Approach for attacking targets

[Witchking]

Hey guys,

 

I have flown EDs sims for decades, but still not too good. lol. End up for the most part just flying around, learning the systems etc.

 

Anyways... I am having trouble with the quick start A-10A CAP mission. The IFV BMP=2 tear me up for any gun runs. Its the two groups of 3 each which light up the sky... I try to home in from 2.0 nm down to 1.2 or 1.4 and then shoot. By then, one of those BMP-2s gets me.

 

What is the best approach? Any tips for gun running these things when they are in a group?

 

cheers

BMP's are a bit overpowered in DCS World. If you start shooting, when you are 2.0 miles away, they most likely won't hit you. A few quick bursts and then break away. Of course, it's harder to hit them from that distance.

Also you should have a 30 - 40 degree angle, comming in from very high.

Ya..its hard...2nm is the max range on the pipper...but at that distance hard to get direct hits and will waste a lot of ammo. 30-40 eh? I was coming in at over 70...and then too much speed to pull away...so end up going straight into their bullet stream. Good to know, will try it out. :) thanks,
