Default A-10C campaign problems

[McBlemmen]

Hello

 

I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to do the A-10 campaign (with CA)

 

I'm currently on the first mission ... well , the first combat mission (CA Push 1-1). I have to protect 2 tank groups , Razor and Elm and have them move into Kobuleti.

 

However , right now it just seems like what this mission REALLY is is "Kill everything in sight , then wait as the tanks move trough the town that you've cleared"

 

I mean these guys seem to die to just about everything , from a single russian tank that somehow takes out a 4-tank group , to my guys randomly exploding when colliding with a bridge.... I would also expect them to say something like "taking fire!" when getting shot at. I am providing CAS after all... right now it just feels more like target practise then actually CAS. (Yes i know i can talk to JTAC but he can't see every enemy either) That's probably becouse of the nature of the DCS mission editor (gief dynamic campaigns <3)

 

 

Also , the scripted AI flights you can call in , like the SEAD cover , CAP and CAS , don't do anything when i call them in. I do not get a radio message confirming i've called them when i use the f10 options , and i cannot assign them targets manually since i can only see 2 groups on the map , right near the edge of town (even though my units have line of sight on hostiles , they do not appear on the F10 map)

 

In my "f10 view" settings i have "fog of war" ticked.

 

I dont know if this has any effect on it , but i have edited the missions to have a playable second A-10 and am playing it trough with him.

 

Does anyone maybe know of any really good A-10 co op missions/campaigns that aren't too hard? I'm at the level where i understand pretty much all the systems , but my wingman is pretty new... probably less then 24 flight hours.

 

Thanks in advance.

Good mission for A-10c, easy to hard, I would get the Dragons training and missions Pack, I will attach some corrected mission (Sorry but uploads not working) with this post, as originals most probably will not work correctly with current DCSW due to issues described below.

******************

Just let you know that DCS 1.2.10 has serious issues with its missions at the moment, which will be affecting nearly all missions.

 

JTAC - seems to have problems with line of sight, using the roving camera I have positioned myself in mission at jtac position, can easly see enemy target and with in range, but when call jtac to call out enemy he reponds no target, if change mission to not use LOS he works fine, but with no mark capablily.

 

JTAC - All callsigns and frequences for targets in all mission got reset to the one default - Axeman 133 am, stuffing mission.

 

Vehicles - Bridges are a real problem, vehicles will get stuck on bridges, particularly any bridge going over train tracks, they look super magnetic and any vehicle going underneath them is then sucked up onto the top of the bridge were it will stay all mission, so tank columns and convoys will not do there assigned routes stuffing mission.

 

General Missions - Have come across some groups of vehicles, aircraft, infanty set to late starts and activated later in mission, seem to have the "Late activation" reset to false, so all of these groups now start at mission start, ruining the mission.

 

Complex missions are totally screwed because of these bugs.
