Badger633 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 The Serpents Head is a Six mission F18C Campaign. It starts in Nevada and ends in the Caucasus region, so both maps are required. (I will be issuing a version just in the Caucasus map area shortly) The campaign is story line based and follows the progress of “Ford” (yourself) and his involvement in a new conflict in the Caucasus Region. As in 2008 this is once again in the beleaguered area of Ossetia and Gori. This conflict is gathering pace at an alarming rate such that the West have sent in a multinational force to the Black Sea in the form of some ground forces but primarily a naval fleet with the USS John C Stennis at its heart. We join “Ford” during his last flight over Nevada, before his unit leaves at first light in the morning for the Black Sea and the Stennis. The campaign missions have been created with resources in mind to help VR users, like myself. The campaign is fully voiced. It has taken a long time to put together, so I hope you enjoy. To successfully play the Campaign through you will need to be familiar with: 1. The use of the 9-line communication system and in particular its use with JTACs when they are lasing for you. 2. Use of the Gun, AIM9X air to air missile, delivery of Mark 83 bombs and AMG65 E laser guided missiles. 3. Use of radio, although most radio messages are trigger based. I have had to introduce radio use to operate runway lights etc in some instances. 4. Landing on the Stennis in various conditions including night time approach. 5. Use of Tacan and ICLS landing system Everything else is covered in the briefs.

Drippy Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Thank you Glyn for this great campaign. I never fly formation as I mainly fly SP. I had so much fun with the first 2 missions so far. Looking forward to the rest. Really fun campaign so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloody Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 (edited) First of all thanks for AWESOME work! I have one question regarding mission 5 (Bomb the Blocks). I approach with CCIP mode on the target, I hit directly in the center of the building and I've noticed that only building is being destroyed and soldier and 3 truck are intact. I also notice that the successful bombing (voice message) is trigger by dead of soldier (am I correct?). I couldn't do this (kill all road block with voice confirmation) without reengage with another bomb or guns. What I'm doing wrong? Any suggestion?

Badger633 Posted February 1, 2019 Author Share Posted February 1, 2019 You should be able to kill the road block with a well placed bomb? Had no problems reported so far and I have run it through many times myself. You are correct the success mission is via a soldiers death. I have had difficulty getting buildings to trigger the success message and so use a soldier within the building who will die when the building explodes. Hope you get through it best of luck.

Bloody Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 (edited) I found that the problem was connected with new DUD logic. I simply was too low on release and bombs doesn't explode :) Edited February 3, 2019 by Bloody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commander Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Dropped the bombs in AUTO mode. Made two approaches from different angles to make sure the target designator sits right on the road block. Gives you comfortable distance to those AAAs.

Biga42 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Mission #2 As a suggestion, turn coms with STN on, because it's hard to land in the dark with no landing lights on. thanks for the campaign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger633 Posted February 27, 2019 Author Share Posted February 27, 2019 I assume you are referring to the Black Sea only Campaign mission 2. If that is the case you should be talking to the Stennis on the way back as per the verbal instructions and accompanying brief notes. This will ensure the lights are on. This is explained in the brief.

Scotch75 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Hey Glyn, Well done on this campaign mate. The scope is fantastic and the voice acting is superb. Everything thing runs silky smooth. My problem is my poor skills/technique. I just can't get past those SA8s ingressing into Gori. I fly very low, fast, jink a little, dump flares, but they still get me. Do you have any tips? Cheers!

Badger633 Posted March 5, 2019 Author Share Posted March 5, 2019 You should be able to contact Stennis when things are dark and you are asked to within the mission.

You can notch them to the right and be a fair bit off course as you pass them, just make sure to be back on course as you approach the waypoint. I was able to notch around them and remain out of their range and still get back on course in time.
