CBStu Posted November 27, 2021 Posted November 27, 2021 I have run across this situation several times now in different missions/campaigns so a general question. In a mission where wingman and I are supposed to sweep the area of enemy fighters, while the other flights do the bombing. I splash several enemy, wingman does the same, enemy is gone. But now I am now out of missiles, out of flares and chaff, and have just 100 rnds for the gun. AWACS calls another incoming enemy fighter group. I am hanging around but soon it's obvious, as they launch missiles from 30-40 miles, that about all I can accomplish will be getting shot down so I head for the carrier. After a bit I get a popup saying I failed the mission. Realizing the writer can set things up however he wants I wonder; 1- what IRL would be the expectations. 2- what to do in the sim? I have looked in the radio menu to advise AWACS my situation but there is nothing. Regularly I hear an AI pilot radio he is bingo gas so I assume he heads home or tanker. Not sure if I have heard AI announce out of weapons. So just hang around (way around) and try to avoid getting shot down?
