Gun Run
Nice warm up and even though the runway was littered with A10-C with broken gear, I managed to land mine without incident.
Poti South-Central
The AA vehicles in the tank colum at the southern end of Poti where easy to take out with 2 of my 4 mavericks (sorry sithis, I just had to pack more kaboomz)
while I was trying to spot the other AA I had one of my lesser bright moments and decided to fly upside down to not fly over poti but still keep my lightning pod pointed at the target...
guess what, I starved my engines that way and had to restart them.... or rather, start my APU 15k feet start apu generator 14k feet, start right hand engine 13,5k feet, start left hand engine, 13k feet, try to put force on right hand engine, engine dies again, 12,5k feet, reboot right hand engine 11k feet, now put force on lefthand engine, leveled out at 10k feet, started right hand engine waited and finally was able to gain altitude and restart all the systems that had been shut down by the loss of electrical power 8 minutes and finally all systems back up at 22k feet
after wards manuel and me destroyed the EWR and the long range launchers and the action moved on into the town where we quickly detected the presence of manpads, so I decided to stay above 20k feet and do some recon to try and find the launchers and take them out. It took me quite a while but I managed to find the launcher and kill the guy. while I remained high up the others did the rocket runs to support the LAVs.
In the end only an enemy FARB remained with some ZSU emplacements to guard it, it proved quite sturdy but in the end we managed to destroy it.
Enguri River
while the m2000 kept ready the SEAD SU moved on the SA10 site while us A10s moved on a tunguska site nearby. the tung proved tricky as we had to climb into the envelope of the sa10s radar to get a line of sight and fire our mavericks.
After that we moved on destroy the SA10 site, unfotunately misha took some heavy hits ("I have been better") and had to RTB.
I started with lasing for Manuel and his second bomb detonated between 3 of the lauchers and destroyed them. after that I was on mob up duty and destroyed the rest of the vehicles with GBU 38 and moved to the last objective, some APC and tanks on a border crossing.
since I was flying over 10k feet the manpads weren't able to fire at me and it was just an question of finding the vehicles and tropping boms on them. after the bombs where cone there was still enough ammo in the gun to go close and personal on the last 2 APC.
Triforce
The last mission of the evening was P51 against ground targets. as soon as we got to the allied roadblocks they started reporting targest, we quickly got visual contact on them and turned to engage, i went for the ZSU which I killed bus also was killed by it before my rockets impacted.
when I got back to the area a hostile convoy was moving on the street and I joindes manuel and sithis engaging them destroying some of the vehicles until i ripped off my wing on a powerline.
when I got into the area wwith my third plane another convoy was in the area and being engaged by sithis. i saw him flying low and firing at them and loosened some rockets at extreme distance... two found their target, but at the same time i had to see that sithis was much quicker to get back to the convoy than i would have expected and the explosion of one of my rockets blew sithis p51 to pieces while destroying the last vehicle.
