Nu-NRG Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 Yesterday I was playing the Ammo Depot SP mission (you have to destroy two ammo depots and there is one ZEUS and SA8 next to it) well those two are dead before they know it. But there is also a SA15 and tunguska in the valley. The SA15 was kinda nagging me the whole time so this time I decided to go hunt it. There I was flying low all the time and just jumped on it over ridge and used boresight gun indicator. Killed it with a short burst . RWR was no longer spiking so I circled around to confirm a kill. Yap he is dead. NOW! Here is the question, how to deal with tunguska? Jumping on it over the ridge seemed fine for the moment and even one missile that was fired, missed me, but second after that, he ripped me with cannons :P Would it even be doable from low alt or should I really just stick high? I know I know, SEAD is there to do this job, but it was one of those "lets see what happens / lets see what can be done by one self" fun moments :) Aviate - Navigate - Communicate
HiJack Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 Long range SAM installations (SA15) without low range protections is all targets for your GAU-8/A 30 mm cannon. Just fly low and use terrain masking. Protected by a TOR as well it would be a suicide mission :P
159th_Viper Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 SA-15 (Tor 9M331) is short-range :) As regards the Tung with it's relatively short range, Maverick is your best bet.

miguelaco Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 Yes, though very fun, gun is not the weapon of choice for SEAD role. I find easy to kill SA-19 and SA-15 with mavs.

I forgot to mention that all I had was GAU8 :P So in short I get the feeling that I will be toast in GAU8 scenario :P 1 Aviate - Navigate - Communicate

HiJack Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 (edited) SA-15 (Tor 9M331) is short-range :) As regards the Tung with it's relatively short range, Maverick is your best bet. Yes, sorry. I was thinking of the SA-3000 witch is defeated with cannon runs if not protected. EDIT: From SA-11 to SA-3000 Edited June 18, 2011 by HiJack
Nu-NRG Posted June 18, 2011 Author Posted June 18, 2011 Tho I will say this. Watching SEAD jets do the magic ... makes me feel sorry for the guys below us. Carnage :D Aviate - Navigate - Communicate
