Hints Needed to Complete A-10 Mission (Lockon 1.1 Demo)

[Greco]

Guys:

 

I'm enjoying the demo quite a bit.

 

I was wandering if there was any way to (automatically) target the AAA and SAM units in the demo A-10 mission. Ideally, I'd like to take these units out with the Mavericks from a distance.

 

What happens is that I end up destroying the wrong units with the Mav's, and then get so close for a rocket/bomb kill that the AAA and SAMs chew me (and my wingman) to bits.

 

(Just curious....in a real world situation would A-10 drivers risk going after a column of tanks/trucks that is supported by AAA and SAM units???? That's looking for trouble if you ask me.)

 

Thanks,

Fly toward them ... wait for the SAM to fire, note its position in the formation, turn, flares, jammer, run ... Then re-attack! Also, watch your RWR for a bearing ...

When I played that training mission, I got the impression that Ironhand showed us the "safe" way to do the job; Not getting too close for proper identification, but close enough for firing all of your Mavericks. Then fly home for supper.

Thanks to all for your replies.

 

My mistake for thinking that I had to destroy all enemy units for the mission to be a success. (I suppose I am playing way too many FPS games where you shoot everything in sight.)

 

Fly in...destroy what you can at a safe distance...and then get out of dodge.

 

Cheers,

If you think the A-10 mission is difficult you should try the Su-25 mission. :twisted:
