Carrier issue pics:

enter campaign tasking carrier mission

don’t think so as they are still there a half hour later

@Cik:

hell, it’s debatable if the ER is even in service (and it’s from the 90s, i think)
if you look at photos from syria the majority of the flankers you see still carry R27R.

No, ER is Flanker’s standard missile, widely used (at least under and between engines). Alamo is modular. U can change seekers (u need IR?, well just change it!) or extend engine sections according missions. A and C share the same seeker (there are seeker upgrades/mods of course, the same like aim9LMX), but C is longer and have aditional engine section. C is good and fine tunned missile (balanced but quite heavy), A is short legged (made rather for light Fulcrum).

Yup but you never know; just reporting the facts

thank you

controlling the ATO, PAKs and tasking most missions manually is the key. Adjusting loadouts too. Lot’s to learn.

@cptmtge:

yes I see lots of changes. There is no -228 even listed anymore for the F18F in KTO campaign so unable to use TGP for that aircraft which was the 38 I believe in 4.33.

Cpt, try Mission Commander. Go to Units>squadrons>then find your squadron>on the middle bottom of the window you’ll see the resupply area. The -288 won’t be on the list, but if you click on “show all” it will be there as AN-ASQ-228> change the number available>apply> save or save as.
I’ve been experimenting with some things, so I have done this in two different campaigns. Once it worked, and once it didn’t.

the 50 is available which was not actually functional before and it requires a hardpoint.

@cptmtge:

switched to different squadron; same result. Started new campaign.

You might have run into the same problem I did where BMS wants to play one of the videos at that point and pukes. Suggest making a sub folder and moving all videos into that folder and try that mission again. Turning off the starting video doesn’t stop BMS from wanting to play movies mid stream.

KTO Iron Fortress Day 1. I tasked multiple solo B-2 out of Kadena to hit red airbases. Here you can see one tasked strike on Manpo AB now well into RTB without hitting the airbase snd has no loadout. Jettison? I assume it flew all the way then turned around and went home as I have seen F15E do the same. The aircraft flies to the target but drops no ordinance. A B-2 would arrive undetected, drop it’s ordinance and proceed home. Something ain’t right. Maybe the time allotted when I created the mission was too short? Ideas?

@cptmtge:

I was looking forward to the parade and hookers.

:rofl:

When the clock stopped, you should have had News Reports showing at the top left of the map. When clicked, will read that DPRK surrendered.

I have been downed by flying into the chute before and now let them float down normally but after seeing that pilot jump out I figured what the heck. Escape not save.

Well a plane can fall faster than a free falling bomb since the aircraft has a power source and can accelerate faster than gravity can pull. As for why the AI does this i’m unsure. I first thought maybe the bombs were deployed too low to the ground and they were damaging the aircraft. does this happen everytime? or is it specific to an area on the map? or a certain kind of plane?

Over G’d the jet for the stores carried during your A-A engagement?

I have seen this behavior in 4.32 in Korea and Balkans theaters. Guess it is still with us.

Ok thanks and understand if I am wrong it’s the first time ever. Happy New Year
