Newbie first ME mission

[kenpoh]

Hi, i just start to create my first ME mission learning from some you tube tutorials , i set up my hornet and 3 AI F-18c in my side and 2 AAA, 2 sam sa-10 group on the other side ,set out trigger zone ( i.e. in waypoint 4 ) ,setup AI Tast to attack unit inside zone, weather and everything i learn from the video and began to test fly, but when i fly inside trigger zone in waypoint 4 the AI wingman is not performing their task and ican't see any respond from my target.. no target lock in DDI , what am i missing ? best regards ....

 

P/S; how can we place a static plane inside a airbase hanger ? i tried but they end up hanging on the roof..LOL

Post the miz file so we can take a look.

 

For the static planes, I'd suggest placing actual units in the parking spaces but turning off their AI.

Are you sure you want to attack anything defended by 2(!) x SA-10 long range SAMs?

I mean in real life these systems are usually not stacked in the same area...

I guess you try a SEAD task or something, but without the MIZ- file or at least some details it is impossible to see what's wrong...

Against SA-10, the most bad ass SAM available in DCS? I recommend a fleet or B-52 bomber flight which launches more than 12 cruise missiles (Tomahawks) or a SEAD package with the same amount of HARMs. Or flying a helicopter (Ka-50) lower than the SA-10s minimum engagement height of about 10m AGL and take it out with vikhrs in the night. Alternatively a plane with high drag bombs and flying terrain masking, may work...

For a first mission and training against SAM you can either "deactivate" the (realistic) feature of engaging missiles in the Mission Editor (advanced waypoint options "engage missiles"), or what I recommend, start with something less lethal. ;) ...maybe an SA-2, SA-3 or a SA-6? If you absolutely want some adrenaline rush, make a visual confirmation that it's a hostile SAM site and not some farm trucks. Basically, wait for a launch and see where the missile comes from. Than evade and attack in a second pass.

 

To deactivate AI. Set a plane or flight of planes to "start from parking" and then check the "uncontrolled" checkbox.

Encyclopedia in Game. Wikipedia, or simply google names like SA-2, SA-19, Hawk, Roland etc. There are plenty military wikis or websites covering them. Do not rely too much on range and altitude info. The next newer ones are more deadly, even if the range is shorter. Always think of it as an estimated engagement range.

Keep them in a position, where you can still maneuver and evade.
