Trouble with the three SU-25s on Mission 6


Recommended Posts

Hi Apache600,

 

I'm currently on Mission 6. Very atmospheric start to the mission, but I am having troubles with the three SU-25s that are approaching along the coast from Gudauta. I'd probably be able to deal with them if not for the fact that they're firing missiles at me. When I go after one, one of the other two will at some point shove a missile up my tail pipe. After 7 tries, I eventually caved and turned on the Immortal setting. However, the missiles still blow me up even though I have Immortal turned on. Are they supposed to be this deadly?

Only 1 of them carries R-60's (he's got 2 with him). Seems like he always has it out for you. The moment you see one on your tail, you might want to break off and try again. I spent most of my time looking behind me after I first run into them ... because of that reason.

Not sure how you got killed even when immortal, those guys must be pretty good! lol

 

Keep your head on a swivel, and keep your speed up. Don't slow down to match their speed, and get into their fight. That way if you find one on you, you can pull into a high yo-yo, turning inside your pursuer, and hopefully keep your tail free of R-60's

Oh. Only one of them has missiles! I should prioritise that one then and take it out first since I might not have the ammo to down all three. They do take quite a few rounds to bring down, but that's not surprising for an Su-25. Speaking of SU-25s, the briefing text refers to the A-10s I was originally supposed to be providing CAP for as SU-25s. I'm assuming that's an accidental carryover from the Mig-15 version of the briefing?

Yep, that's a typo. Thought I caught those. You don't have to down all 3, they should start packing up and running a few minutes after the 1st one is downed, and if you down 2, the remaining one should bugger out right away then.

After flying by and inspecting each of the SU-25s, I realised the lead aircraft was the chap with the missiles. No wonder I was having trouble. I was attacking them from the rear so I was leaving the lead aircraft for last. Once I went after it first, I had no more troubles. The other two really don't put up any fight at all. Shot em all down relatively quickly.

 

I've noticed a number of minor typos in the briefings in earlier missions (off spelt as of, that kinda thing). Once I'm done with the campaign (so I can avoid spoilers), I'll go over the mission briefings in detail and pick out typos for you.

Great, glad you got passed it!

 

Haha, picking out all my typos is gonna be full time work for you :)

Are you playing on Open Beta, or the Stable version of DCS? The newest version of the campaign on Open Beta has corrected a bunch of typos (i'm looking through my briefing for the F-86 mission 6, and I don't see any mention of SU-25's. I know I had it before, but I fixed that with the latest OB)

When you fly mission 7 or 8, let me know the mission version number if you could. (it should be in the "situation" part of the briefing. ex: -c- would be version c)

That would answer that then, I guess I forgot to double check the Situation briefs. Spent to much time making sure the briefing pages were kept up. Thanks for letting me know.

Apache, I was wondering if you might be able to provide the briefings in text format? I started going through them to find the typos, but there are quite a few and it's rather a hassle typing them out manually. If you have it in text, I can just correct it in MS Word with tracked changes, which I think would make things easier for both of us.
