How to lock A-A ?

[jctrnacty]

Hi can anyone make a video tutorial how to lock an air targets?

 

I´m playing 2nd campaign and can´t destroy helicopters. I can´t even lock them with schkval.

 

Thanks a lot for any recommendations how to do that.

Hey man, i dont think anyones going to make that vid for you. anyway, just select air to air targeting mode. then make sure you are within range (laser on) and just keep slewing the shkval over the target. you most likely wont get a lock right away, but if you are persistent, you will get a lock.

 

Just keep trying, youll get it.

 

good luck!

I've noticed that the Shkval only cares if the gates are too big, not if they are too small so when in doubt make it smaller.

here is a simple track of a short flight and an AA lock up and kill. I couldnt figure how to add voice to it but you can still watch the procedure for the most part.

 

I get to the target area, aquire visual on the chopper, get the reticule close, work the shikval over him, and then launch.

 

Smallest shikval box possible, and i Always aim for just below the rotors.

 

Hope it helps

I just generally think it's incredibly hard to see the other chopper in time..

But when I do see them in time, I find the HMS (I use TrackIR) very handy to get the Shkval pointed quickly.

I agree a smaller shkval gate size seams to be a safer lock most times (for ground targets too..).

Thank a lot for your help will try that. Finally finished the 2nd campaign but no AA kil :-((((((
