HOW TO BEAT GEORGIAN WAR A03.3?!

[Voiden]

As topic. I've tried this mission FOR ABOUT FIVE HOURS NOW and I still die every time! Everything goes fine untill the offensive is past the bridge, where the blue forces have some sort of ZOMFGSUPER defense. The friendly forces keep following the road, and end up getting shot one at a time as soon as the pop up beside a hillside. This, without them shooting back whatsoever. Not a single shot before they die, one at a time. All the time!

 

I run with labels on, and everything else in simulation mode - but I die every goddamn time before I even find the target labels! The blue forces have 3-5 tanks placed in a line behind a hill, and these (together with the ZOMFGALOT of AAA) further back makes my day short, so to speak.

 

I've finished the whole "Deployment" campaign without any problem whatsoever, but this mission (which is the FIRST on the whole campaign!) is just too much for me. I'm therefore asking you guys for help and suggestions now. I've tried attacking from above the mountain, with the ridge as cover - but no go there - the TANKS shoot me down before I even manage to to target anything...

 

Is this campaign or mission BUGGED, or is it supposed to be this way?! I've tried following all the waypoints aswell, but STILL get a mission fail if I RTB after pushing through beyond the bridge.

 

HELP PLEASE?! :joystick:

Welcome to the forums first!

 

I've flown the mission for the first time to see what you mean. It is indeed difficult. However, I got quite far for a first time without labels and outside views. I didn't get shot down either (although was hit by a Strela but was able to continue). I received a 50% score though, I killed many units together with my wingman, but ultimately the friendly convoys were destroyed.

 

I will probably be more succesfull a second time. I've got a track here, but notice that these tracks sometimes have a mind of their own. One time I flew a mission and turned back safely while in the track I was shot down. So I hope this one works well. At least you should be able to see how I work.

 

Finally, my tips:

 

1. Read the briefing properly
   
2. Datalink Ingress on your PVI nav points (select navpoint in PVI, confirm flashing square on ABRIS, Hit DL ingress) Your skhval will automaticly look into the direction of enemy tanks when turned on. (points 1 and 5 are primary targets)
   
3. Use your wingman to attack tanks. In the end he killed an equal amount of tanks as I did.
   
4. If you get lased then start your evasive maneouvres (Move fast with attacker at 9/3 O'clock). When they lase you, you're probably already within their engagement range.
   
5. The mountains to the left are safe, you can use them for cover
   
6. Zoom in for to make spotting targets more easy. Is only relevant when not using labels, though.
   
7. The units in the two towns are located behind some hills if you stay too low. I noticed this too late in the mission

Just leave the track. I just watched it and these tracks are pointless. I stopped playing the track when my wingman got shot down. He was never shot down during the actual mission. I also fired A vikhr into the ground - I never did.
