Coda campaign mission

[Migo]

Ah I'm having problems with that mission.

 

I was flying there, saw the convoy, destroyed SA13 and some Shilkas and tanks, then Intellegence say "Your new Primary is Target Point XY, I repeat...."

 

And I was like... oh ok. Lets fly to Target point XY.... yes Target...Point...... Where the f*ck is that ?

I tried using the PVI with Target Point mode but had no success.

Can someone tell me how you usually know where a Target Point XY is ?

Thought the blue range circle on ABRIS should be the convoy position and I saw no other marked spot on the map besides landing FARP.

You should see it - IIRC facing the convoy ( ie following the route into the target zone) at a bearing ( not heading) of about 300'. If that's right you should soon hear the messages of 'Missile Inbound' etc haha

this mission is a real b**ch.

 

somehow, i can't get a refuel from the groundcrew at skala. repairs and rearming no problem. and then, on my third attempt, i thought i had the solution:

 

1. ordered a max refuel before takeoff (5 min delay)

2. race to combatzone (at max speed possible)

3. successfully saved the mi-28's from the convoy with killing the AA-threats

4. ordered the wingman to finish off the rest of the convoy (this takes long, he is so lame!)

5. rearm at skala

6. attack on base by first taking out AA-threats

 

then my laser burned out (damn, i forgot :doh: ), ordered wingman to continue the attack, but somehow he got stuck in the sky complaining about "return to formation". and then finally DCS:BS produced a nice appcrash for the first time...

 

aaaAARRRGHH!!! :joystick:

Okay this is an old thread, but other people might have issues with this mission and I just beat it so...

 

In reply to Alec, you can refuel at Podkova, so if you need rearm/refuel you have to land at each, but they are close by so it's not a big deal.

 

To kill the final chopper...it takes off right near the house...you should be able to visually spot it if you are high alt @ 5-6 km (just outside SAM range), making it easy to lock with the sh-fail. Ensure you press V for AA mode then missile the thing outta there.

 

You can avoid laser burnout (happened to me on a good run before I learned about it) by not range finding every last thing and setting ingress points etc. Just lock on with the laser off to watch your wingman's progress, then flip it on to finish off the remaining targets. The shkval can still track a moving ground target laser or not...

 

Other tips:

The initial convoy can be attacked broadside despite an earlier poster's claim if you stay just below the clouds ~1750m at ~5-6 km. Nothing in this mission is the slightest bit dangerous in fact, since you can just hover high up at long range and pick everything off. It just takes patience because you'll need a rearm/refuel if you try to kill everything (apparently you can divert from the convoy?). This procedure in fact works on every mission... time accel to target, hover kill, time accel home. Forget NOE!!

Well,

 

I see it is like cheating ... but here I leave the video.

 

...Sure, it can be done!!
