Downloaded and will report back thanks @schurem
SIIIIGH! 
I wish I had an A-6 
… I’m sure I could do it.

I just gave the easy one a shot in the hornet without doing any SEAD. It’s quite possible to blow up the ammo dump by just screaming in hard, low and fast. SA-2 sucks 
The random one is more fun though, good luck with that. I updated it on my end with a couple of signal flare telltales so one knows beforehand what they’re going up against.

What’s the trick to get triple A and Sam’s to reload?
Put a standard Ural 375 or 5 ton next to the unit in question.
Did the random one, one sortie with Harrier was all it took. 2xAGM-122, 4xGBU-12, 1xGBU-16, LITENING, ECM pod, gunpod. SA-8s on the short end probably made it easier than it would’ve been otherwise, but they ate up my Sidearms which meant I had to bounce around with the Gadflies. Made them shoot all their missiles into the mountains, came around with GBU-12, bombed the launchers, used GBU-16 and GBU-12 on the ammo dump, plus all gunpod ammo (shot at 15,000ft, hard deck 10,000ft). Ammo dump blew when I was returning to Creech for a second run.

You probably drew the medium groups on your run, the hard flak is tunguskas and shilkas and sa-13 and TOR. It would have cut you to ribbons.
I got murdered badly trying to run through the medium flak. I should have done some more harm before running in at the ammo dump huh.
You had fun with it @Franze?

Enough fun to give it another go! I tried to run Viggen but it kept crashing DCS when I tried to build a custom mission plan, so gave it a run with the F-14. I got easy that time, SA-2 and SA-8. Coasted at 40,000ft and notched the SA-2s missiles, GBU-12’d the Fan Song, came back around and GBU-10’d the warehouse.
The trick to the SA-6 and SA-11 is to force it to waste ammo, eventually they run out of shots and there’s a gap. The SA-15, SA-8, and SA-19 can be avoided by coasting above 25,000ft. Can’t speak for the flak as I see them shooting a lot but I haven’t seen anything hit close.
The flak are window dressing tbh. Just for the effect of having black puffs in the sky.
I might give the TOR orders to shoot munitions, that oughta F with the plan, non?
Im so happy with having worked out how to randomize things in DCS. This gon’ be fun :]
Yes and no. Mavericks, Sidearms, all ARMs, cruise missiles, glide bombs, and everything like that will be targeted by the Gauntlet, but GBUs and everything else will slip right through.
I’ve noticed that DCS will lock up if I try to sign a Viggen as a Ground Attack mission. The solution seems to be to hit Save, exit out of DCS using the three-finger-salute, restart, go into Mission Editor and, select and delete the Viggen. CAS seems to work but unfortunately does not have there same options in the advanced settings.

It seems to be a particular problem with one of the mission cartridge types, if I scroll backwards to plan 20 I’m OK, but it crashes on selecting 7. Not a big deal, just need to look into how to use Bk90 without a waypoint.
Can you? I thought it needed a waypoint as its aim point. Perhaps an entry into the nav/tactical computer…hmmmm 
I thought I read somewhere you could do a fix with the radar, like you can with the RB-15.
Hmmmm…so according to my AJS 37 Viggen Weapons Chart, the BK90 needs a “Radar(fix point)Mx”.
So, theoretically, you would only need a B point somewhere on the chart/in the jet’s system. Then you could use the radar to update the B point as you would update any Nav point, then change it to a target M point.
I may try that. The idea would be to have a target that reflects radar energy. Typically that is something big like a bridge. Maybe vehicles parked in garrison?
I may work up a couple of missions.
Yesterdays’ patch broke my amateur randomisations. Re-uploading the random ones with a more elegant and working solution to randomisation!
