corvinus Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Has anyone tried the A10-C Strike mission, which is part of the Instant Action missions that comes with the Persian Gulf map? When I try this mission the F16s providing SEAD kill the SA-6 radars. However after that they get themselves killed. This leaves me and my wingman to eliminate three remaining SA-13 threats, before we can engage the tanks (which is the task of the A-10Cs). Is this a bug in the mission?

howie87 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Probably intentional. The SA-13 is an optically guided SHORAD system which the A-10C is capable of dealing with. The HARM missile is carried by SEAD F-16's is not capable of targeting Strella's due to their lack of radar emission. Typical loadout for SEAD F-16: Sniper / HTS / ECM pods 2 x AGM-88 2 x Tanks 4 x A-A The idea of SEAD is to disable enemy radars or force them to stop emitting long enough to carry out an attack.

corvinus Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 What I don't get is why the F-16's do not dodge the SA-13 missiles. The track radar appears on the RWR in time. At least the A-10C has a enough time to turn away and fly outside of the WEZ. I expected the F16's to RTB as their mission was complete. Guess it doesn't matter much if the A-10C has to take out the SA-13s ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroReady Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Same for me, F16s all got hit after destroying radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
