I am having some trouble in some of the campaign missions with SAM's. JTAC gives approximate locations of air defenses around the target area, but this is completely useless since even if you could find the SAM sites with a Maverick the range is too short to get a shot off before multiple missles are inbound for your aircraft. It also seems like they never miss, put the SAM at 3 oclock and then executing a tight descending turn while popping chaff and flares never works, I am constantly getting hit by these things. How do you handle this type of scenario? I havent looked to see if the A-10 can carry the AGM-88 HARM, this seems like the only counter to these SA-11 and SA-8 sites. Suggestions?

If anyone here is even semi-serious about combat flight sims then you have to have played at least some iteration of Falcon4 at one point. If there is a better campaign engine out there I haven't seen it, and I have seen them all. The most digusting thing about this is that campaign engine is over, way over, a decade old. A completely dynamic campaign were everything happens in real time regardless if you are flying or not? Absolutely brilliant, nothing surpasses it to this day, kind of sad considering how good A-10C is that the campaign system is something out of Ace Combat. Maybe someday some developer will stop being lazy and give us an updated version of the Falcon4 campaign engine, hopefully it is ED.

Yeah, I'm running a 5770 and see strange graphical flickering on FARP heli pads. This isnt hardware related I dont think, just a bad texture somewhere.
