Dragon1-1 Posted Monday at 06:12 PM Posted Monday at 06:12 PM Just a little anachronism I noticed. The R-60M was introduced in 1982, which means it shouldn't exist at the campaign's timeframe, yet the Su-25s have it. It probably makes them a little too good at shooting down fighters. Also, the Phantoms seem to be SAM magnets in that mission. I think they either fly too high or are getting too far east.
SorelRo Posted Tuesday at 03:17 PM Posted Tuesday at 03:17 PM Well, Su-25 was introduced in 1981. the first 11 airplanes arrived in May 1981, but this is not real life historical events. Let's say that both the missile and the plane were rushed into service.
Dragon1-1 Posted Tuesday at 06:49 PM Author Posted Tuesday at 06:49 PM (edited) Actually, the first Su-25 squadron was formed February 1981, and they've been in production for three years before that. They were also being produced in Georgia, so seeing them two years early wasn't too bad. The R-60M was a nasty surprise, though, especially since there was no warning in the briefing to expect Soviet attackers to suddenly have all-aspect heaters (would have made more sense on fighters, though in '79 it definitely would have warranted a briefing mention either way).
