AAR TIME!
Good morning everybody, nice flying once again. Sadly I will not make it next weekend, but I will set up some extra Coop flying options the week before Easter if anybody is interested.
Training
Just some practice with various planes and weapon systems. It is nice to see that we are quickly approaching the point where we will have 5 completely mission ready Hog drivers. Â
AFAC+4 CAS anybody?!
Shadow on the sun
Holy shit this mission is hard and I think we spend over three hours on it. I only died once, but RTBed on one engine twice. Even with the more primitive AAA, when it is ambushing you and it is hidden, so you can not line up from far away, they are still killers. Anyway, apart from the long flight times, once we got there we had some nice moments with coordinated attacks and convoys having 4 A-10 raining down on them one after the other.
Hawg 1-1 limping home on one engine
Hawg 1-1 and Hawg 1-2 lined up after repairs. Hawg 1-3 was forced to go into the grass after landing due to battle damage
Sonic Boom
Kind of prove of concept mission, on how well different fast movers can work together to provide CAS. It worked alright, but I think we need to adopt some real life procedures if we want to make it more coordinated.
Stacking CAS comes to mind.
But flying anything on afterburner is pure joy, espacially when I get to shoot some rockets while I am at it ;D .
Kutaisi Rocket Program
Same concept aircraft wise, but with a little more resistance and story attached to it.
We lost quite a few aircraft, but I think most were due to us goofing around since it was already past 1 in the morning.
I noticed that airport and target need to be a little further apart. So I will probably set up another mission like this and hopefully we can try it when everybody is a little more awake and utilize the ability to cover one another more.
What do you guys think about this kind of mission and what would you like to see added/changed in the future?
Thats what I call a "Party-Mix"
Highnoon
Just a little Dogfighting PvP with modern jets. Sadly both Etzu and me had problems with our set up, but it still made for some great pictures.
I love this kind of stuff even when I get obliterated, because it is a quick hop in fight hop out kind of deal without much transit. Espacially after or between long missions.
Come on poke him with the refuelling probe!
