ATD123 Posted Monday at 03:49 AM Posted Monday at 03:49 AM Suppose I'll start this saying that I'm a horrible pilot. I don't think I'm going to get much better over time, either. I shoot a few missiles at my guys on the right, they die. But ATTACK1 seems to always survive after the initial volley, and only comes running for ME. That's fine, I guess I'm not taking down the correct planes or something... but my wingman is doing NOTHING. I'm flying all around trying to avoid this guy, passing the two hornets doing the A2G, going all over the place, and my wingman is doing absolutely nothing other than to try and catch up on my wing. Is there any way you could tell him that he is totally allowed to shoot missiles at the enemy while is wingman is fighting for his life? This is my fourth try... actually fifth. I don't know if I have it in me to try again (immersion thoroughly broken). Waaaaahhh.
Badger633 Posted Monday at 08:42 AM Posted Monday at 08:42 AM Hi @ATD123 You should be taking out, as directed, the two to the right, your wing will then deal with the two to the left. The wing had been scripted not to take out your two aircraft as otherwise all you would have to do is sit back and let him take care of all the aircraft, part of the challenge is for you to take out at least two of the aircraft. I attach a link to Flying Kennys fly through of the mission so you can see how it is done. You need to use your radar correctly to ensure you are targeting the correct aircraft with your long range missiles, fly aggressively so as not to be an easy target and when close up use your helmet mounted display with your AIM 9X missiles which will give you a big advantage. In the playlists on my youtube channel I have listed some great videos by others on the use of the F18 radar. Well worth a look and will help you no end. www.youtube.com/@badger633 On the basis of your comments I have revised the mission so after a few minutes if really struggling the wing will help but you will have to survive for those few minutes. This is the forth of my five campaigns which have been designed to get more challenging as you progress so cannot make it too easy. Revised mission will be in next update. Hope this helps, remember practice makes perfect F/A-18C Campaigns : The Serpent’s Head / The Serpent’s Head 2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- I9 9900K @ 5.0Ghz / Gigabyte 2080ti water force extreme / 32 Gb RAM Corsair Dominator Platinum 3600 / 2Tb Samsung 970 Evoplus NVMe M.2 / Thrustmaster Warthog Hotas / Thrustmaster Pedals / Valve Index.
