ground attack

[drawback]

hi all,

Im new to lock on and these forums and i was just wondering if you ever get to attack fixed positions such as bunkers or bulidings. So far ive only been attacking convoys.

thanks in advance

[AKULA_OPTIMUS]

Hmm what version of the game do you have?

 

In the 1.02 you can only put vehicles and ships, but on the 1.1 (1.12a now), you can put buildings, like bunkers, radio stations, houses, tanks...............

[drawback]

i have 1.12a, will i get to attack these in the campaign or will i have to create my own missions?

thanks

[AKULA_OPTIMUS]

Yes, of course you can put them by yourself:thumbup: .

 

In the mission editor select static objet, and then buildings. If you want to know how they are, just go to the encyclopedia and click on the button with the bridge.

 

Hope it helps:smartass: .

thanks that helps a lot and thanks for the quick reply. Air to air combat is too hard for me so im sticking to ground attack to get used to the game was just looking for some more targets :)

......was just looking for some more targets :)

Check out the Caucasus Tour, it shows you a bunch of power stations, bridges, oil facilities, etc that you can set up as targets in your own air to ground missions.

I've some 1.1x missions that have buildings placed but an A-10 Mission called "Mountain Pass 757" specificly targets them,

 

It's a mission that targets a variety of new buildings and targets that came out with the Flaming Cliffs add-on. Based on a mission in "Hold Back the AEF" for the Su-25T. There were ammo depots,watch-towers, barracks, HQs, and pill-boxes as targets

thanks for all the replies guys!

Just another question how do i know if a missile has been fired at me? I know the tone changes when im being tracked then locked onto, but i never know when a missile has been fired until i fell a thud and my plane going down in flames.

[AKULA_OPTIMUS]

Hmmmm, ironhand has a fabolous site with tutorials, I learned how to avoid missiles with them.

 

Must have page:thumbup: :

Sometimes there is no launch tone, for example if the missile is IR-guided. You will learn to HATE Strelas, Iglas, Avengers, etc . . . :cry:

Many of Ironhands tutorials are now movies so you can just watch them in your favorite MediaPlayer.

This gets around the problem of Lockon tracks being quite sensitive to being replayed on the same version of Lockon that they were made on.

thanks all, ive just watched two of the training films, the strela hunt and outmaneouvering sams. Now i just have to practice, practice and more practice!

one last question, when ive been hit which is normally every sortie is there anyway to turn the damage message things off?

thanks in advance

SHIFT-N. Each press turns off one warning. If you have multiple warnings, you have to press it once for each.

[Maulkin]

I think "SHIFT+N" is the default key combo to turn off a warning. But keep in mind it will only turn off one warning. You will likely have to hammer that key combo a number of times to turn them all off.

 

EDIT: bah Ironhand beat me by one minute! ;)

thanks for the quick replies guys! and thank you ironhand for your training videos!
