For the sake of argument, let's say we have a satellite photo of the target area :)

I've got one! When doing a pop-up attack with drop munitions, how do you acquire a target in the short amount of time that you have? I guess mark points would be good if one could see the target area before running in. But let's say it's mountaineous terrain and we have no idea what to expect.

I don't get it... The meaning of "russian jet" seems to be limited to only Su-27/MiG-29 and it's various versions in these threads. As of now we still only have one western jet and one eastern helicopter, apart from the Mustang. The MiG-21 will probably be the next finished jet, which is russian, and other than that it'll be a long time until we see ANY of the western jets currently in development.

Useless response: use your stand-off range! ;)

The targets at Patrol WP are static WildBill... As for the effectiveness, I have no idea. I tried taking out the first two trucks with rockets, but other than very nice explosions, those were utter shit too :)

Terrific book! I recommend the one about the Strike Eagles as well if you haven't already picked it up. :)

I usually apply trim while holding my stick backwards, decreasing the collective... Forward pressure + trim makes the heli wanna move. But do whatever works for you.

The very definition of a flying wing?

That is a sweet picture! Shopped?

There are some videos in my channel of entire missions: http://www.twitch.tv/juclecia If conditions allow I fly it as a weapons platform, slow and trying to use my stand-off range capability. The one with Tianeti has a "dynamic" battlefield, was the first time I played it and I had no idea what to expect so it might be of some value. Two hours so you might wanna skip ahead some parts :)

It's designed to take a good beating. There were numerous incidents during the first gulf (and second) war where the A-10's came home missing parts of their structures. But since implementing a way to determine each possible scenario with part of a wing missing is impossible, this is realistic enough :) Well, unlike the A-10 the F-15 is essentially a flying wing from the start ;)

So by watching a simple fun and highly unrealistic clip (of A-10's on a carrier?) you thought this might not be the good simulator you expect it to be? :p Now, this might scare you a little... You can't collide with trees in this sim. :music_whistling: In all seriousness though, this is one the best simulators you can get :)

Is that from when your trusty wingman went full stupid and flew right into you, like mine? :doh:

I can't get past Mission #3, the one with the infantry holding people hostage in a house. I kill all of them (17) and land back at Gali but nothing happens. Did this twice now.

I got surprised of how fast they were ambushed but after I got that encounter sorted it went kind of smooth. Forgot my laser on though so it became useless and after the artillery encounter I had to fight the rest of the mission using my wingman :) It got pretty intense when all vihkrs were out and the tanks kept coming! And those Mi-24 did a good job too. http://www.twitch.tv/juclecia/b/317643257

Nice easy mission!

Is it impossible to destroy the bunker when dropping the GBU-12 in pairs? They hit the bunker but it still stood there laughing at me. Also, when I hovered at waypoint 1 nothing happend... There was some speech (said something that ended with "over" but there was no way to respond to that) so at 23:27 I got bored and went AWOL. Can anyone point me in the right direction on what to actually do? I don't quite understand the briefing...

On-T though, very nice pictures of the pony!

The A-10 is a fat lady and if you handle her gently she will be your fortress of death that no one but fighters can touch :)

Ty ty! :smartass:

While we're at it, I can't remember what the the "Type 1, 2 or 3 in effect" mean. Enlighten me? :)

That was a fast stop! I always thought the rotors would break if one did such a manouver... Probably because of all those times they've snapped when simply trimming :cry:

Thanks for this! :D

Could also uncage the Sidewinders, using the china hat in some direction... Can't remember, haven't played in a while 'cause I got stuck in BS2 :D When uncaging the Sidewinder it scans the surroundings by itself, which in some cases can help locate targets.
