paulca Posted March 25, 2016 Posted March 25, 2016 So I was doing "Minebusters" tonight. Seemed like a simple enough affair. Quite a long flight in to the target area, but I like that and can always use accelerated time if I need to. Climbed all the way to 20,000ft and figured I could just orbit over the target and take my time. MANPADs don't reach 20,000ft. Emm... wrong apparently. No warning, no missile launch alarm, no wingman call, just BANG, no engines. In anger I carefully steered the broken plane straight down on top of the MANPAD as I ejected. Got him and his buddies too! So... back to square one. Relaunched the mission and managed to kill all the required targets and polished off the remaining few trucks. Headed home. Told my wingman to RTB and then dropped in as his 2. Followed him for a nice formation landing. Only.... he slammed the brakes on as soon as his hit the tarmac, I went a little long and straight into the back of him with all 3 wheels screeching. So... guess what I will be doing tomorrow... again.
baltic_dragon Posted March 26, 2016 Posted March 26, 2016 I love AARs like this. Don't get me wrong, not because you have been shot down (alright, for that reason too, but as Yurgon and others stated someplace else, a dominating feat of my personality is cruelty), but just seeing that you are havig fun with the campaign. As for your first adventure: The smart CLA bastards placed their MANPAD at the highest ground in the area. And on top of that it is a Stinger stolen few days earlier from the Georgians, not the usual Igla :) Nice how you handled it, though, steering the plane into them :thumbup: For more information, please visit my website.
