dporter22 Posted March 23, 2024 Posted March 23, 2024 (edited) The narrative says I'm supposed to make sure the loadouts for the other flights are correct for their missions. How do I do that? I only have access to my aircraft and my wingman's in the mission planner. Is it automatic when I select their missions? Also, is there a way to make enemy aircraft visible on the F10 map?

Also, is there a way to make enemy aircraft visible on the F10 map? Hi, Thank you for your message. Loadout for DEVILs 2 to 5 are automatic and are defined by given task. The loadouts are selected so that AI aircraft can accomplish the given mission with this armament. Unfortunately, AI tends to be a bit sensitive and may refrain from completing the task if the armament is not to its liking. Therefore, armaments cannot be changed by the player for anyone other than the player themselves and their wingman. Enemy aircraft are not visible on the map. I made this choice as a compromise between gameplay and realism. Most of the Blue team's aircraft are visible. This attempts to simulate the situation where, in a real life, aircraft would be able to communicate their positions to each other or have their location relayed via AWACS. Instead, for example, low-flying USAF A-10s are not visible on the map. Aircraft visible for AWACS radar can be seen on your SA page via datalink. AWACS also calls enemy aircraft position if enemy is within its radar range. Edited March 24, 2024 by Sandman Simulations 1
dporter22 Posted March 25, 2024 Author Posted March 25, 2024 How many missions are in this campaign? I flew 4 successful missions, and then at the end of the 5th it said the campaign was over and try again. Should there be more or was that it?

Did the campaign end because enemy did infiltrate too deep into Emirates territory? Your mission is to help ground forces to win the war. How you do it is up to you. If enemy is not pushed back the coalition loses. It can happen after fifth mission if all the fights are lost. If the coalition pushes enemy back to the sea and even more the coalition wins. If all fights are won it can happen after mission 8. For me it usually takes 15-20 missions. If the war is still unresolved after mission 26 campaign will end in cease fire.
dporter22 Posted March 25, 2024 Author Posted March 25, 2024 Yes, I believe that's what it said. I'm confused though because the briefing says I'm supposed to establish air superiority. On the 4th and 5th missions, air superiority has not been established so I'm not able to support the ground forces yet. Should the other Devil flights be assigned to ground support from the beginning?

Air Tasking Order gives you guidelines what is wanted from your squadron but it doesn't tie your hands from doing whatever you see is best. Spoiler If you can establish local air superiority over front line USAF CAS flights will be available at some point and will make it much easier to push enemy back to north. It's still not mandatory to gain air superiority. You can try to use your squadron for CAS missions, you can kill enemy attack helos and ground attack aircrafts so they won't kill our ground troops or you may strike against enemy naval support convoys bringing supply and more troops from Iran. If you can help ground troops to slow down enemy progression even day or two US Army armored troops will have time to arrive and give helping hand for Emirates troops. I have no death proof way how it's done but there are many ways to the victory. I think the most satisfying is to find your own way to do it.
