The purpose of this mission is to provide an immersive environment to practice weapons deployment. There are fixed targets with fixed variables so you can try different tactics and procedures (such as best HOF for CBUs, or best orbit slant range for instance).

 

You'll interact with a virtual STO who flies your left wing in an F5. There is radio chatter from a Red Flag recording, and F15s come in at some point to provide air cover.

 

You can fly this SP or MP. In SP there's an option to fly KA50 for SEAD then call in AI Hawgs to hit the targets. In MP Hawgs are given orders to hold WP2 until KA50s can SEAD (if clients are detected in KA50s). KA-50s will also find an unscheduled mission to hunt down some mobile targets while Hawg clients hit the primary and secondary objectives.

[StrongHarm]

I should also mention; you have an AI wingman that has a different loadout you can take over with RSH+J if you want to work with different weapons. Also, if you fly KA-50 in SP you can call in AI hawgs with F10 then take over the lead bird with the same key combo.

Good work, brother, will try it tomorrow.

 

Side note, at no time ought Hawgs and Sharks be doing SEAD/DEAD.

 

Not your fault when DCSW has no Vipers nor Bugs/Rhinos to fly.

Hey Mower! Thanks!

 

Agreed, but you have to admit that the Shark is more survivable than the Hawg at SEAD/DEAD. I could have just had some AI F-16s go in and prep the AO, but that wouldn't have been as fun. :)

[StrongHarm]

Try this one out yet Mower?

 

As to Blackshark being used for SEAD, it occured to me that the first U.S. aircraft to cross over the Iraqi border to SEAD the area for other sorties was....

 

AH-64 Apache
