+1 for Jkot254
That’s what I do at the start of any campaign. Mostly go Defensive Counter Air and try to keep my side on this side of the FLOT until I can knock out some of the forward air defense radars. Then I start to transition to offense. I think that will save you a lot of birds in the early going.
I knew to knock out EW radars at airports, army, depots, and dedicated stations first but I never thought to do DCA until most forward radars were down. I guess I have to manage the PAKS better myself. I love that there is always something to learn from the sim and community.
Definitely gave me something more to think about. Thank you.
