The doctrine/task limits were capturing a reasonable average for the era, but it did a bad job for cases like the Harrier vs the Hornet, which perform similar missions but have drastically different max ranges. It also forced us into limiting CAS missions (even those flown by long range aircraft like the A-10) to 50nm since helicopters could commonly be fragged to them. This should allow us to design campaigns without needing airfields to be a max of ~50-100nm apart.

description:
|
|
The Lockheed S-3 Viking is a 4-crew, twin-engine turbofan-powered jet
|
|
aircraft that was used by the U.S. Navy (USN) primarily for anti-submarine warfare.
|
|
In the late 1990s, the S-3B's mission focus shifted to surface warfare and aerial
|
|
refueling. The Viking also provided electronic warfare and surface surveillance
|
|
capabilities to a carrier battle group. A carrier-based, subsonic, all-weather,
|
|
long-range, multi-mission aircraft, it carried automated weapon systems and was
|
|
capable of extended missions with in-flight refueling. Because of its characteristic
|
|
sound, it was nicknamed the "War Hoover" after the vacuum cleaner brand. The S-3
|
|
was phased out from front-line fleet service aboard aircraft carriers in January
|
|
2009, with its missions taken over by aircraft like the P-3C Orion, P-8 Poseidon,
|
|
Sikorsky SH-60 Seahawk and Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet
