Mission 9 - playthrough

[Lt_Jaeger]

Kind of standard mission.....bad guys getting smarter and somehow I lost a flight member down the way. Have to check tac-view what happened. Got a little task saturated in all that yelling and shouting, all that sprinkled with a bolter at the end, which remind me, you could do anything, just don't fly a centered ball

Good flying there! It was a nasty trap, but you got out of it nicely

If the 21s would turn back a little later, it would spice things up drastically

I finished this mission on the second attempt (after getting shot down by a 29 on the first).

I was very happy to have achieved a Sparrow kill on a 29 on the second attempt in a nasty furball, and all the wingmen survived too. I'm not the most adept dogfighter so that is an accomplishment for me

 

Upon returning to the carrier though, there were three Tomcats looking like they were ready to launch, but they never did. And an Intruder looking out of place right next to them? I didn't get a screenshot. Fortunately these missions don't require landing though and I was able to just quit and proceed.

Intruder? Are you sure? That’s new to me

 

if the Tomcats don’t launch that’s probably a new dcs ai bug

No, I'm not sure. What are the other planes with the wings folded up and the rounded noses that are parked on the carrier sometimes? It was one of those. It was right next to one of the Tomcats that was on cat 3 or 4 - the blast deflector was up but it never launched. There were Tomcats on 3 and 4, and one of them on either 1 or 2 as well. I should have taken a screenshot but I play in VR. Hopefully it was isolated - I've never seen this before.

Edit - An S-3 Viking?
