FC 2 Warthog day mission.

Anyone familiar with this mission? Need a guide for it. Back to FC2 hog, after long absence. Can we tune in to different freqs in the hog? Etc? Looks an excellent mission, did scan the manual, but cant find anything, correct me if I am wrong.

 

Thanks

Here is a good guide about A-10 operations in a high-threat environment on which this mission is very much based on:

 

SimHQ's RAF Bentwaters Tactics Guide

 

On page 8 you can find information on the 9-line target briefing, which will be very important in this mission.

 

 

Here are some general helpers to the mission:

-The basic structure is to get airborne and contact the Airborne Command and Control Center for tasking. The ABCCC will give you directions to a Forward Air Controller that needs your help. Once in contact with the FAC, he will give you the 9-line brief for your actual target.

-You do not need to adjust any frequencies yourself. If you see the message that the frequency of your radio has been tuned, prepare for radio contact.

-I suggest to set up a orbit with the autopilot just before copying any important information. I use the altitude and bank hold autopilot to set up a stable orbit to have my full attention when receiving the 9-line brief from the FAC. This even works well just 100 ft over the ground.

-Have pen and paper ready to write down important information. Unless you are a genius, the mission is very hard otherwise :)

Thanks Mbot. Great mission which showcases FC2. Yes, hard, got whacked by SAMs. Kind of got a little distracted by my RWR lighting up like a xmas tree. Couldnt find the FAC, north of bullseye 21 miles right?

There's a couple of them - at least two. You need to be fairly accurate, and as long as you fly over the right area you'll automatically receive the next instructions.
