1 and 3 took off and climbed to FL320 to attempt to kill the two Flap Lids that had been evading us for so long. 1 took the northern on while 3 targeted the southern. Enemy air was relatively quiet and we had no issues approaching the target.
We did have a SA17 spike to our north, halfway between SPs 5 and 6, but they did not engage us.
While we had the SPs of the two Flap Lids they kindly lit up for us on the HAD and our respective shots killed them. MS.
We had greyed out "6" symbols on the HAD but they did not light up. 1 tried to bait them for 3 to fire at but without success.
After Cyborg completed their attacks we turned for home. We had two MiG29s on our tail so we turned to engage. Both of 1's missiles fell short but 3 had a kill.
As they ended up in a fight with Grippens we turned for home and a safe landing. |

Formation take-off led to an uneventful ingress, we held at STP 5 at FL250 for Cajun to call us forward once the target Flaplids were down. From there we stripped to our respective targets, put the thing on the thing and pressed the thing, launching at 55Nm from target. Held a CAP for a couple of rotations to make sure the missiles didn't de-agg, then called Miller Time and RTB. A combat descent from 30Nm to Homeplate made for an interesting recovery with an O/Head Break, which #1 slightly over-cooked but recovered in plenty of time to make it a comfortable landing. Excellent formation flying and position holding by Noodle, with good comms between the flights made it an easy run. The result was one SA-10 seriously bloodied and the other almost wiped out. Should create a path into the AO for subsequent strikes.

"put the thing on the thing and pressed the thing"
Hope you remembered to switch on the thing, and configure the thing :D

I was quite happy with my thing placing and pressing. Just the Mark point thing let me down but I found some useful vid thingies on YouThing yesterday, based on 4.32. As long as 4.34 is the same I'll be happy.
I also flew a follow up mission yesterday to attack an airbase. Unfortunately the Reds threw every plane they had up into the air and I didn't make it that far out of the Patriot zone. What was really worrying was that the Patriots didn't engage the enemies when they entered the kill zone. Have they run out of sticks to throw? |

Can SAM battalions run out of things? I flew a single player mission recently where I was being a cocky-little-so-and-so and dodging SA2 thing after thing. I know they only have 6 things loaded in a battalion and when they went quiet I thought all was well. A few minutes later they started throwing more things at me! I guess there is a reload timer for them? Perhaps the number of trucks in the battalion determine their supply level?

@Noodle. I don't know anything about twitch. TBH the only reason I stream my pit to Youtube is so I can self-critique my flights afterwards or pick up any mistakes from the pit.

Not much to know about, OBS does the job anyway. You just need an account to link it to.
Let me know if you are interested for next Sunday mission. |
