Reading the manual… I am very interested in trying this a bit tonight
Ok, so the first sortie, didn’t go all that well.
Cold started my Huey, loaded troops, and as soon as I reached 100 (one hundred) feet I got blotted out of the sky by a Tunguska. Immediatly after which, DCS crashed.
Uhm.
One more time with feelings!

Found the culprit- there was a column with said Tunguska, two tanks and a BRDM literally strolling by the Al Minhad base. 2 scant miles off!
Not my luckiest moment.
I wonder if that group is heading south to try and recapture Al Ain?

Yes..those armor columns can wreak havoc..and can shoot you down when you don’t even know they are there..

That’s funny. That’s exactly what I did. I grabbed an A-10A and went simple old school.. you have to respect the same vehicles that travel in those convoys though.
I found that occasionally using the GMT radar helps find those convoys a bit earlier so you can choose your ambush spot. If they show up on the doorstep of a lightly defended FARP they can demolish it and turn it from red to blue in less than 10 minutes.
Aaaaand of course a Flanker came out of the woodwork to spoil the hunt

You need a viper driver on your wing 
Be there in a bit. Discord for voice comms?

Yes, that is what Frog and I were discovering. It would definitely help to have a human CAP flight. You can order AI CAP but it is relatively expensive at 500 credits…. And their performance is pretty spotty. We also found it was really useful for someone to be watching the F10 map acting like an AWACS. Giving headings, distances, and escape route was invaluable information.

Guys it’s 10am for me here and on a work phone call - you’re killing me, I wanna play!..
Al Minhad also had some extra ground units assigned as well @BeachAV8R but not sure how to work them - the ones to the south in @komemiute pic above I think
Yeah unfortunately I can’t jump on the server either right now. There may be a way to control the tanks via the F10 menu to make them go engage.
And if anybody can figure out the support menu in order to order an artillery strike on them or something feel free to spend the credits.
Ok, I managed to order the tanks south of the Airfield to attack the invaders.

Tried to jump on, but crashed out loading into an Apache. Take 2

Have them shoot the BMP first, they are a menace.
It’s interesting because in the support menu there is an option to add tanks and other things but I did not see a way where I could enter them via combined arms to manually drive around and shoot things.
I’m in my car driving so not much help other than cheerleading.
