ZaltysZ Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Destroy the house and after that chase and kill the car, which is trying to escape through the city. That is all. Wir sehen uns in Walhalla.
Nate--IRL-- Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 This one got me too, you really have to pay attention to what the FAC is telling you to do. I missed what he was saying to me many times because i was distracted and didn't get the time to read the subtitles.

Buznee Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 I was able to blow up the house but I could not find the car, spent 10 minutes looking for it along all the roads through the town and turned to hover and did not catch the decent on time and fell into vortex ring and died. :doh:

pHk Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 (edited) It's best to take out enemy forces around the house fist and the focus on the house. You can then take out the house using ATGM* or rockets (you'll have to move in closer to take out the building with the rockets). When the house is destroyed, a vehicle tries to escape in front of it. Hunt it down and the mission is successful :) * It's impossible for me to use Shkval to lock on properly onto the house, it insists on snapping to the car in front of it or the units to the side. Is there some manual mode I can enable to allow me to lock on to any position in the FOV using Shkval, rather than a specific target so I can focus on the actual building? Help would be much appreciated. Edited January 4, 2009 by pHk

The civil car will begin its journey from ruins into the city to the left (looking from ingress point). Second salvo of CABs will be launched over the city for you to see and kill that car. Forget Vikhrs, engage the car with C8 or cannon while CAB's are still lighting the area. If you are too slow, it will escape in the dark. No need to kill everything around the house. Do only what are you supposed to do. :) Edited January 4, 2009 by ZaltysZ Wir sehen uns in Walhalla.
Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 blow up all the cars parked nearby the house first then the house. Then there is no need to chase the fleeing car. This is how I did it anyway.
d0ppler Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 blow up all the cars parked nearby the house first then the house. Then there is no need to chase the fleeing car. This is how I did it anyway. I think I did that as well, however, I got the message that the guy tried to run away, so I did spend 15 minutes trying to find the car, which I didn't. Thought I failed the mission, didn't get any mission complete. But after I landed the chopper back at the airbase and escaped the mission was completed.

ZaltysZ Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 Mission with result equal or greater than 50% is considered as successful. By chasing that car, you may get higher score. Wir sehen uns in Walhalla.
geogob Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 blow up all the cars parked nearby the house first then the house. Then there is no need to chase the fleeing car. This is how I did it anyway. That's how I would tend to do it in the context of this engagement. You have a special meeting with important people you want of the map. Step 1) disable their transportation. Step 2) Bring the building down. Step 3) finish off anyone running away with the 30 mm HE. It's easier to track fleeing people that are on foot ;) Speaking of which... I've never seen any infantry move in DCS (but I'm not far into the first campaign). Do they eventually move around or is there no AI for ground troops?

Help would be much appreciated. You don't have to actually lock the building, wich can be impossible in lowlight conditions with poor contrast. Instead just press lock once to ground stabilize and get a range, then fire the Vikhr. Make sure to manually keep the tracking gates on the target until missile impacts.

Instead just press lock once to ground stabilize and get a range, then fire the Vikhr. Make sure to manually keep the tracking gates on the target until missile impacts. I don't quite fully get it yet, when I tried it the Shkval would automatically snap to what it thinks is a target, in this case the vehicle or units in front of the building. When I moved the tracking gates anywhere near the building, it would automatically snap onto a target. I'm probably doing something wrong, but haven't figured out exactly what it is yet :) Thanks for the reply in any case. Is there a chapter or section in the manual somewhere that deals with this specific way of targeting?
Dachs Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 If it snaps to something unwanted, hold down the lock button (enter?) and slew the gates over the target you want, then let go of lock. Make sure to keep the gates on the target until missile impact. What you're doing is that you are manually pointing the laserbeam the missile is riding, a "real" lock should not be neccesary.

SunDown Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 (edited) This one is actually fun once you figure out what the heck is going on. The only beef I got with the campaign is that when you are trying to settle the aircraft into a hover and get your attack setup, something important is being said. Anyway, once you toast the house, the bad guy heads out, we know that. I tried a Vicker on him but missed, from that point it was game on. The illum lasts for awhile, but the best thing to do is turn your spot light on, dawn the NVGs and head to the edge of town where he is heading. Its a black car, you can't miss it. I chased that bastard for 15 minutes trying to line up a shot on him only to miss. Strafing attacks are dangerous because the road his is on is paralleled by some power lines. I finally got low and waited for him to pass in front of me. I had the K-041 in Gunsight mode. When he passed in front, i ate him up with 30mm. It was really fun, and once you vaporize that car, you'll think so too. Sundown Edited January 5, 2009 by SunDown C Co 6-6 CAV USLANTCOM
