Gnabbla Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) Hey guys, is there anybody who did the air to air practise mission which is part of the instant action category without labels and such? And if so, do you might hav a video or do you know already an exisiting one? Beside the fact that it's pretty hard for me to see my oponent (Thx to the big Gunsight. Luckily you can dismount your gunsight and try to aim the missile seaker without a crossair) And except the fact that you need to be under 2G to fire the missile it's almost impossible for me to get any tone. Except when flying into the sun or maybe shoot down some bombers. So how do you do it? I'm bleeding a lot of energy when I try to get behind my opponent and also I need to pull more G's when closing in while doing a turn fight. Maybe it's me or the AI Flightmodel (probably both) but at some point I'll start to stall or need to trade some altitude in exchange. But even when I hav the feeling (which is rare by the way) that I'm just < 100 Meters behind him and my Nose is straight directly aimed on his back, without pulling any G's, I can't get a lock/tone) Sry for my english guys. I'm not a native speaker. Edited January 11, 2016 by Gnabbla
OnlyforDCS Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 I hope someone here can help you because Ive been at this mission for a while now and for the life of me I can't shoot that AI bugger down. Current specs: Windows 10 Home 64bit, i5-9600K @ 3.7 Ghz, 32GB DDR4 RAM, 1TB Samsung EVO 860 M.2 SSD, GAINWARD RTX2060 6GB, Oculus Rift S, MS FFB2 Sidewinder + Warthog Throttle Quadrant, Saitek Pro rudder pedals.
Gnabbla Posted January 13, 2016 Author Posted January 13, 2016 Agree and thanks for the answer. So is there anybody out there who did this mission and might give us at least a hint?
King_Hrothgar Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 In 2.0, go behind the C-130, fly in a straight line and shoot. In 1.5, I haven't had any success yet. The restrictions on the missiles make shooting an evasive target basically impossible. The only thought I have on this is to extend outside the AI's aggro range and then try to sneak up from behind and fire before he reacts. It worked for me in an L-39 vs Hawk mission I made, so I assume it would work in this one too but I haven't tested it.
Gnabbla Posted January 13, 2016 Author Posted January 13, 2016 The mission starts head on head with the enemy opponent in a L-39 probably less then 8 seconds away of a merge. Sometimes you'll even recieve a missile hit within the first seconds of the mission when he's flying straight in your direction
