Wali763 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Hi. My forumsearch did give me nothing, so sorry for the maybe obvious "noob" question: Im flying the first Caucasus A-10C-mission, called "CSAR" and am not able to finish it. It seems, the recue-helis always get shot down by infantry. I was able to kill some of them with a CBU, but that was luck, since I did not exactly know, where they were. I tried to spot them with the TGP using infrared, but that did not help since single troups have only little IR-signature, especiall in the forest. Can anyone give me a hint, how to find/spot them? I dont want to turn on lables. Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

razo+r Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 If they are in the forrest, then it's almost impossible. If you see tracers, go in for guns, other weapons don't penetrate trees in DCS. If they are in the open, go with TGP or go low and use maximum zoom to spot the little black dots that stand out rather cearly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wali763 Posted February 6, 2020 Author Share Posted February 6, 2020 (edited) Hi and thx for the input. I got no coordinates. But I turned on labels to try some things. First thing: its impossible to spot infantry in the forest with a TGP. Out in the open, its ok, but in the forest I dont have a chance. Second thing: the mission seems to be bugged anyway. I clear all enemies around the target (shot down pilot) including AAA-site in the vicinity and call in the helicopters. They report to have picked up the pilot but then hover around the pick-up-area and after some time crash without enemy-interaction. I put my A-10C on AP and watched in F2-mode. In the report aferwards, there is no mention that one of the two helicoters get hit only one line "pilot dead" second line "crash" Edited February 6, 2020 by Wali763 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wali763 Posted February 6, 2020 Author Share Posted February 6, 2020 Heres a pic of the report. Also above, there is no mention of the UH-60 being hit. But thats actually not related to my question, which kind of is obsolet anyway. Should have thought of the label-trick before. :noexpression: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3WA Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 We don't have true binoculars in game, so I just use Zoom for the small stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puma Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 I dont know that exact mission, but in a similar csar mission in the maple flags campaign, there was a trigger to auto-kill the helos if you let the helo arrive before completing radio comms validation of the pilot. I watched the tac view and realized the infantry getting the kill just appear out of nowhere. Try making sure you are responding to radio calls and following any instructions from the briefing.

Emmy Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Before the latest version of the Caucuses map, the enemy infantry used to advance on the downed pilot across an open meadow. That area is now covered in trees. IMO, that canned mission needs an overhaul.

I dont want to turn on lables. Thx For this mission, I employed multiple CBU-97s on the target area (trees) to eliminate all the soldiers/troops that were in cover. Not the best solution, but certainly the most effective. I change my weapon load out for most of the preset missions, as they are rarely equipped correctly, in my opinion. Give that a try, should be good to go.

QuiGon Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 First thing: its impossible to spot infantry in the forest with a TGP. Out in the open, its ok, but in the forest I dont have a chance. Welcome to realism! Infantry feels at home in forests as they give them great cover and camouflage. It can be pretty difficult to find infantry in a forest even if you're just standing a few meters away! It's much harder from the air a couple of hundred or thousand feet away and moving fast!

MadDog-IC Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 the mission is bugged, the helos blow up because they try to land on trees Seems that ED may have updated there A-10c single mission set (Most likely multilanguage) and have reverted to old broken missions in 2.5.6 Openbeta, where as in the Testers nightly version they are still my fixed versions they introduced some time back.
