Squadron Status vs Sorties Fragging

Generality

The relation between Squadron Status vs Sorties Fragging is simple but contains a trick :

• HQ will frag New Sorties until the Available Aircraft in squadron is down to 0

• When the aircraft number is down to 0, Planned Sorties will continue to be launched (regardless of the actual reported Aircraft remaining in Squadron)

As consequences, for a given Squadron :

• Temporal Gap

• There will be a temporal gap between

  • The moment there is no more Aircraft

  • and the moment no more Aircraft will Take Off

• Stopping Sorties

• The best way to stop air activity is to "close" the Airbase by destroying it Runways

  • or you have to wait for complete squadron attrition = No more Aircraft available + No more Sorties fragged
