d0ppler Posted March 8 Posted March 8 I managed to screen shot it right before it faded away: "Next time make sure you request clearance to takeoff"! But I'm just taxing behind Sword 1 on the parallel taxiway, with no intention to take off before them Mission 7 (or 8?) "Chaos" was the name of the mission. BTW : I really love the effort and detail you've put into the ATC in these campaigns. I love it!

d0ppler Posted March 9 Author Posted March 9 (edited) This mission is way too hard, IMO. It's way, way harder than any of the Weasels missions so far. I've failed it 6 times now. Giving it up. Spoiler Very low on fuel if I manage to survive till the Flankers attacks us. The problem is that I need to wait till we're in a furball before I can attack, and every time (3 times I've managed to get to this point) I get shot down by one of them, even though I've managed to launch missiles on both of them. Maybe ease a bit up on the SAM threats? And also include a pitstop at Arco to refuel before entering Silver corridor in the mission? The missile dodging consumes A LOT of fuel Edited March 9 by d0ppler A-10C, AV-8B, Ka-50, F-14B, F-16C, F-5E, F/A-18C, L-39, Mi-8, MiG-21, MiG-29, SA34, Spitfire, Su-27, Su-33, UH-1H
SpikeGondorff Posted March 9 Posted March 9 (edited) I've never seen the bug, but who knows what changes between updates. Spoiler on attacking those Russian jets... Spoiler You don't have to attack those jets. I never saw a missile in the air at Shade nor did they ever lock/fire on me. I maneuvered onto their 6 and never fired. They eventually left and there is some talk about why they might have accidentally fired a missile before breaking lock. Edited March 9 by SpikeGondorff
yumemi5k Posted March 9 Posted March 9 Not sure if intentionally designed this way, but I think there are red herrings in the way the mission is presented: Spoiler The briefed orbit between WP8 and 9 is way too close to SAM threats. Staying northeast of WP8 keeps you out of the SAM NEZ while still allowing you to intervene with HARMs. Dunno why Shade starts blastin' with HARMS the moment he arrives, but don't follow his example and hold on to your HARMs until Chaos arrives. If you are Winchester the SAMs can choose between you and Chaos, but if you still have HARMs they need to choose between failing their mission vs. failing their mission and die trying.

The missile dodging consumes A LOT of fuel A few hints, terrain is your friend when it comes to the SAMs, once they go active I usually descend to under 10,000 feet so that if they launch I can easily drag the missiles into the ground. There's lots of hills/valleys in the area so the terrain is very useful here. As for the Flankers... Spoiler Your wingman expresses his doubts over the Flankers intentions, maybe you don't have to fire back...
d0ppler Posted March 9 Author Posted March 9 Allright, I'll give it another go. Thanks! 1 A-10C, AV-8B, Ka-50, F-14B, F-16C, F-5E, F/A-18C, L-39, Mi-8, MiG-21, MiG-29, SA34, Spitfire, Su-27, Su-33, UH-1H
d0ppler Posted March 9 Author Posted March 9 Thanks, @ChillNG! Finally made it! Spoiler I am just a stupid soldier doing stupid orders from stupid leaders. In retrospect, it's obvious that the Flankers took us as hostile Israeli fighters. A-10C, AV-8B, Ka-50, F-14B, F-16C, F-5E, F/A-18C, L-39, Mi-8, MiG-21, MiG-29, SA34, Spitfire, Su-27, Su-33, UH-1H
