The following is a mission disk composed on F3.0c. The missions are by Craig Allen, Charles Andaloro and Ken Cook. Several missions are made by both Craig and Ken.
These missions are difficult, but not impossible. They were tested on Ace, Low accuracy, Reserve AAA & SAM on complex ... this doesn't mean you can't try other settings ... we encourage you to experiment with different levels to find the one that is most comfortable for your style and skill level. Most of the missions are designed with the thought of the SAMS and AAA being selected to above "none". They are also designed to play with the original ordinances that come up in the armarment screen ... so at least try them with the pre-selected ordinance.
TIP: For anybody wondering how an the heck can you aviod those darn SAMS without an ECM pod try this "near" fool proof method. When you see the dreaded little square box in the threat indicator circle, keep the little box (SAM) either directly to the right (90 degrees) or left (270 degrees). Once the little box is directly to the side keep it there even if it means flying straight ... oh yeah and be sure to blow some chaff and flares.
Okay ... on to those missions.
RATTLER: Intelligence has reason to suspect that an enemy SAM battery is moving into position in the mountains northwest of the city. Keep your 65Bs ready as you head into the mountains and be ready for a firing solution as you crest the peak of the hill. Quickly drop down into the valley to avioid line-of-sight detection by the enemy. Without an ECM pod, you'll have to rely on flying ability and skillful weapons delivery to pull through this one. Destroy all enemy SAM sites and make it home alive to succesfully complete this mission ... oh by the way ... take the waypts home and keep a good eye out hehehehehe. by Craig Allen/Ken Cook
KCBEEHIV: You are called opon to give CAP to a couple of A-10s, but there is a surprize party waiting for you. Try to hang on cause some help is close by. Keep a good look out on the way back to base. by Ken Cook
KC27OZERS: Your on patrol when your AWACs asks you to give CAP for a couple of F4s that are giving them hell. AWACs reports there are incoming bogeys vectored against those F4s. Once your done there, AWACs thinks you still might have enough of the right stuff to give a couple of E3s an escort coming back to base. by Ken Cook
COVERT: Your flying an extremly important mission with an unusal aircraft ... you got a two seater Falcon and you need to drop off one of the Allied's best field commanders at a far away airfield with a short runway. Your first priority is to land safely!!! (once you land count to 20 to simulate the time it might take for your passinger to get out). Two KFIR's are escorting you from afar as to not give away your position. They will be at your 4 o'clock so don't mind the spike from that direction. You should go in NOE with your radar off. Be alert on the way home ... if you nap you may wind up with a very long sleep. by Craig Allen/Ken Cook
