alboon2000 Posted August 28 Posted August 28 Hi, I'm not very knowledgeable in dynamic campaigns, but I have a question : How do you win this ? Whatever the role I give to my squadron they never hit anything apart from enemy aircraft. After the 1st mission I advanced to 30-40% air superiority, and that's it. When I send flight for CAS mission they go somewhere else (see tacview track : Devil 5 is sent to CAS mission in India area and they get lost in the north... ), in sead mission they don't hit anything, it's like I have to do all the job myself... Another problem is that i have to wait for a very long time in order to have everyone ready in WP1, about 11mn (between I reach wp1 and Devil 5 reach wp1). Is it supposed to be like this ?

After achieving air superiority level high enough you need to protect blue ground troops from enemy attack aircraft and helos and destroy enough enemy ground troops. And I think that's just what you tried to do. From Tacview we can see that Devils 3 and 5 are tasked to CAS area Lima instead of India. Lima is at north. Sometimes it is possible that F10 menu gets overwhelmed and something else is activated even if you push just right row. Shouldn't happen very often but it's good to check the text after selecting task for AI units to be certain that right task is given to them. Please try that again and if still a wrong CAS area is given report me the name of the mission and how many dynamic missions you have played so I can check if there is something wrong. Time to get all units airborne is now longer than it was when the campaign was made. After the DCS deck crew update things have changed so that those AI units will only taxi after you. Unfortunately there is no way I could tell them to taxi first as the AI deck behavior is determined by DCS. 1

Spoiler There will be reinforcements later in the campaign and it might be very hard to beat enemy before they arrive. You should also try to take out enemy naval convoy and strategic targets to stop enemy resupplying troops over the sea. CAS only will almost never be enough for victory Edited 22 hours ago by Sandman Simulations

They hit only 6 vehicles. I give up. I did some more testing. It’s true that at the moment the flights assigned to the CAS mission seem a bit too eager to attack enemy attack helicopters. Important work as well, but destroying ground forces should be prioritized. I’ll make some adjustments in this regard, but that doesn’t change the fact that a war cannot be won by destroying ground forces alone. Taking out logistics is essential. That in turn requires sufficient air superiority and suppression of air defenses. By these means, the enemy’s advance can be slowed down or even stopped until reinforcements arrive.
