Maple Missions: Tactical Campaign: CAS/DAY

[cfarsr]

I can see the direction on this mission and what we're supposed to do but as Recon Stewart has pointed out, it seems some of the support units aren't responding to F10 radio calls which begs a few questions.

 

1. How do we get the other units (not our flight) to go to a specific target? Do we have to change the group number in the TAD page to whom ever we want to strike a particular target?

 

2. How do we know who we are selecting in the TAD then who to make the corresponding radio call out to?

 

3. How many TIC calls are there in this mission? I cheated and was plugging in MGRS numbers that I saved from before while en route and still could only take care of 3 of the TIC calls. When I thought I was safe after finishing up the third, a fourth came out.

 

4. A 45 minute VUL is pretty quick to take care of all of these targets. Do we need to address the normal JTAC calls or do we pass this after addressing only the TIC calls?

 

Thanks again,

On attempt 5 I realized that the TIC calls started to come in at 0620 which is when we're told to be on station 'by' (instead of 'at' 0620 I believe). When I get another chance I'm going to try and get on station at 0620 which should trigger the 45 minute VUL clock set by Maple at a geographical spot near Bravo and the trigger to start attacking TIC targets.

 

I was getting to the VUL trigger at 0605 which was taking 15 minutes of attack time away from me to attack the TIC targets.

For anyone stuck on this, the 19th mission, its critical to be on station at the specified time. Where as most of the other missions it didn't amount to much, being at Bravo at 0620 gives you the time necessary to take care of all the targets.

 

- Ignore JTAC and wait for calls through the F10 menu

- It's possible to use only yourself and your flight of A10's to do this. Be resourceful

 

Still leaves one question. How do we know which flight on the TAD is which callsign?
