Two GBU-24A will destroy a bunker. As for the F-18C escort mission, I modified the F-18C flying altitude on their ingress and set them a pop up attack, it ridiculous to bomb a target flying at 15000ft within range of an SA-10, with Su-35s all over the place.

Yeah, I should probably do that! It is practically suicide for those planes to fly at 15k feet for that mission! I've done an 8-plane flight, fitted half the flight with CAP and the other half with SEAD to no avail. I've tried to go commando and take out the SAMs along the F-18C flight route only to find the F-18Cs destroyed by the SU-35s (even with F-14 escort and my flight with CAP armaments set to "engage bandits")!

I didn't have any problem with the other escort missions previous to this one. That SA-10 takes the cake!

OR, you can take out the SA-10 yourself. Take off and fly low at 34 degree heading, 67 miles from WPT WO you'll come to a shallow valley (the terrain will be lighter green) follow that valley until the the light green spreads out left, make a 45 degree turn, fly up to the ridge in front of you, pop up and when the SA-10 turns its radar on let go with a HARM. The SA-10 will only be 10 or 15 miles from you so turn as soon as possible because it will start shooting. The SA-10 is flagged so as soon as the radar is hit 2 MIGs take off from a nearby airfield. Your close enough to the target so you can either take it out before the MIGs get there or wait for them to close the range and shoot them down. The SU-35s have never bothered me in this mission and I've flown it well over a hundred times. Their reaction range must be set very low because they just keep flying their CAP waypoints.

I got fed up and just changed the altitude of the F-18Cs to 1500ft. It was a much more pleasant experience!

The weaponeering mod never was completed; most of the groundwork was layed, though.

Is anyone aware of a way to hack the game to reduce the RCS of the Harpoons?

That one fix alone would be pretty huge!

I just started using SLAM-ERs instead of harpoons.
