F-15 mission advice

[LC34]

*SPOILERS*

 

Im playing the f-15 FC3 campaign and I think its the third mission Im having a bear of a time completing. The one where you fly through the valleys, pop up and shoot down the enemy AWACS.

 

I can get a HOJ fire an AIM-120 at the planes but I seem to never hit one. Also the enemy CAP fires off at me first and I usually am shot down with my wingman and other F-15s that are in support never doing a thing. Even if I send my wingman orders to complete mission and rejoin.

 

What am I doing wrong? Should I even bother flying in the valleys for a hit and run surprise or just try to use my long range 120s from farther out and higher up?

Post a track or tacview of that mission so that the F-15 jocks can have a look at it and tell you where you are going wrong.

The missiles have bugs, no point in doing campaign with broken missiles and broken landing gear. Fly the F-15 instant action ;)

That mission gave me a LOT of trouble as well.

My advice is this: +1 to what everyone previous said, the missiles are broken and worthless outside of 10 nm. I But i will say this: the AWACS is the only target on your scope that doesn't have a jammer, and I've also seen one take 3 amraams and live. My advice is stay low, use your rwr rather than the flight plan to fly right towards the AWACS. Once you're inside 15 miles give em your whole payload, turn around and burn hard for friendly lines. That's how I did it.

Also keep your eyes peeled for et's the Russian love to use em close in

Like I said, the missiles are broken for now. They're WIP. Currently, the bleed energy at an alarming rate and dont reach a high enough top speed.
