Question about stock SU-25T campaign

[Apache600]

Hey guys,

So i've been doing the SU-25T campaign, and it constantly cycles between 2 missions. The first mission has you fly to take out the two lines of defense at the beginning of the two small towns, and the second is pushing back the enemy just a couple clicks away from your base, along the coastline.

.... how the heck do I progress? Do you have to destroy EVERYTHING that's blue on the "F10" map?

Do you know the mission names? One way to find out is to go into the mission planner before flying and look at the bottom left of the screen.

I was in your position not too long ago, Apache600. The first mission you describe is actually two missions that look mostly the same, and you could draw one or the other; you have to read the briefings to notice the difference. In one, the objective is to fly out to a waypoint inside enemy lines for recon. Do that, and you'll get winning results regardless of what you kill. In the other, you have to take out the two lines of defense you mention, and many of the enemies beyond them. You must protect the advancing friendlies, and you lose points if they die.

 

Make sure you go to the mission planner and change your loadout if you haven't. Get rid of the unguided bombs. Cycle the laser between Vikhr shots and you can fire them more frequently.

 

Keep in mind that this campaign is unrealistic and absurdly difficult for the Su-25T. I believe it's a campaign that was made for the Ka-50 and hastily repurposed. You will never see all the enemies shooting at you. The AI wingman is nearly useless, and the ground friendlies will get their stupid selves killed and lose the mission for you repeatedly. If you try to play all the way through this campaign in the Su-25T, you'll be screwed out of hard-fought victory again and again and again along the way. Happy hunting!
