Brings me back to *spoiler alert* Strike Commander finale, where you steal the YF-22 and dogfight the boss who is flying the YF-23.
What bomb/armament in the FW190A8 am I supposed to use to kill the USS Samuel Chase? I can barely scratch the thing, either that or I am getting the fuzing wrong.
I made a small mission where I take off out of Incirlik, Turkey, fly over the little gulf, and then hit a small airfield just over the mountains.
It’s like a 10-15 minute flight.
The airfield has a nice arrangement of tanks and trucks with some air defense emplacements as well.
At my home base, I placed a variety of my owned modules there set to client. Some are set to take off from the runway, some are dark and cold.
This allows me to boot up the mission and it’ll take me to the screen asking me which plane I want.
If I have the time, I can pick the plane slot that requires engine start… if I’m in a hurry I’ll pick the slot that’s ready to take off.
I noticed that I had made the air defenses too hard… and the mission forced me to pick a SEAD capable plane and destroy the air defenses BEFORE I flew in with the A-10…… and that took too long if I was just wanting to practice dropping LGB’s on tanks…. So I went into the mission editor and “destroyed” the SAM’s and saved the mission.
Now I have two missions to choose from. Mission 01, and Mission 01 (after SEAD).
Those two missions allow me to play as short or as long as I want.
Awesome, yeah I have similar setup, but I really ought to do your Incirlik - Hatay flight and fly Syria more. I just go Batumi - Kobuleti because DCS comfort zone haha
Load up my Nellis defense mission with 3 sets of CAPs and two PATRIOTS battery vs incoming TU-22 attempting to bomb the hangers, led by Su-24 and Su-34 doing S/DEAD, as well as featuring J-11s doing DEAD by means of absorbing all the IR MANPADS.
The fireworks the AI can put out worth that limited time.
More now with improved clouds, missile logic, and AI flight model.
Haha that sounds hella fun, I should set up something similar!
What's next? AuthentKit Merlin engine?
I wouldn't mind one of those $80 transparent plastic model kits for 10 year olds, but for the Merlin engine!
I love cosmetic upgrades of ground assets, especially the air defence units, but if anything is gonna happen first, I think HMMWV and variants (TOW, Avenger, etc.) and Abrams should be top of the priority before we get another bus or container ship :)
I wonder if after the WW2 AI updates they'll spin around on the tarmac and crash upon attempting takeoff like I do half the time.. :D
