Campaign

Hi

 

Any tips whilst progressing in the campaign mode.?

 

More so "Interdiction HQ" missions. I cant get close enough to the target zone without a SAM throwing half a dozen missiles at me that take me down. The SMS themselves arnt showing as a target and annoyingly difficult to take out.

 

Wil using a LBG salvo from 10,000ft help ?

 

Cheers

You can call sead using the radio and the f10 menu.

That is, indeed, the best option.

 

Hang back, listen to the radio about AAA and SAM kills, and then let loose your

wingman with missiles on air defenses, as he picks them out nicely.

 

After all these folks help clear a path to the target, flip your ECM and jammers

on, as when they are firing at the bad guys, you'll toss off all your countermeasures.

 

I have finished all 3 campaigns, and converted an A-10A one, but am hungry for more!

Couple tips:

10,000ft is not a good height to be at in terms of SAMs, you'll still be roughly within range of MANPADS, and easily within range of most SAM's. In general the A-10 is just too low and slow to get up and above most radar SAMs

 

Calling in SEAD using F10 and then selecting the flight listed as (SEAD) is a good idea. Keep in mind that it's also a good idea to call in (CAP), otherwise you may just get mowed down by enemy fighters

 

If you have to attack into heavily defended area, mavericks are going to give you a much better standoff range than LGB's (I think, anyone who knows better feel free to correct me!)
