Mission #2

[splash]

Hi,

I'm starting with this campaign and I have no idea about what to do in mission 2. Do I have to change UHF radio to 355.5? Apparently radio channels are managed automatically. Anyway I change frequency for UHF to 355.5 and left VHF at 122.2. When flying from WP2 to WP3 I receive a radio call "Uzi flight turn 290". I go there but there are no aircrafts at all. After that, Darkstar tells me "sort bandits on the left". After flying for some time, I received a radio message to declare "winchester", despite I didn't fire any missiles. Are they automatic messages? I'm completely lost. Uzi 1-2 completely ignore my radio messages for attack bandids "unable" (I tried with Flight and Wingman 2). I flew this mission four times and I'm a bit bored.

 

Thanks.

For the radios, you have two options: you can use the preset channels or you can tune manually. It is important to be on the right frequencies so you get the right messages. If you get the "sort bandits" message, it means that the bandits are there, but it seems like you may have missed either the radar or the datalink from the AWACS. There are 20+ bandits; maybe send me a track or a TacView. I'll check the mission too on my end. Also, your wingman will be silent, otherwise it reports stuff every 5 seconds, and it is annoying how they never shut up Once you are in range, the wingman engages.

The mission worked quite well for me. I'm not sure what problem you're encountering. Any mods that you have installed? You may want to disable those.

Thanks for your answers, I finally managed to pass mission #2 with any downed aircraft and after several attemps I continued to #3 (I enjoyned a lot) and #4. Before flying #4 I'm going to refly #2.

I have no mods at all except for A-4.

OK mission #2 flown,

Spoiler

9 aircrafts destroyed. All worked well. Bombers are very far and I had to set my HSD to 240 miles.

Yeap, that was the idea, long range over the ocean, operating at the limit.
