Questions about DEAD mission.
-
Hi Everyone!
I have some questions about DEAD mission.When I leave target area?
Can I change my role to escort after complete DEAD mission to protect strike package?
Is that ok to leave our strike package being attacked by enemy fighters after completing my DEAD mission?
What is successful condition for DEAD mission?
Do I have to fight against enemy fighters if they are approaching my target area? -
In all my years of learning about the Viper, with the advent of the C models and especially the inclusion of AMRAAM, it became a fight your way in and fight your way out fighter. By all means, protect the package if possible. In BMS I wouldn’t worry a hot minute about success or failure from the debrief. It has some very odd holdovers from its legacy days. Ask yourself, did I compete my mission? Did the package succeed in their effort? Did we lose airframes?

@bstar07 All your questions depends…
I assume that you are flying a offline campaign with AI.
With humars what matters is briefing and radio coms, with that yo ucan adapt any situation.
But with AI, normaly AI in AG role, is not going to fight against enemy planes, as you are the only human in there, you must asume what is best.
Can you spend yout fuel to defend the whole package? did you already complete your task?
Normaly in a human envoirement I will tell you , do not switch roles, but in your escenario, I will swith roles in any moment, but always remember that you need to still alive… xD
DEAD mission role is to aniqilate a whole Air defense batallon, in the moment you finish that task, you heavy plane will be very light and you can assume some AA roles for sure.
But if you did not compleate or deploy your AG weapons yet, could be very risky to enter in AA combat.Just my POV

I feel this is not correct, if you give the order W4 (Weapons free A/A) then they will very often go after Bandits. If not, try “drop stores” to wingman, element or whole flight if you understand the dog fight is impossible not to fight to survive.
Also if you lock an air target and link it over to wingman or element followed by the order Attack my target, they will respond.

this is true, due to time limitations I am forever bound to SP campaigns.
AI wingmen 3 or 4 are always protecting me. specially when making the Weapons free AA call -
@Kevstosmart this is true since Mav changed it for 4.37. With the new weapons free directives. I concur, works like a charm

@Killroy
In your flight you can use weapons free and you IA will do what you “want” but I am speaking in the whole package
You can not comunicate with your strike if you are the escort mission in the packageIn this case, the AG missions (NOT YOUR FLIGHT) normally are not going to engage enemy fighters

Are You sure about that? What if you go to their internal Data Link setting and set channel internal freq to 10 if they are first unit, try to give them “Attack my target” by sending your locked target by Data link? I have not tried it out myself, but seem to remember to have read this in the big book.

@Killroy Totally sure… we need a extra menu like mission commander, change radio and use wingman commands do nothing
that is no codded
