CH4Pz Posted March 27, 2023 Posted March 27, 2023 Not sure if this is by design or not, as he tells me to "get the second one", but when we get intercepted by flankers, i use my 1 fox3 to hit one of the bandits but my wingman never seems to attack, and i keep getting shot down by the second as i notch or before i can get a Fox2 on him (i suck at AA, dont hate lol). Shouldnt he fire on them?

Part of it a DCS issue in that you cannot designate an AI for both ground attack, which he has just done, and air attack. Sometimes he may help. Even though not designated but it is a bit in the lap of the gods, so assume you have to take out both. Trick is get the first one with your 120 then go defensive looking for the second with your HMD and 9x’s you shouldn’t have too much of a problem, as you can fire at almost 90 degrees.

Hope this helps Badger633 Ahh, Righto, that was sort of my approach, but by the time the 9's get a tone, theyve launched fox3s at me.... as mentioned.. i suck at AA lol im sure i'll get it, thanks for the tips
Solid_84 Posted November 16, 2023 Posted November 16, 2023 Haven't been able to get both Fulcrums yet. Watched the Flying Kenny video as well, but cannot for the life of me replicate what I saw there. By the time my own 120 goes active there are already two Fox3s in the air forcing me to go defensive. If I manage to survive that it's my AIM9 against the remaining Mig's Fox3 which is in the air well before I get a tone and that just doesn't seem to work out so well for me. After several tries I really wish this part was earlier in the mission, as I don't have a lot of time to fly nowadays and can only try one time per day. Wish I wouldn't suck so much at AA..

Wish I wouldn't suck so much at AA.. maybe try the 120 in pitbull, you should be able to notch in burners then come back around with the 9's. i was the same tbh, i usually only do 1 or 2 missions a night, this one definitely gave me strife. i think i dove down low and got him (the 2nd one) on the way back up with the 9's
Badger633 Posted November 19, 2023 Posted November 19, 2023 Think your right @CH4Pz in that situation don't wait for the 120 to go active, there are no friendlies ahead so Pitbull is a good option and at the very least will make them go defensive so easier to deal with. @Solid_84 give it a try. Spoiler As it's not possible in the editor to get an AI wingman to do both ground attack and air to air attacks you are on your own in this particular case.

Thank you both for the tip, I'll give this a try the next time I'm flying. 1
