I can't help but feel reverence while working through this campaign. Knowing what the Wild Weasels went through in Vietnam to craft a tactic, that made clearing air defenses and making the skies safer for strike aircraft, theres less of a sense of just kidding around as I play DCS. I want to thank you developers for making another ccampaign that really tests my nav capabilities while teaching me air combat skills. I enjoyed the Operation Cerebrus North campaign just as much.

So mission 3 log:  Score 98, I think because I called arrival just below 6500 msl or it's because I called approach at FL021 and descending, not bad, I'm happy with my score overall.  I used a JDAM on an SA8, and A Mav on the SA6 radar,  At that point all I could do was spend my other 2 weapons on 2 of the TEL vehicles.  Altogether it was way awesome how Sword 1-1 and I, 2-1, took running in on the SA6 to keep it busy, until one was lined up for the kill.  Took on 500 lbs of fuel with Shell 1-1 on the RTB, just in time to continue on egress as they turned back to their orbit.  There's something satisfying about hearing the Bingo call twice during one hop.  

So we are fighting the Syrian Islamic Army, and supporting the YDF, and the SIA and the Syrian Democratic forces are fighting the Syrian Military / Government (who the Russians are Supporting) do I have that right?  In any case, I wasn't sure when those Flankers pulled up close  by if they were pissed that we'd been bombing the SIA or if they couldn't care less.  Sigh of relief though after they flowed west soon after contact.

Well,  that was an amazing campaign.   I hope part 2 will start with a takeoff from H4 for a hop to the new base for the 79th!

It's a confusing mess in Syria alright.  We're the JSTF, fighting the SIA and the SAA, and supporting the SDF and YPG.  We're not fighting the Russians but we're not friends either.

The SDF are fighting the SAA and SIA.  They are aligned although not fully allied with the YPG.

The Russians are helping the SAA fight the SDF as well as the SIA.

Everyone's fighting the SIA, no one likes them.

Easy as that lol.

Thanks glad you enjoyed!

Yeah, I just now finished mission 1, after spending a couple dozen hours getting familiar with the Viper first. Ground Pounder Sims campaigns really are top shelf DCS content. I'm really looking forward to the rest.
