But, if on Dec 1941 you had two strike eagles.
Only two. Your sortie arrived at the Japanese fleet
about the time 1/2 of the first wave was launched.

what would your weapon load be?

Not really sure what the weapons load out of an F-15E can be but I would load
enough air to surface missiles to put two killing shots into every carrier from
a distance that leaves me invulnerable to AAA return fire. If I can still carry
air to air missiles then as many of them as possible.

Given the choice of weapons above, what would your tactics be to
maximize damage to the carrier fleet and prevent as many planes
as possible from reaching Pearl.

I would kill every carrier before they can finish launching the first wave
strikes. Then I would go warp 9 till I caught the strike group and start
killing the leaders with Sparrows or Sidewinders. (Assuming the Sidewinder can
pick up a heat signature from an early 20th century recip aircraft.) Then use
my Vulcan 20mm using as short a burst as possible in order to kill as many of
the survivors as possible.

But when your out of munitions, what other tactics could you use?

High speed passes with pull ups in full burner that will swat the Japanese
aircraft out of the air. The Isralis used this tactic against helicopters in
1973.

At the same time I am screaming as loudly as possible to the Army and Navy
commands on Oahu that the Japanese are coming.
