Syria map airbase defence instant action hack

Recommended Posts

So to try to beat this mission I’m doing the following:

 

I taxi straight out, arm the seat and launch immediately behind the two Vipers,

 

I am in full burner and turn immediately to a heading of 115 degrees and stay low while accelerating to M0.9

 

As soon as I reach M0.9 I pitch up to around 20-25 degrees and maintain full burner in the climb

 

Ill set ECM on to jam, fence in and switch on RWR / DL and go straight to AA mode. 

When I hear my wingman call mudspike, I tell him to engage bandits, I have no idea whether he does or not. Seems like he’s a pretty shit wingman. 
 

On passing angles 20, I come out of mode and go for auto acquisition of any aircraft ahead of me, they’re all hot and hostile, I start firing at every individual TWS lock that show a range of less than 30 miles, which by this stage they all do. The most I can kill in TWS mode is about three aircraft before I get shot down. If I go SAM defensive, I’ll miss that one but then I’m a sitting duck for the next and I can’t get into them. Beaming them (at 90 degree with chaff doesn’t seem to help unless I dive defensive) 
 

I’d appreciate any tips from some of the more advanced players.

Have completed this Instant Action mission once or twice.

 

My tactic has been to take off ASAP and accelerate/climb while keeping the incoming aircraft on my 3 o'clock. Once the main body have passed and/or been engaged by the F16s turn in and start lobbing AIM120s at the trailing SU34s. You have to watch out for the escorts turning in on you, but normally I find the enemy flights degenerate into a bunch of individual aircraft that can be picked off.

 

Your wingmen are good missile absorbers while doing this.

That’s a great idea. I’ve been assuming that they’re too close and might get their weapons off before I turn back in but I’ll certainly give it a crack. I might also run one sortie where I run the other way and see when they do release weapons. 
 

Thanks again.

Umm...the Patriot site is usually a bit of a mess by the end of the scenario with this tactic, but by the strikers are as well...
