BACKGROUND: This AAR is based on a simple recon mission I created in WOE. The mission was flown to investigate how the game engine selects different groundunits. I added some other groundunits manually to study their behavior. This was all done for the campaign I am developping. You can read more on this campaign on my blog.




Flying in my thrustworhty RF-4C I head for the Altenburg Region to photograph soviet sam installations.



Suddenly two white plumes erupt from the ground.



A SA-6 battery, guided by a Straight Flush radar has spotted me.



A few flares and a bit of jinking manages to break the lock of the missiles.



Small puffs of black smoke, alert me of another danger.



Some S-60 crew is taking potshots at me. Luckily for me its quit hard to track a fast flying jet with such an old cannon.



Past the SA-6 battery, I spot another plume of smoke heading for me.



This time a SA-13 is thrown at me, which I easily evade.



I guess no one got this close to an SA-13 launcher and lifed to tell about it.



A long straight plume of smoke up into the sky, alerts me of another danger.



A SA-13 Gaunlet is firing at me.



Instead of heading straight for me, this missile climbs above me before swooping down on me. Luckily the missile malfunctions and misses me.



Finally I am out of the range of all those SAM's and guns. My tail is all shot up, but at least I can limp back home alive.

Happy Flying

Nice, hairy ride through SAM city, Albert. Some cool shots of missiles in action there. Thanks for the interesting AAR.

I could have totally gotten into this sim if the terrain hadn't been so flat. And all the #$%^@^ views. . . I mean, yeah, it's a survey sim, but, oh well. Too flat.

Over the hills and far away.
What did you expect KingAlbert? You going for some snapshots and the russians smiling into the camera? \:D
Groetjes, Kodiak.
