PawlaczGMD Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 I am really struggling in mission 2. It seems impossible to do with the loadout. The Strela at the target point is wiping everyone out, and it's extremely difficult to take it out with dumb bombs or guns. I've resorted to editing the mission and loading one maverick for it, although it feels cheesy. Still, after killing it, my wingman can't even kill a single vehicle, and I can barely kill any. The cluster bombs are very unreliable against the BMPs. I've loaded just GP bombs, but the BMP snipers are annihilating me when dropping... To kill half of them, I need almost perfect accuracy. You get the point. This doesn't seem to be designed well for how the game works currently. Is every other mission going to be like this, or is it worth playing this campaign?

PawlaczGMD Posted April 21 Author Share Posted April 21 So I passed this mission by loading LGBs for my flight. However the following mission I am also getting killed by strelas around the target. Does anyone have any tactical advice on how to deal with this if you have to drop dumb bombs on target? I will be within the strela range, and I won't spot it without labels. It seems like the attack has at least 50% chance of me dying to a random IR missile. I could of course load maverics and jdams, but let's say I want to try completing the mission with close to default loadout? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmatsch Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 terrain masking, ECM, Countermeasures, notching and missile avoidance are all skills needed for successful SAM evasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roosterfeet Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 The included campaign isn't very good. There are numerous third party campaigns for sale that are fantastic though. Also, if you haven't tried it yet, I highly recommend Operation Bold Cheetah by Sedlo. It's free but it has paid DLC quality and then some. 2 Ryzen 5 3600, Radeon RX 5600 XT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent campaign, excellent radio management, and (from my little knowledge) excellent mission planing. And it is free. download it, play it and you will be a different pilot (much better, I mean...) Saludos. Saca111 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PawlaczGMD Posted April 23 Author Share Posted April 23 (edited) I managed to complete it after all. Indeed, the campaign was very perfunctory, and with only 6 missions. I had to modify the loadouts a bit to make it work. I managed to complete mission 3 with just dumb bombs, but mostly due to luck - IR missiles not hitting me. I am now playing Raven One, and it's great. I will check out Bold Cheetah, thanks. Edited April 23 by PawlaczGMD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
