suntrace1 Posted September 3, 2005 Posted September 3, 2005 In 3rd mission from ''South Africa in Angola'' you have to bomb the KUB str site with MiG29. I have tryed every approach - low level and above 8000m, but they always get me. I keep on turning on/off my ECM so that those SA-13 go ballistic after they launch, but they do get a lock eventually. Any good tips would be much appreciated. And no, Su-25T is out of the picture, it has to be a MiG.
Gazehound Posted September 4, 2005 Posted September 4, 2005 The key to defeating one is staying very very low 10m-ish, and flying right up to it. The Kub and Buk sites have a minimum launch range (look it up) so you basically go vertical when you get to it, come straight down in the safe 'cylinder' and take out the radars with large unguided rockets or RBKs. Once the radar(s) are toast the remaining units cannot launch and you can bomb/strafe them as you like. You will get launched at while getting to it but just make sure you get low enough again so that the missile explodes. Dont bother with ECM, you want to know when there has been a launch without concentrating on lookingfor trails. VVS504 Red Hammers
Kula66 Posted September 4, 2005 Posted September 4, 2005 Stay low enough to throw up dirt trails ... and try and mask behind buildings/hills etc. Its great to watch those missiles slam into neaby buildings as you approach!
suntrace1 Posted September 4, 2005 Author Posted September 4, 2005 I forgot to tell that KUB is covered with Buk and Strela sites. If South Africans really did that mission, they are crazy as hell and very skillfull. I managed eventually, after about 15 trys today, low-level - i'm exhausted. In the end i changed my approach, behind the mountains, was chased by 2 MiG-23's and with 7 missiles on my tail when exiting the SAM covered site. Really nerve wrecking mission. Luck was a big factor. And once again the AI performed terribly -i lured the MiG's to chase me so that they wouldn't see the second package that was coming behind me - they took the bate, only that the following MiG-29's didn't fire a single missile at them and they were 6 miles behind them, on their 6 o'clock position. Tnx for the tips, it did help.
