Comments after Mission 03 - Love it.

[Jack Chief]

I am after MM03 - CAP. Loved the length of mission 3 and tasking, so many things, which might go wrong. This is not a newbie campaign, but if you have many hours "under the belt" on F-16 and good  situational awarness you will be very satisfied! I only struggeled a bit with contacting Tanker. I have a bind to open radio menu, I didnt have a bind which will open radio menu on specific radio channel in this case UHF. I then paused the game and checked here in on forum what is wrong hehe. I love the cold start and all the preflight checks with crew chief. I learned buttons in the cockpit which I never touched. To summarize good fun. MM03 I used all I had under my wings and ammo, spend aprox 2 hours in the air, and did 150 pts and 100 completion score. 

 

So far, so very good!

I agree, mission 3 was a good one, CAP, to Intercept, to Tanking, to CSAR of all things. Good fun.

Seconded! This mission had me sweeting! Mission played perfectly! So many moving pieces and not a single hiccup on the current build.

Spoiler

Had to resort to guns to finish off the Frogfoots and noticed I had 2000 lbs of fuel. Knowing full  well I had to tank to do the CSAR mission from playing Baltic's mission, I began to panic but eased up on the throttle and babied it to the tanker. Made it to the tanker and connected with 600lbs left in the tank, one of the fastest 16s refueling connection I've managed! After refueling I immediately realize I only had about 230 rounds of 20 mike mike left, Crap! But it was enough to down one of the heli and wingmen finished off the second with a fox 3.
