CBStu Posted March 6, 2022 Posted March 6, 2022 I downloaded this and started flying it. You have several places you can start from as well as several panes you can fly, and the plane starts out unarmed so you can load whatever you like and then go pound the Saipan airport. The airport is just covered w/ sams etc. So flying the FA-18, I first tried GPS bombs. But you need to be well within sam range to launch them so I was shot down. So then I looked at ranges for glide bombs. Tried SLAMs and could launch way out of sam range so I was OK but the SLAMs were shot down. Tried JSOW-As and they were shot down. I will try HARMS next but there are so many sams that I expect that I will shoot all the HARMS and, even if they are not shot down, 4 HARMs will not be enough, to take out the sams. Also taking 4 HARMs won't leave me capacity for bombs. I 'think' that I need 3 wingmen to do much good but out of curiosity, any thoughts on techniques/arms that might let me do some damage and get back home?
CBStu Posted March 6, 2022 Author Posted March 6, 2022 Thought I'd try something completely different so loaded four 1000# dumb bombs and set fuse to delayed. Figured I'd try 200ft or less approach, fly over the airport and just drop them. Hah, shot down well before feet dry. Think I will move on to another mission.
