I got tired of Nevada and threw myself straight into a Liberation 3.0 campaign, Vietnam-style. Sortie No1: Iron Hand Gudauta. Task: Suppress an SA-2 NNW of the airfield while other A-4s suppress ADA sites, with Buffs coming in to bomb the runway after. (Mix of in-game screens and video screengrabs).
Singleton Launch
En route
On ingress I thought I saw fighters, so I ducked behind the mountains, which made me a bit late on my TOT. Not to mention dangerous to approach from the mountains with no ability to duck behind them or get below the SA-2’s WEZ if it fired on me. Diving down the slope I let loose both my Shrikes and took out the track radar right as it was firing on another friendly in the package.
Mopped up the launchers with Rockeyes and guns.
Then the Buffs came and did their thing, knocking out Gudauta airfield.
Culminating in three go arounds and a 1-wire because the Scooter is by far the most difficult aircraft I’ve ever tried to land. It sinks like a brick as soon as I’m on-speed AoA.
