Mission 3 refuelling - is it particularly difficult?

[imacken]

I just cannot do the refuelling in Mission 3.  I have tried and tried many times.  I have successfully done other AAR, e.g. Mission 2, but this is impossible for me.

 

Is it more difficult than most, or is it just me?

Should be the same. But now after the update you can skip it using the F10 menu!

This campaign forced me* to actually learn how the AAR, and I'm very pleased that I did so.  Now I would say it's not difficult at all, and I find myself gassing up in nearly every mission where the opportunity presents itself, probably much like a real fighter pilot would.  It went from extremely stressful (and impossible) to now relaxing.

The same is true for all other aspects of flying and fighting the Hornet; some of which are very intimidating at first glance.  Dedicate the time to learning and practicing and they become second nature.

 

*Actually, forced is not fair.  I purchased the campaign, but then knew that being able to competently fly the F/A-18C was expected of me, and so I dedicated time and effort to learning the required skillset before commencing.  Baltic's approach of making AAR optional (save function, fuel management) is wonderful, and very generous to new players.
