites into activating to then be targeted by anti-radiation missiles.
No ECM availability, expect SAM to push your aircraft loz into deadly AAA traps.

First evolution of the SEAD mission with the arrival of ECM capabilities and precision guided munitions. All the while the enemy also evolves with newer SAM systems and new fighter aircraft ambushes.

On the day after the revolution, US forces move to take back the valuable F-14s preventing any risk they end up in soviet hands. You’ll be going up against a unique mix of NATO/Soviet air defense systems.

As the revolution unfolds, Soviet forces see an opportunity to raid and seize some valuable US-made technology..

Inspired by the historical events, this scenario features a LHA based harrier wing go against a more substancial force then was present historically.

Modern SEAD strike against a modern soviet built air defense disposition. Inspired by historical facts but largely simplified.

Tackle the latest tech in the soviet AA arsenal, in a disposition recreated as close as possible to reality.

• Focus on game performance with smaller scale engagements and simple mechanics.
• Still some issues on the latest patch, notably the land-based AShM launchers are indestructible.
