Effective Range S-25 Rockets ?

[Groove]

Hi,

 

im trying to accomplish the first Su-25T Campaign Mission from the "Flaming Cliffs" Campaign. I have just the S-25 and S-8 unguided rockets.

 

So i fly to my designated attack waypoint and i try to engage the enemies. Its a mix of Shilkas and Iglas but i have no stand-off weapons so most of the time im getting killed by a deadly mix of 23mm slugs and SAMs. I can dodge some of the SAMs but thats all.

 

Any clues ? What is the maximum effective range of the S-25 ?

 

Thx for any info !

Hi Groove, What you need to do is get up to about 5000m, then dive down on the targets. Make sure you pull up and break hard at 3000m while pumping out lots of flares. The Igla's will get shots off at you but at that height they will be easy to dodge.

 

P.S Remember to put on your IR Jammer.

Hi Tartan,

 

i thought about this solution. I will try when im at home. I will report here :)

 

My IR-Antimissile-System is of course on and "hot".

Or, you could do like I did. A "normal" attack on the first shilka, using alot of flares as the Iglas came at me. Then sneak into the valley to avoid the second shilka.

 

After the first shilka is gone, the rest went smooth. Check attached track and try for yoursef. I time compressed the travel to target.
