lemoen Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 Something I've noticed playing mission 2 and 3 and 4 a few times, is that one needs to fly over the waypoints rather precisely. For instance, in the CAS AG mission I didn't fly over the waypoint 3 the first two times and the third time I did and I got a weapons hot message. After the message I bombed the target and fired all my rockets and killed a few things and then I waited and waited and nothing happened. The first time I flew the mission I bombed the target I got a message about "That's a hit", 3rd play bombed the target and no message. I feel I'm missing some info here. The other missions where similar but I managed, it looks like to hit enough triggers to finish it. So some questions. Are we supposed to navigate by looking at landmarks or by using a stopwatch or something? I can't find ADF or Tacan close by to use to nav so it must be landmarks or the kneeboard cheat. Are we supposed to fly over EACH waypoint in order, in order to finish a mission? Are there specific things I must do in a mission that is not in the briefing? For mission 3 I get the feeling I had to hit the units closest to the bridge maybe? But this wasn't mentioned anywhere. The briefing has a cryptic mission card in it and I can't find any explanation for what any of it means. I see things like GN (90) 354 / 32. I have no idea what this means and there's no explanation anywhere and I don't think the F5 supports whatever that is. There's also lat longs for various things but also not of use in the F5. Please help.
SorelRo Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 The waypoints are placed around visible landmarks, like lakes, cities or visible intersections, you should be within a mile and a half to that waypoint for a certain trigger to pop. However in most of the cases I built the trigger around the waypoint to give you a hint or to point you towards a target. But missing that shouldn't interfere with the result of the mission. You will have to be quite accurate with your bomb run and rocket run on that mission, destroying at least 10 vehicles is a must, also, wait for the F-4's to make their run and maybe take some stragglers with a gun run. There are 3 groups there and all 3 of them should receive some damage. Two of them should be really close together by the time you get there and should be easy to inflict quit lot of damage with a good rocket pass or a good bomb drop. In the mission card you should have a graphic representation of the target locations.
