Ven Posted June 1, 2007 Posted June 1, 2007 For the life of me, I can't find a way to utilize my wingman in any of the A10 missions. For example, I think it's mission 4 of the default A10 campaign. I'm trying to take out the SAM's first but I don't have enough mavericks to take them all out myself. And especially with those IR SAMs shooting down my mavs (how is that possible by the way?), I was hoping to use my wingman. First, I tried targeting the SAM's with my mavericks and tell wingman to "engage my target" I get no response. I remember seeing Ironhand's tutorial where he assigned targets for his wingman using CCIP mode so I tried that. This time he responds but he goes after SAM using unguided bombs. Suicidal of course. I tried the "engage air defenses" command. He goes after the long range SAM ignoring the Iglas under his belly. Probably he only goes after the ones showing up on RWR. And if he somehow survives it, he rejoins formation but I see ALL of his weapons gone after taking out 1 SAM. Including the MK20's. At the mission debriefing, I didn't see him taking out any other targets so... he just jettisoned all munitions? I tried "engage ground targets" command, he goes straight for the primary target ignoring all the defenses. I've heard that the AI in LOMAC are stupid but I can't utilize my wingman for anything. Do you guys just put up with this or am I missing something?

VapoR Posted June 1, 2007 Posted June 1, 2007 I prefer live wingmen myself. +1 Only way to truly get a decent wingman experience in this sim (or most other sims too).
hitman Posted June 1, 2007 Posted June 1, 2007 Its tricky and I usually just shoot him down on take off anyways.
Grimes Posted June 1, 2007 Posted June 1, 2007 Your gonna have to double tap some sam sites, they have a nasty habit of being able to shoot down your missiles. Also the AI have a tendency to drop all of their munitions in an effort to better dodge the incoming enemy missile. The right man in the wrong place makes all the difference in the world.

Ven Posted June 1, 2007 Author Posted June 1, 2007 So I guess the short answer is to just put up with it...
Ven Posted June 2, 2007 Author Posted June 2, 2007 Well, you said stay high for Iglas and stay low for Strelas. What to do when there are multiples of both? Plus some Tunguskas... or however they're spelled. Against 1 SAM is a piece of cake. Against multiples, I'm too big of a wuss to dive in so I toss the mavericks just outside of the danger area. But those SAMs accuracy on mavericks are quite striking. And by the way, that was a long answer!! But I appreciate it nontheless.
