Taproot Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 Hi. I know that A-10 suck at this, but none the less.. This is the mission. atm I am unsure what weapon to use. Maverick seems like the only viable option tho.. This is however the problem: We use 65G, but we are struggling to get lock. When I get close enough I get a lock, but for some reason the Mav dont fire. You have any ideas why not? We get a lock with 65d, but they are not strong enough... What mavericks do you use against big ships? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
mjeh Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 Mavericks are sometimes troublesome against ships. I prefer dive bombing with dumb bombs
Taproot Posted April 28, 2013 Author Posted April 28, 2013 Bombing with dumb bombs is not viable. Ship to smart. :p [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

What mavericks do you use against big ships? Use force correlate. It's designed like that to get a lock on large targets like buildings.
schroedi Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 You are sure that you didn't select the training mav? I did that and thought there is a bug and later noticed it.
Yellonet Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 Which ship are you trying to destroy? I would like to try it myself :) i7-2600k@4GHz, 8GB, R9 280X 3GB, SSD, HOTAS WH, Pro Flight Combat Pedals, TIR5
Jona33 Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 12 mk-82 AIRS and a 10-50feet AGL approach, should let you destroy all ships include the piotr velkily/Moscow. (Don't try it with Kuznetsov, that thing has a lot of guns. :D) Always remember. I don't have a clue what I'm doing
Taproot Posted April 28, 2013 Author Posted April 28, 2013 Which ship are you trying to destroy? I would like to try it myself :) the piotr velkily :) Thank you all. Will check the Force Correlate out. I dont think MK-82 air will work either, the piotr velkily has a lot of guns too.. What are Training Mavs named? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Taproot Posted April 28, 2013 Author Posted April 28, 2013 Ty! And guess what I had... :p [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Sorin Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 Looking forward to the mission file (if you are so kind to post it here).
Nealius Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 I thought there was a model of the Maverick specifically designed to strike below the waterline on ships? I want to say it's the G model but all the Maverick models confuse the hell out of me.
HiJack Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 The AGM-65G is the only one for this sort of attack. Force correlate will not work if the ship is moving. There is no problem getting a lock, you just set TGP to White hot and lock up when in range.
SUBS17 Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 LGBs work good for moving ships.:thumbup: [sIGPIC] [/sIGPIC]
Taproot Posted April 29, 2013 Author Posted April 29, 2013 Looking forward to the mission file (if you are so kind to post it here). Sorry, I it wont be shared since it needs many players to be playable. Recommended is 4 A-10s on boat-attack and 2 on Sam-attack. Also you need 2-3 Ka-50 for an attack in the cover zone for the A-10s... Not to mention a quite "big" mission/tactic brief... I thought there was a model of the Maverick specifically designed to strike below the waterline on ships? I want to say it's the G model but all the Maverick models confuse the hell out of me. This might be correct as it seemed that when I finally got a lock it looked like it was under the water line. :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Yellonet Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 I have tried this a bit now, and I can't lock up the ship with either TGP or Maverick until I get really close. I don't remember having this problem before :huh: There doesn't seem to be any problem with the picture as I get very good contrast from the ship against the water. i7-2600k@4GHz, 8GB, R9 280X 3GB, SSD, HOTAS WH, Pro Flight Combat Pedals, TIR5
Yellonet Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 LGBs work good for moving ships.:thumbup: Unless the ships are shooting back :) i7-2600k@4GHz, 8GB, R9 280X 3GB, SSD, HOTAS WH, Pro Flight Combat Pedals, TIR5
TeeJay82 Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 (edited) If you think you had problems tappie... try standing still and guide a couple of 25ml`s from the 50 :P I think the bastard hit me with 4 missiles before i hit the deck... from 50m altitude Edited April 29, 2013 by TeeJay82
SUBS17 Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Unless the ships are shooting back :) I have a mission where I take on 4 ships and some of them shoot back.:thumbup: And I take them all out but I think I only use mavericks for that forgotten the type lol(the one with the biggest charge). So some ships can be taken out by a single A-10.:joystick: BTW Mk82s and 84s are good for ships depending on the size.:thumbup: [sIGPIC] [/sIGPIC]

SUBS17 Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 It depends on the air defences, if its a IR SAMs/AAA you're against you can do high alt bombing with LGBs. So check the tgts capabilities first. [sIGPIC] [/sIGPIC]
adese Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 We use 65G, but we are struggling to get lock. When I get close enough I get a lock, but for some reason the Mav dont fire. You have any ideas why not? What mavericks do you use against big ships? Once you slew the Mav to the target and are in range of the target you need to hit TMS Up Short to lock the target. Sometimes you'll be within the range bracket but it won't lock - this usually means the Mav needs to get closer still. Just hit TMS Up Short every second until you have lock. You'll know you have it locked because the crosshairs will begin to shake. Then you can rifle off.
sapounas Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 I try to destroy the Moskva cruiser, with no success yet. Next thing i'm gonna do is fly around the ship, untill it has no missiles left. As wikipedia says 64 S-300 and 40 OSA, so it could take some time... :pilotfly:
sapounas Posted June 8, 2013 Posted June 8, 2013 OK i did it. I used 6 GBU-10 and 3 GBU-12, and voila Keep flying behind mountains so that the radar always loose lock and s-300 missiles are destroyed midair. When she shoots 20 s-300 then she will not track you again (even if she has another 44 missiles and 40 OSA to throw to you). Then fly up to angels 10 throw everything and BOOM. MOSKVA is dead with only one A-10. I will try the Kirov and post back to you :)
