Dagger71 Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 I've spent about 8 hours the past few days trying the CA campaign (with A10C) but keep finding out that my air units are doing nothing but flying a pattern. This is now starting to piss me off. 1 CAS A10 (3.1) fired 3 mavericks 1 F/A 18 fired a maverick and all other units either got shot out of the sky or like my 2 F16 CAP flight actually AVOID the SU25 formation.. which eventually shoots me down as I start my run on target. I figured my CAP flight would engage anything in their flight path. I don't understand how the AI flights can be managed. what do I need to do to trigger their roles and actually have them engage the enemy?????????? SEAD.. jeez even though I had them fly right over the SAM... didn't even register an action in the damn debriefing screen!! When I set a path .. I take a guess at where they will be neeeded and set ROE to FIRE, but nothing for almost every single aircraft. I believe its 12 Friendly Air units in total and only 2 fire.. the rest get shot down and the ones left ignore the enemy. I am trying to really enjoy this game (and I do), but I need to polish my skills, and I'm tired of the cookie cutter fast missions, which leaves me with the scripted campaign... so I'm not sure what to do anymore. Yes I do try multiplayer (and really enjoy it IF they have Fog of war) , if not, its just a drag flying to an area getting shot down by something you couldn't see because I'm only using a 20 inch monitor so I can't pick out mobile SAMs 10km away with my eyes. I want to continue playing the campaign (and try the others available), but to be playing with a side which seems so incompetent, it's starting to be more of a waste of time. I even tried setting up a Fire target where I know there are SAMs, but of course the SEAD flight dropped their MAVs exactly on the position I had marked (used F6 to watch, and saw them all miss the SAM which were nearby). What am I missing here?
