Well I just kept shooting the lead tanks, one pass and turn off target, south to adder and kept their progress hampered. It worked and now I'm on mission two :-) At last!!!!

Right, off to try it again and see if I can get to the next mission!

Do what you can is fine but I can't seem to advance beyond the first mission. Can anyone shed any tactics to be used on this one?

Well I virtually wiped out one column and flew around for a bit but still the mission success rate was only 50%. I can never seem to get it further than that. I was airbourne for over an hour. I think I'll play it again and just hit the lead tank each time and slowly work through it like that so that they do not advance. Do I need to be hitting each column at the same time or just the assigned one?

I just checked this mission out in the ME. Very interesting sifting through to see the conditions set by the advancing tanks and actually visualise where the staging areas are. I'm going to fly it again in invincible mode with unlimited MAVs to see if I can figure it out. In the flight, I see that the JTAC only assigns one of the two groups of tanks but in the ME it can assign both. Does this mean I need to check out after killing one lot and check in again to kill the other or is it just random which group of tanks I get assigned?

Hahahaha - good call!!!

Thanks for releasing the patch so quickly. It's good to see that the Devs are on top of things :-)

Apart from maybe me Widow!!!!

How do you get JTAC comms freq on fast missions? I just went into the mission editor of the generated mission and couldn't find a JTAC unit to get the freq from! Please help!!! :-)

Hahaha - I think I'll let you off this time mate ;-)

If you don't use labels then you'll force yourself to use all the other means necessary in order to find targets. SAMs are pretty dangerous though, but you can use a combination of RWR to give you the right bearing, turn onto that bearing and then just use TGP to scan out on that bearing. Turn away before the RWR symbol gets to within the inner circle of the RWR though otherwise you are in it's range and will most likely be going for a little parachute jump!!!

Isn't that exactly what I just wrote?

I can ID targets fairly far away with the TGP, Zoom it in in EXP mode and you should be able to see them with no prob.

I did it in the profile editor 0-10% = Zoom in, 90-100% = Zoom out, 10-90% = do nothing. Works perfectly for me.

If you lock up a traget and press the JTAC "contact" option on the comms menu then JTAC will tell you whether you have the correct target.

Delete any folder associated with the Beta 4. New folders will be created. The Beta 4 stuff needs to go, unless you have saved missions etc that you want to carry over.

The JTAC info does come through if you set your gp ID and own ID to 01.

Hahaha - thought so :( :megalol::megalol::megalol:

My bad on the laser bit - RTFM and got that bit sorted!!! I just thought it was porked. Are the preset radios still porked also or am I going to get flamed for that too?

It's a known issue

My first impressions are that a lot more work needs to be done for this to be a final release. Too many things are not right yet. Missions don't work properly, data linking is non existant, laser seems to be porked, apart from manual lasing that is. I'll list more as I go along but I've only flown it twice and that's what I've found so far.

Just flew Devils Cross 01 and fired off 6 MAVS, got 5 kills and wingy got 4 but was loitering a bit too much. JTAC called us off after I called in attack complete. Landed and got no score and 50% mission success. I though these missions would have been sorted for the final release. How wrong I was. Highlighting the lack of data sent by JTAC, it would have been a lot easier to find the targets if I had a working d/l. I tried to see what mission I get next and straight into the same first mission again. I didn't do anything wrong. The mission is porked for sure!

Use F10 to look at the map of the airbase. Also, ATC will tell you which end of the runway to taxi to, ie, runway 230.

Hooray!!!! D/ling via torrent!!! I'll keep it seeding once I've done :-)

TMS down will ground stabilise the mav seaker head. But you can use the TGT Pod to find the tgt, then slew the mav seaker to the spi from the TGT Pod. Then keep pressing TMS up till you get a lock then shoot.
