#378665 - 01/08/01 09:57 AM How to have the "big picture"

After spending a lot of my allowed sim time with FA18 and F4, I got back to f2.
I did my homework (gun only dogfight vs. f16 and f15) and my SA in dogfight improved a lot.
WHat I really find discouraging is the BIG situation awareness.
I mean, yesterday I tried a lot of times the "first blood" mission.
I always get shooted by the escorts of the TU 160 before being able to shoot any missile.
I simply cannot understand when or where I have to start the attack, I cannot tell when I`m under threat (no warning from the EWR) and I simply don`t have a clue to what`s happening in the big world aroud me.
With f4 or FA18 it was easy: I requested picture and I found it.
In f2 what I can do to understand what`s happening out there (without cheating: ie F5 or F10...) ?
Also, can someone remember me the password to declassify the stock missions ?

The odds are really stacked against you in that mission. The two Su33s that take off from the carrier have no missiles so they're not much help except to draw the attention of the escorts while you attack from the rear.
