Odessaman 0 Posted November 22, 2001 Any suggestions on accomplishing this mission?? I've tried everything. Flying low, Flying High, Flying around and I always end up getting shot down. Is this a bug in the game? Any suggestions would be greatly apprecitated. Thanks in advance. Odessaman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Black Op 0 Posted November 22, 2001 i got shot down myself but managed to bail out, if you can bail out and move to the area you was attacking you will find a UAZ guarded by 3 men, you can steal this and drive back to base :cool: i got shot at along the way but made it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RN Malboeuf 12 Posted November 22, 2001 head to the Convoy but run at 20 feet off the water at 200 knots+ make sure you pass the convoy (will pass on your left) till it strings it self out, attack the farthest Tank (shika) 1st with a missile and you'll be clear from there on when the hinds come come to a dead stop hover, and switch to 30 mms and let your gunner blow it out of the sky Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blaznee 0 Posted November 22, 2001 Heh, I did this one in a really cool way I think :-).. I flew to the town that you must stop the convoy from entering.. Then I positioned myself just south of the city near the road that leads to the city.. There I just hovered while one tank after another came crawling into my gunners reticle.. When the Shilka came it didn't even have time to breathe before it was history.. After that I just quickly flew back - never saw the Hind's.... /Blaznee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Blind Sniper 0 Posted November 22, 2001 The shilka is fairly easy to kill now. At least it didnt blow me away as much as they used to. Shooting you down well before you can see them. They're much less accurate which I like.. tracers flying past me. As for the Hinds, well.. they're not too hard to shoot down.. if your gunner is half competent, which he hardly ever is.. shooting at the Hind missing 70% of the time.. *sigh* This is annoying as I could shoot it down myself quite easily, but I'm not the gunner.. bah. I usually find manual fire and rockets work easier Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Â I used this mission mostly for chopper practice. Â I was flying and was just trying to land on a hill over 1km away from the shilka and through the fog, I saw tracers coming my way. Â I didn't even have it on my "radar", but I was getting shot at none the less. Â Now if you fly fast enough, like over 500 with the A-10, you can out fly the shilka. Â But now these new BMP-2s are pretty deadly as AA weapons too. Â I was doing some bombing with the new A-10 against some BMP-2s (I was coming in at around 150m, going 250knots), I was taking rounds going in and coming out (less coming out, cause I'd usually kill most of them with one or two bombs). -=Die Alive=- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Odessaman 0 Posted November 23, 2001 I've just about given up on this mission. Its not fair. I constantly get shot out of nowhere. I even tried to hover and wait and sure enough I get banged. What can I do?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Benze 0 Posted November 23, 2001 I finished it easily the only time I tried. Just fly low and use trees for cover, then pop up and kill the Shilka. The hinds and Su25 are a cakewalk after that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LordZach 0 Posted November 23, 2001 i killed the SU25 and hind with hellfire lol. kinda sad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cybergangster 0 Posted November 23, 2001 Funny, I finished this mission with ease the first time I did it. The 2nd, 3rd, 4td.... 20th... it was harder than I first thought. I found a gunho approach works best. Â Switch weapons to FFAR and switch to manual fire. Â Fly up the road about 20ft above the ground directly at the convoy. Â Then fire like mad, just make sure your last shot hits the Shilka (always the last in the convoy). Â Then make another pass and clean off any strays. Â About then switch to 30mm cannon and disable manual fire. Â Let your gunner deal the business to the Hind (I've never had trouble with the SU25) and then remove the last of the convoy. Â Head back to base and watch the sunset with a cool glass of root beer. Â (Edited by Cybergangster at 11:12 am on Nov. 23, 2001) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RN Malboeuf 12 Posted November 23, 2001 thats what i said 20 feet off the ground, if you take the ocean fron you get under the horizon for the shilka and it cant fire then you target it and pop up and fire simple as pie when you kill the Hinds, comming to a dead stop hover (0 knots) will allow your gunner to kill them with ease Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cybergangster 0 Posted November 23, 2001 I tried that, it turned nasty when I climbed too late and made like a bulldozer through the ground... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RN Malboeuf 12 Posted November 23, 2001 ? the chopper should auto a just unless you have the mouse below the chopper try and keep the mouse at the center and use the keys for movemt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
