A-10C SEAD vs SA-11 - ill-advised but possible.

[Sgt_Baker]

Hi folks,

 

Just thought I'd share this track. When I'm testing software, sometimes I get carries away and start blowing stuff up. Here's a track of my AI wingman and I taking out a whole SA-11 battery.

 

The recipe:

 

1) Leave your wingman WELL outside the SA-11's engagement envelope. As soon as the battery starts shooting at him, he'll go Engaged, Defensive, drop all his weapons and do something silly like fly in to the ground. (AI - Almost Intelligent)

 

2) Plan your attack. Note cover from terrain etc.

 

3) Take out the SA-11's search radar. In this track I accidentally take out the command vehicle first, then come back for the search radar.

 

4) Once the radar is down, make sure you still have the attention of all the SA-11 TELs. Without their search radar, they can't see what's coming from behind, but still want to shoot at you.

 

5) Have your wingman take out the TELs from the opposite direction to that which the TELs are pointing. They have no idea what's coming.

 

:)
