Correct target for DEAD missions
-
Hi
Im pretty new to falcon and I have a problem with the DEAD missions.
I use HAD to locate radars around the “target” steerpoint and shoot them with HARMS. However the radars I shoot are never the correct ones :mad:
How can i know which radar to fire at?
Answers are appreciated

Another option is to use the HAS mode. Set PPT(s) through the Recon Screen for the radars (assuming they are stationary targets).

If you are flying a F16 model that does not have an HTS option attachment, you will not the ability to use HAS mode. However, as Dracfalcon said, recon the assigned AA target battalion on the UI map prior to the mission and set up target steerpoint(s) on the missile tracking system(s) of the battalion. Then you can use the POS system of the HARM to attack the correct target. If you do not know about POS, you must read up in the manual as there are 3 submodes to choose from. Works like a charm, most of the time. Check out videos on youtube as there are several instructional ones available about HARM use.

Maybe i’m wrong but DEAD means destruction of enemy air defence
Maybe you should try to use some Stand-Off weapons and try to destroy all units of the asigned battalion

The briefing will tell you to go kill the 5-dickety-2nd battalion so that’s the goal and the result you’re judged by. So think about attacking a specific battalion that isn’t a SAM site and how you’d do that.
Assuming it’s a static SAM site, it’s worth it to get to know how to use the POS HARM delivery modes.

OK, thanks. I will try the POS modes.
To razo - I guess I could use mavericks or GBU’s, but the default loadout for most of the DEAD mission are HARMS. So it should be dooable at least -
You can load your wingman with the harm, then load yourself with cluster bomb. Assign the sam radar to wingman and you deploy the cluster muntion. Hunter killer pair.

HARM is primarily for SEAD, and targets the radars… DEAD is for taking out the launchers. I would recommend 4x GBU38 using PPT’s.

Nah, real men get down in their chilli and finish the launchers with clusters.

lol what are you talking about, real men take out the zilka’s with bombs and finish the launchers with a short burst of 20 mm ::woohoo:
-
Nah; real men use a stand off weapon like JSOW-A and rtb every time

GBU 39’s are my choice. Takes a few minutes to reach target, but for stationary targets, they won’t fail. And you will get splash damage on close targets. No good on moving targets.
