where are the escorts or the SAMs? I was curious as to how you would engage the group with lots of defenses.

 

Great pics. lock on is beautiful (is that the new thing now?) Cooperative missions online are always fun to see.

[Grimes]

we were honestly hoping the Kuz would defend itself. Unfortunately theres a bug or something where it sometimes attacks enemies and other times it just sits there and takes the punishment.

[Kuky]

By the way reason three of us decided to go for the carrier is because we've already taken out all ground units and SAM's... at least we took out all SAM's that were threat to us during gruond attacks. There were few SAM's left but not in range of the carrier and nowhere near to engage us.

 

We had only short range IR onboard (and 1 aircraft took 2xET's) just in case someone did show up on the oposite side but that didn't happen.

 

Anyway, these screenshots are not for the purpose of us having a good attack run... it's to show of the beaty of LockOn... hm... looks like this is a new trend these days :) ... and maybe a bit showing off our squadron skin(s) :D
