Good work Wolverine, and yours is the last mission to see an AI wingman survive. Bonus points for that. Just a word of caution.... I cannot see which bridge you hit, but please be careful if the bridge you are targeting is needed to reach our objectives. Perhaps you took this in to account already. If so no worries.

An unsuccessful sortie last night.

I fragged a runway attack on Haeju airbase out of Kunsan. I loaded up with BLU107 and set my wingman up with SDB.

I reconned a couple of SA2 Fansong F radars near the target and set them as precision STPTs and had planned to use them to tell nmy wingman to 'Attack my target'. This would've allowed me to proceed with my low level runway attack without the threat from the known SA2 sites.

In 3d I received a message from Lorik who was about to fly so we decided to fly together, as I was already airborne Lorik joined me as number 2.

I sent over the waypoint for the main threat SA2 so that he had it available for the SDB attack.

We then flew to the target in a wedge formation at FL23 (ish), Lorik released an SDB at the Fansong when in range and then I dove down to fly NOE into the target.

And that is when things went wrong...

Lorik called out nails 29 at 12 o clock and went in for the kill and I tried to gain some altitude to try to help out, I got off a Fox 2 at what turned out to be a MiG19, I then had nails 29 myself but got far too close and did nothing when he had me hard locked - and this is what killed me, I should've gone defensive and reset.

I was hit by the 29 which knocked the majority of my systems out and left me trailing thick black smoke, but I still had an engine, so I performed a split S and tried to run away, but he was right on my tail. I managed to defend for a while with tracers flying past my head but eventually he got me.

Debrief showed me KIA, with 1 AA kill to my name.

Lorik had 3AA kills when I left the server - hopefully he can add his version up too

I called out that he had a 23 on his 5 o clock (acting as AWACS from 2d for a few minutes) but then called it a night.


Things for me to improve on:

Don't ignore a hard spike on the RWR.
Reset in to a better position before engaging if possible.
Respect MAR.
Frag an escort!!!

Well, that makes two of us that got shot down last night

I hopped on after work and fragged that HART/SDB mission again, since I still had all of the steerpoints on my DTC. Pohang had been knocked out since I was last on, so I flew a Block 40 out of Pusan, which made the mission quite a bit longer, about 220 miles to the target. Not too bad, and I set Taegu as the alternate to save 55 miles on the return flight if needed. Made it to the target area unmolested and plinked the HART sites (111 kills). I orbited twice while waiting for the bombs in case I would otherwise fly out of the bubble. Then turned for home. Picked up a pair of MiG-29s to the west and attacked. As I ran in I heard some Hornets (4-ship sweep) on the radio and just before I fired I heard them all Fox-Three long. Well, I Fox-Three medium and my missiles took out both MiGs. I turned back toward the front and suddenly i hear 'chirp, chirp, chirp' in my headset and see the M on the RWR. are you kidding me?

I plugged full burner and pumped the rest of my chaff plus jammer but no chance. I was shot down by a Hornet. Managed to eject to save my consecutive mission streak at least.


I gave some attention to the ground troops approaching Seoul and decided that being shot down by a friendly was enough fun for one evening

Here you see nothing fired at me, but the missile picked me up when I destroyed it's target. It's happened to me before but first time in BMS. I've also killed friendlies in the same exact way. Target destroyed before pitbull and it locks the next thing it sees.

Curious as to what's going on in the campaign while I am at work. Has anyone flown today? I don't know how much time will be left when I check in later, but I will get troops rolling for the objective. I cannot recall ever actually being on when an online campaign is won. I'll see about that tonight.

If anyone jumps on please give me a sitrep of the campaign status. Curious especially as to the status of the Blue troops approaching Seoul.

Seoul was captured by U.S. forces. Clock stopped. I think the campaign is over.

To complete Wildcat's debrief, not much to add and I agree with his conclusion. I brought the airframe back with these mentioned kills. I had the AG kills too, the Fan Song, and the AAA I had also marked prior to jumping in flight with Wildcat.

Ah, victory is ours!!

That, despite the fact that the entire campaign was spent in consolidation mode really. If there is a one campaign that is tailor-made for manual ground troop movement, it's this one.

Thanks for the report. And I still haven't been on at the time of victory. Dammit. Good work men.

Got back from a horrible trip by train (80 mins delay) rushing to restart the server just to find the blue victory





Congratulations to all participants!
(worst timing ever this business trip and fekking last time I go by train despite the tiny seats on the Boeing 737's - the 10 years to retirement feels like an eternity)

Hi Oden, welcome back. Last night after the Hornet driver shot me down I spent some time clearing Seoul and getting the pixeltruppen on the objective. It looks like they actually listened!

How many medals did server dude get this time?

Haha that lazy b'stard only collects campaign medals.
Forgot to check but I think he's still a Captain - if he goes Major before me I will uninstall him and have him replaced by a new 2nd Lt.

Well, I think you get around 20 points for campaign victory, so his 14 (for Tiger Spirit was it?) was 280 easy points lol.

Do you have a new campaign up and running?

Not at this time, Oden switched the server over to ARMA for a bit. Not sure of the status of the next one. We'll see what Oden says when he pops back in.

No problem

BTW Wildcat, I've been dropping CCRP with no issues. I now wait until the countdown is 3 seconds then consent and bombs come off as expected.

Let's talk server closer to next weekend
(not getting my arma server through this sub-par router they handed me, I really need to find an alternative ISP)

Awesome! Glad you've got it working!

Yeah, me too, so much safer than CCIP. Thanks for your help.
