Pizzicato Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Any hints or tips for this mission (Mig-15)? I've learned (the hard way) to stay well clear of Hill 39 and its various short range SAMs. The Su-25s with their R-60s, on the other hand, are murdering me. I can consistently get two of the four bad guys, but I invariably get nailed by the others. I've tried this mission 10+ times and it's starting to drive me insane. I know there's the option to skip the mission, but my pride won't let me (yet). :) i7-7700K @ 4.9Ghz | 16Gb DDR4 @ 3200Mhz | MSI Z270 Gaming M7 | MSI GeForce GTX 1080ti Gaming X | Win 10 Home | Thrustmaster Warthog | MFG Crosswind pedals | Oculus Rift S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apache600 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Hey there pizzicato, Haha, pride can be a dangerous thing :) Here's some possible pointers for you! couple possible tips: Always check your six. Not the biggest deal when you're hunting, because you're always looking at that point. But once you find a target, one tends to fixate on it. That's the perfect opportunity to take one up the tail. I typically try and keep the speed up, and also stay low when able. There is a friendly Igla at the FARP, as well as the "west" forces ... the southern group of them. You might be able to use that against them as well. I may need to tone the R-60's down a bit. I just checked, and all 4 of them are armed. I could have sworn I only armed 2 of them with R-60's. (jeez, just checked it. The F-86 version has them toned down and only 2 of them are carrying AIM-9's. consider this to be patched in the future) 8.4 victory conditions: As long as you shoot down 2 of the enemy aircraft you'll be able to pass the mission. After that 2nd one is downed, and 3 minutes has elapsed, the other 2 retreat and you get a radio message telling you that you're cleared for RTB. If you shoot down 3 of them, than 1 mintue after the 3rd one is downed, you'll get the same scenario. If you shoot down all 4, well ... I think it's obvious.

Looking forward to the patched version. :D i7-7700K @ 4.9Ghz | 16Gb DDR4 @ 3200Mhz | MSI Z270 Gaming M7 | MSI GeForce GTX 1080ti Gaming X | Win 10 Home | Thrustmaster Warthog | MFG Crosswind pedals | Oculus Rift S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizzicato Posted August 28, 2016 Author Share Posted August 28, 2016 Just managed to complete the mission thanks to your hints and tips, Apache. Thanks! I ended up "cheating" ever so slightly by... ...taking out one of the Su-25s while it was on its attack run on the forward C&C site. Once I'd taken that down, I stayed low by the FARP until I saw our infantry engaging an aircraft with a Stinger. The Stinger missed, but it allowed me to spot and then drift onto the tail of one of the -25Ts. I then hammered it and fled for home as fast as my -15 would carry me. Thanks again! I'm loving the campaign. :thumbup: i7-7700K @ 4.9Ghz | 16Gb DDR4 @ 3200Mhz | MSI Z270 Gaming M7 | MSI GeForce GTX 1080ti Gaming X | Win 10 Home | Thrustmaster Warthog | MFG Crosswind pedals | Oculus Rift S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
