I’m feeling this campaign now - this time tasked for a short distance SEAD, which gives me spare gas to play with…
Loaded up with three canisters of napalm, 2.75" rocket pods, and 4 Sidewinders. I don’t see cluster bombs as an option in the inventory…or I would have taken them…
Other flights doing their thing…
I give my wingman the “high cover” command hoping he will keep an eye out for bandits…
Rolling in on the first AAA site…
…and…that’s a miss…(this no-CCIP isn’t real easy)…
As I’m pulling off the target, I spot a tiny dot rising off the enemy airfield just on the other side of the FEBA. Fangs out…!
I sling three Sidewinders at him and NONE of them hit even though I did get a lock light. These missiles are trash! As I fire my third one, I also pull my gun trigger as we flash by him at 500 knots…
A point blank kill…my first air-to-air kill of the campaign!
Coming back around, I’m getting nervous about more fighters showing up so I go right to the rockets, which seem more effective and easier to use…
Pulling off, I get hit a few times by some AA rounds, but I’m still flying…!
I find another primary target and order my wingman to engage…
I drop on another primary target - a radar and again my bombs are just outside the damage zone…
We have several columns of smoke rising and enough of the primary targets are destroyed to give us a mission success…
I don’t know how I got two kills with rockets but no hit %…
