Jeez, you're on a roll C.O.U.G.A.R :thumbup:

 

Looking forward to trying these out later.

I loved the IFR Night version of vIII... can't wait to try this one! :)

 

Thanks Cougar!

Tried the IFR last night... very good but I couldnt get within range to fire the Mavs without getting taken out by the SA15s. Clouds kept us from attempting bomb runs.

 

We're going to try one of us spotting and broadcasting SPIs (below the cloud layer ~ 7500' MSL) while the wingies do high altitude bombing. Not sure if broadcasting an SPI will work if the receiving wingmen have to use the SPI to drop bombs through the clouds.

 

Anyone have any other ideas on how to get those SAMs? I get within 8.5 miles and they fire their missles... I cant get a Mav lock that far out

I think there is one sam in particular that keeps taking me out, and he's about a km south east of the airfield - therefore closer. Taking him out first might help.

[jeffyd123]

Hmmm... I was scouring the area around the base.... Ill look again.

[riboyster]

Right on man, totally excited to jump in the pit on this one.

[jeffyd123]

Well we found several of them and they are all around the outer perimeter of the base as well as in the surrounding countryside.. REEEAAALLLY hard to find.

 

We gave up on the night IFR mission for now... just playing daytime VFR.

 

We got one of them by me acting as a wild weasel... flying around 19,000, when the SA-15 shows in the HUD, quickly turn 90 degrees (beaming the target) and wait for a launch. Try to see where the launches come from.

 

Next we found the launcher and shared the SPI. Once my wingie had lock at about 15 miles, I would fly across the launch range of the SAM, him launching and me evading the SAMs. The wingie got the Mav off and we nailed the SAM! WOOT.

 

Very challenging and extremely fun. Now you just have to do the about 6 times more and your ready to start on the AAA .

 

This mission could take all day. we had to refuel at the base on a couple of tries... not to mention that playing wild weasel is very tough until you get an idea of how far away you have to be to survive 1 to 5 missiles being launched at you.... lost more than 1 plane until i got the hang of it.

i m sorry for the question but .... what does VFR/IFR means ?

i m sorry for the question but .... what does VFR/IFR means ?

 

Fly by Instruments or visual Forza. No visual (IFR) out of canopy due to night or blackout conditions. Fly by visual, looking out the Canopy (VFR).

[mtuckner]

The actual acronyms are:

 

IFR - Instrument Flight Rules

VFR - Visual Flight Rules

 

I guess there are "official" rules and procedures for each situation, but Greb provides the basic idea. Can't see shit, and can see shit.

[Forza42]

thanks for responses guys :p

[jeffyd123]

well we played the mission for a good 4 hours last night and it is definitely tough. We finally cleared the Sams and then were able to bomb the rest.

 

I would have to conclude that the A10 is no match for SA-15s. They are just to fast and climb too high for the hawg to effectively evade.

 

They can be evaded but the parameters have to be right and you really need to see where they are coming from. being at 24,000MSL helps too.

 

Im glad you put SA-9s in the revision cougar.

 

another very fun mission... Should call it Bagdad 2.0....keep 'em coming buddy.

Great job!. Thanks
