Habicht
finally some A10 action again. Sithis was JTAC and send us to different targets that were attacking his outpost. it went quite well for a time until we were to attack a AAA position in a vilage a bit to his north.
I though i had seen its position when following in Manuel on his first run, but when i tried to get it afterwards turned out I was wrong. the fucked up thermal image and the insufficient coordinates (guess we need more digits) brought me too close tho the AAA and I got my self shot down, but was able to eject.
afterwards the others tried to hunt a Convoi closing in with several Tunguska and Shilka. turned out I was not the only one having problems Spotting stuff but when i was jsut taking off i was able to listen to manuel running in and sithis calling out missile launches for him to evade. he managed to evade 6 rockets on 3 runs and even evaded one when he was out of chaff and flares... lucky basard xD
when I was back on station i got my sights on the convoi and did a run in on the convoi firing six mavericks at a subotimal range and picture as something started launching rockets at me (which should have told me it wasnt AI as they only fire if you have your back on them or are going directly for them). I hit two vehicles and some trees arround my missiles had locked on to. later I tried a run with rockets, had i noticed the AI was behavind weird I wouldnt have done that but this way I was shot down while unloading my rockets in the general direction iof the convoi and had to eject again.
Outpost
While our AFAC A-10 was still warming up I took my P-51 to the air to get me a clear picture. I saw tracers coming up and holes being shot into my left wing and after finding the friendly outpost started searching for the shooter. after a little while it started firing at me again and i had a location to attack. I got a little close and ripped of half a wing on the ground or the target and thus found out that the p-51 is quite stable with 3/4 of its original wingspan and one half wing on fire. I managed to get it on the ground but made a mistake to brake too early. i rolled arround a bit but survived and was able to get out of the plane. was quite fun .

I am really starting to love the P51 and loved this mission. Sithis(P51) and me(P51) went for the northern convoi after spraying the southern convoi to slow it down a bit for Manuel(P51) and Misha(Uh-1).
I fucked up my first run as I had not spotted the convoi myself and searched for it in the wrong part of the town so Sithis had the first run on the convoi and disabled the AAA truck. on my second run I came in following the same road as the convoi and was able to spray them with rockets and gun. sithis and me then did runs quickly following up on each other thanks to the agile P51 and had the convoi quickly destroyed.
We then turned south to help mob up a few enemy vehicles of the southern convoi which did blend in with the background a little too well. Afterwards most of us landed well back in Batumi.
Training map
we fooled arround on the training map a bit more in the end tried some buddylasing with the A-10 for the M2000 and generally just played with the different aircraft and targets.
