The Georgian Navy (SP)

[TAIPAN_]

Hi All,

 

Here's my first mission (single player), I'm still learning how to use the editor so please try it and let me know how to improve it.

 

It has one issue I know of - the wingman takes off slow as takeoff clearance doesn't come straight away, if anyone can help me with that I'd be grateful.

 

Mission details below, it's all in the briefing too:

TAIPANs "The Georgian Navy"

Mission: 01

Version 1.01

Date: January 01 2010

########################

 

A few years after the Georgian Oil War, relations with Georgia have remained tense. Georgia is refusing to come to a compromise during negotiations over renewal of oil field leases.

 

The new hardline political parties in Russia that arose after the second global financial crisis have a serious agenda.

 

Georgia has been building up it's military power with foreign money. In particular, it's Navy. Georgia has repaired damaged ships and made operational a number of new ones. In a provocative move, Georgia has sent 5 of these ships within range of the Russian border. The Georgian Navy is on the move as we speak.

 

Russian naval assets are not in the immediate area. However, a message needs to be sent that Georgia is not immune even in the short term.

 

TASK:

Our strike aircraft cannot get within range of the Georgian Navy without high risk of loss of life and aircraft.

 

The KA-50 however can hover to avoid detection at low altitudes.

 

Your flight must destroy a Georgian Navy vessel. This is a task that the KA-50 has never completed before, succeed and your name will be in the history books.

 

You will be equipped with the Kh-25ML laser guided air to surface missile.

 

It can be employed by the KA-50 under 15km, however it's recommended to fire from within at least 10km.

 

We will declare war soon after takeoff, you have permission to engage any resistance that gets in your way.

 

Friendly units in the area:

* 2 Su-33s may provide fighter cover against enemy Su-17s.

* 4 Su-25s have been tasked to bomb ground targets.

* No friendly helicopters are in the area.

* No friendly ships are in the area.

* Russian ground units will begin pushing across the border as war is declared.

 

Reloading: Only select the default payload to receive the Kh-25ML.

 

Hints:

1. It may be necessary to switch to manual fire mode to make use of the weapons range advantage.

2. The ships WILL try and shoot down your missile as well as your helicopter. Fire both missiles using long burst mode to maximise chances of a hit.

3. Use the terrain to your advantage to avoid SAMs, the ships will run out of SAMs eventually, then stay extremely low when coming in for the attack.

4. The enemy has some Su-17 fighters, do your best to avoid them if they are scrambled. Our Su-33 fighters will sweep the battle area.

5. Your mission is clear, sink a ship. Try not to get tangled up in the other battles unless it is necessary to complete your mission.

I've updated the attachment with a new version. Changes:

* Fixed mismatched skins.

* Gave R-60 air to air missiles to the Georgian Su-17s, the air war is now more serious. Likely that only one fighter jet will remain on the winning side.

* Other minor tweaks.
