RocketmanAL Posted December 24, 2018 Posted December 24, 2018 So I've been replaying this campaign again and thoroughly enjoy it. Lots of creative missions and top-notch attention to detail. However, I've come again to the mission that caused me to quit playing the campaign originally. That would be the 7th mission of the MIG campaign. Originally it was the AAA and MANPADS that caused me so much frustration that I quit. It takes so long to get to the target area that I got to frustrated with it. This time around I've learned to stay away from those, but now the helos are wrecking me with some Battlefield 4-esque plays. There is one helo that seems to always know when I'm coming in to attack him. Even if I come in from 500m above and behind he always turns around and pitches to look right at me. Then the gunner smacks me with the first burst of cannon from the chaingun and either kills or disables me. Being in VR doesn't help because I can't tell which way he is pointed until he starts shooting. I've tried about 5 times now and haven't figured out a way to get him down without him shooting me first. So I'm not sure if I'm coming here to ask for tips, or nerf, or what really. I'm just frustrated and don't want to do that long flight again without a solid game plan. I've tried coming in behind, from the side, from above, from below. I can't think of much else. Anyone else have trouble with this and come up with a successful plan.
AeriaGloria Posted December 25, 2018 Posted December 25, 2018 Like you I learned to attach above and behind. But some AI as you said will pitch up, I just tried to fly as high as possible, dive in with air brakes on. I’ve never seen them shoot more than 30 degrees up maybe 45, but they sure can’t shoot straight up. Helos in a hover also have trouble yawing left compared to right, so maybe egress the area with a left bank. I know “go higher” isn’t the best advice but it’s what I did until I was high enough to finish the mission Black Shark Den Squadron Member: We are open to new recruits, click here to check us out or apply to join! https://blacksharkden.com
RocketmanAL Posted December 28, 2018 Author Posted December 28, 2018 I did finally manage to get through this mission. I had to be extra patient to let the helos get a committed course before I came in behind them. Very fun mission afterwards!

Apache600 Posted December 28, 2018 Posted December 28, 2018 These Helo's have become more and more aggressive since the initial release of the campaign. The diving attack as stated above is the best advice. If you try and sneak up on them from the side, but see that they're turning to face you, ABANDON that attack, they'll certainly tag you in the face. Alternatively: If you ignore them long enough, I have it so they'll eventually be taken out by friendly forces. Killing them is not a "mission success" criteria.

Apache600 Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 Haha, they must be! No fear, and crack shots [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] The Museum Relic Campaign: --> http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=164322 Community Missions (SP & MP) --> https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=205546
