1. Design tactics based on the Mission Risk Level and implement more aggressive (hence riskier) tactics as the risk level rises.
首先来说一下Mission Risk Level,其定义为"a commander's directive to subordinates to shape further planning and execution decisions that specifies what level of potential losses is acceptable in order to achieve mission objectives"。具体的分级由commander给出,在条例中对分级的规定也没有具体给出(例如AFTTP 3-1中只说了"mission commanders will have to determine their own risk level after careful consideration of mission objectives")。下表是某研究报告给出的定义:
NEGLIGIBLE No losses acceptable except those completely
unpredictable and unpreventable.
LOW Losses only at that expected for normal training or
peacetime attrition rates. Accept only favorable
engagements. Can withdraw at any time.
MEDIUM Losses expected at historical combat rates. Accept
neutral or disadvantageous engagements; aircraft
recovery higher priority than mission goal.
HIGH Expected losses may render unit unfit for further
combat. Accept major losses to achieve objective;
recover aircraft if able (no fuel morts).
EXTREME Losses may result in complete force annihilation.
Accept any losses necessary to accomplish mission;
aircraft recovery not an issue.
在游戏中你可以当你自己的commander,根据你的任务目标选择一种Mission Risk Level,并以此为限制来发展战术~~例如在1V1 TE中,如果你的任务目标是尽一切可能击落对方(Accept any losses necessary to accomplish mission),那么你可以使用Extreme Aggressive的战术,其攻击效能及对敌方的威胁程度相信也是最高的~~或者在打击具有重要战略价值的目标时可以提高Mission Risk Level~~
2. Propose tactics that will maximize F-16C offensive potential while satisfying the assigned risk level.
这就不用多说了,总要在当前Mission Risk Level的限制下制定出能发挥最大攻击效能的战术
常见质疑1:"Mission Risk Level is meaningless once people start shooting at you."
回应:"No argument here. Mission Risk Levels represent planning and execution guidelines. Use of them implies being able to influence the situation early through premission planning, proper force packaging and smart execution decisions. Once you're merged 1 versus 2 or last-ditching a SAM, it's all EXTREME risk; you do what you gotta do to survive."
常见质疑2:"I don't agree with your choice of tactics for a given Mission Risk Level."
回应:"Fine, design better ones! What's important is that we understand how varying degrees of Mission Risk Level will have an impact on how much we "hang it out" and that we don't regularly suffer more losses than a JFACC envisions for a particular risk level."
