This is an immersive, single or co-op mission in the Strait of Hormuz, flying an F-18 or F-16, and a preview of my upcoming campaign - A Standoff in the Strait of Hormuz. In an attempt to raise oil prices to force the west to broker peace between Israel and Iran, Iran has been attacking oil interests in the Strait. You are part of a multinational taskforce to protect the Strait and have been asked to aid a tanker in the process of being seized. You'll perform a show of force, which will fail, culminating in eventual hostilities and Iranian interceptors being launched against you. You'll face in-the-moment decisions that will dictate if the mission ends peacefully, or if it ignites a regional conflict, and is the first mission of my upcoming campaign. This mission has several radio cues, A2G objectives, and A2A objectives.
