First Mission
It was great to finally lead the Gazelle into battle. Together with a UH-1 as gunship and one for infantry transport we attacked an enemy camp. The Gazelle (me) took an overwatch position from where it took out a couple of AAA. The gunship (Etzu) took out the remaining armed vehicles to clear the way for the transport helo (Sithis). Smooth execution as far as I'm concerned.
Second Mission (CCIP Bombing)
Well, like Sithis said, we are not terribly good at CCIP bombing .
Third Mission
I liked the use of radio navigation aids in the mission. Other than that, the approach to the AO was a bit long and the briefing was simultandously quite long and lacked some important information and structuring. I feel like it could be a good mission if those flaws would be taken care of...
PvP Dogfight
It was Etzu (Su27) and Sithis (MiG21) against myself (M2000C). I guess I've underestimated myself. I was hesitant to fight two Flankers at once, which is why Sithis flew the Mig. That tipped the scale to far in my direction though, wasn't a fair fight...
We played two rounds, in both rounds I took out the Flanker first and then got the MiG. The old Fishbed just can't keep up with the (slightly less old) Mirage and Flanker, even though Sithis managed to get behind me at least once.
The final fight against Sithis got me sweating though because I was running low on fuel. I managed to establish myself on final at the nearest airport with 120 kg of fuel left before Sithis quit the server. That would have been 2 minutes of fuel at best, so a go-around would have been pretty much impossibleÂ
I'm pretty sure that things would have turned out very different with two Flankers though. As long as I'm chasing one of them the other can get up from behind... Would be only fair to try that next time.
And sorry by the way for boasting and strong language, PvP often gets me a bit over excited...
Speeking of boasting:
With the PvP 4 kills yesterday, that makes at least 5 PvP kills for me in the M2000C. Which means I'm now the resident Mirage ace
