Hi Guys,
I know I'm way behind the general user level here, as I'm still getting proficient in the Su-25T instead of flying in a squadron or lusting over Black Shark. I only discoved LO:FC about six months ago, and have gotten quite capable in the A-10A. However, I figured that FC is really about the Su-25T, so I might as well take advantage of that. I've found this to be an extremely interesting and challenging aircraft.
Right now I'm starting into the first Su-25T campaign (not the FC campaign- the one with the "environmentalists"). The second mission has you attacking two warships while being chased by two Su-25s. It's a good if tough mission in the sense of fighting the two lightly loaded Su-25s in a heavily laden Su-25T in poor vis at low level. After honing some split second reactions and getting used to maneuvering on instruments at the edge of an accelerated stall, I can shoot down the Su-25s.
But the ships are another matter. With the light rockets loaded on the mission, I can unload a whole launcher worth into a ship with no apparent effect. The AAA is so intense that I usually loose an engine on any given pass, which sort of limits things to one pass!
Any tactical tips that make sinking the ships with the S-8s possible?
