Mission 5: Wow

[OmasRachE]

Hey Reflected, 

what an amazing campaign and what a perfect mission. I needed to play it twice due to pilot error but I think I will play it severel times more in the future. It was so immersive and challenging, just pure fun. The voice-overs and the intense thrill when <profanity> got hot, and the relieve after the eagles have done their job. I´m realy looking forward to mission 6 but first I will play the F18 part of this mission. 

I like baltics campaign also but his missions sometimes leave me without an idea of what I have to do next. I think the pacing in your missions is a little better. It realy felt like being part of a package and I think my experience in Redflag 81-2 did serve me well, allthough it is another aircraft. I realy injoyed these realistic procedures from crew chief startup to plugging the tanker after takeoff and that stunning low level approach to the IP. 

 

Simply the best!

Thanks, I’m so glad you liked it. It’s my favorite mission of the campaign as well. This and mission 9, but 5 is more epic in terms of scale. Good luck with the rest of the missions!

So yesterday evening I played baltics version of this one. And I have two questions. First I noticed that in Your version I fly as element lead and get ordered to go to trail formation before we reach the ao and split up. Know sitting in the hornet i had a nice view on the weasel 7 flight but noticed W73 and W74 leading the pack by severel miles. I´m wondering if this is due to the DCS AI mechanics and maybe happens randomly or is it a lack of coordination between you and baltic? Even if it is, no blame for that, this is totally unimportant at all, but still I noticed it.

 

Second I don´t know if I only was to busy and missed something, but I had the feeling there were quite a few radio calls between Weasel 7 and Awacs in your Mission, which I didn´t hear in the hornet? Could that be or did I just not notice. I missed at least the whole SA8 announcement. And I could be wrong but the message in which awacs tells all players that the SA 10 had come alive two times in the last hour or so sounded like it was another speaker. Or is my brain trolling me? And the mission felt shorter, even considering that is is shorter couse you don´t need to plug the tanker.

Maybe those calls were on tac, which the hornets aren’t tuned to.
