I was flying 04  2v unk where you are the wingman. On the way to India, I took a 1.5 mile spread as mentioned in the briefing docs but about 6-8 miles out, Sniper 4 broke out of the spread formation and flew over behind me.... went ahead and pressed spacebar and the bogeys were literally right under us upon fights on call.....of course we both got our asses kicked and couldn't use AIM-7s that close in. it was weird. Briefing said they were supposed to 40 miles to the western side of range....

 

It brought up a question that i had in 03 too.... So, after the check in at Bighorn are you guys flying all the way to India (and turning around) before pressing the spacebar to start the fight? or are you doing it somewhere between IP and ST?   Thanks

you report ready as soon as you are after entering the range at bighorn. The bandits will be somewhere around india. If you fly all the way there before reporting ready the missions will get messed up and they’ll spawn on top of you.

Got it! Thanks

You know what would be really cool with this campaign? Bear in mind I am writing this after getting absolutely smoked in the 2 v unk multiple times .....but it would be awesome if there was a way for us to send in our tacview files for analysis by an expert like BIO.  Even if there was a cost associated with it, I think it would be a lot of fun - and would help us get better at employing the tomcat the correct way. I realize there is much that an expert would not be able to tell the general public. But it would awesome to just have some tips that build on what is already being said in the included briefs/debriefs - and it could be prefaced that the tips are for the game, etc.. Examples would be like, "your combat spread should be wider", the wingman should attempt to be at co-altitude with the bogeys cover a/c", things like that.

 

I haven't been online since this came out because I am having a blast trying to figure out what I did right/wrong, but sometimes I need more feedback on MY flying. I try to incorporate all the info that is out there in various channels, but if I fail I don't really know exactly what I did wrong in many cases...

Yeah, that would be cool - I doubt he'd have the time, though.

 

You can still post your tacviews here on the forums, though, there are many good pilots here who can give you advice.
