Hello all,
First things first: Mirknir, thank you for all the work you have done creating this! I am still relatively new to DCS (but not flight sims), and hopped on this server last night. I had a fantastic time just puttering around in my SU-25T looking for things to shoot. It's so much more fun knowing the MIG I am taxiing behind is a real player instead of AI.
I figured out to type -ag into chat to get a list of ground targets available, took off, headed to the objective, and searched for 30-45 minutes for a valley artillery station and could not for the life of me find it. Unsure as to whether I am looking for an outpost, an artillery convoy, or stationary arty vehicles, I finally had to RTB, defeated
Next I chose to hit an oil field instead (which I figured should be much easier to spot). Got to the objective area and rained hell down on some offshore platforms, and the objective bar went down by one bar, so I am assuming I was successful?
A few questions: How do I access SEAD (Anti-AAA), and convoy objectives? -ag seems to only give me ground installation targets. Also, are there pictures of the objectives anywhere so I can get a better idea of what exactly I am looking for? What do the objective bars actually mean? I took out the only two oil platforms in the area, but I only reduced the number of bars by one. I'm sure I'll have more questions, but getting these answered would be great for now.
It seems like I am probably missing a lot of features, and I cannot find anything comprehensive. I have been watching a lot of YouTube videos, but they tend to just show the action parts. Is there any kind of a guide available for newcomers? Hopefully some of you veterans can enlighten me.
Thanks! If you see an SU-25T flying around that looks it's barely staying airborne, it's probably me.
