Mission 6 - attack heading

[dakota558]

This might just be me not fully understanding the JTAC instructions, but I'm having a problem here one the second assigment:

Spoiler

Is it correct that I'm supposed to be on a 020 heading and within 7 miles from the target when I'm calling in? I tried a few times, but each time I get an abort call from the JTAC and I'm not able to continue. And how accurate do I have to be on the heading? I was on 020, plus minus 5 degrees on my attempts. And do I need call before 7 miles? I thought the IP was at 7 miles and that I should be on a heading of 020 from there.

Edit: Finally cleared hot. I don't know what was different this time though, maybe I was a bit more accurate with the heading and IP.

The heading allowance is normally around 25020 degrees either way, not being over the IP is usually the culprit.  IIRC this will be the task on the two tanks on the ridge?  If so the IP is the port, just make sure you are directly overhead when you all in so you're definitely in the IP zone.

Most likely. Will try again tomorrow as I managed to get myself shot down with AAA. Would love a quick save function in DCS...
