Mission 4 Feedback (or Tips) - CAS kill under JTAC clearance (Spoilers)

[Jenson]

Mission 4

On the return leg, committed the bonus CAS attack. One JDAM left, used TGP pod to get the tank's coordinates for TOO mode. Dropped the bomb above 20k ft, then egress south, but the bomb took a little bit long to hit the target. So when when player said something like "Devil 1-2, off target..."

Bravo 6 replied something like "No kill, circle around for another attack"

3 seconds later, BOOM! the JDAM hit the target right on.

Then Bravo 6 replied something like "Good kill, but next time get clearance before attack"

So, here's the 5 points I lost, only got 95 for the mission. Ahhhh, that was a 2 hour mission! 

Anyway, just a small tip that if you want get 100, maybe drop the bomb at 15k feet, otherwise the bomb just flew too long.

I'll look at tweaking the timing, I thought I had allowed enough time for a longer drop but guess not in your case!

I had a hard time getting both GBU-16s on the target. On the 2nd run, a cloud obscured the target. I went below it, and got blasted by AAA for theeffort  Next Run, he get's a JDAM from me.
