Ground Attach II

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.

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

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

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....

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

Thanks for the advice. I'll give it a try.

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??

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.

i killed the SU25 and hind with hellfire lol. kinda sad.

[Cybergangster 0]

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.  Switch weapons to FFAR and switch to manual fire.  Fly up the road about 20ft above the ground directly at the convoy.  Then fire like mad, just make sure your last shot hits the Shilka (always the last in the convoy).  Then make another pass and clean off any strays.  About then switch to 30mm cannon and disable manual fire.  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.  Head back to base and watch the sunset with a cool glass of root beer.

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

[Cybergangster 0]

I tried that, it turned nasty when I climbed too late and made like a bulldozer through the ground...

[RN Malboeuf 12]

?

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

[RN Malboeuf 12]

My RN bitch and bitched about my landings heh, so Russin took the time to explain to me not to use the my joystick

and now after a month I have never crashed with the keys

been shot down, but never crashed

I found this mission very easy.

[Placebo 29]

Gorgi AFAIK this is now the 3rd dead topic you've brought back for no apparent reason, Monkey was banned for doing the same, why are you doing it?

[Aculaud 0]

First off, i'll just say, to make a pre-emptive strike on keeping my name clear , that i'm not trying to help out a dead post, just telling a war story/prefered strategy regarding the mission in the topic (and of course, now iv just made myself seem presumptuous by stating that at the very begining of my post).

I find that a Hell-Fire\30MM combo works best on the convoy and shilka. I save the FFARs for the SU-25 and the Hind. That never fails to take them down. And on top of that, the FFARs are strong enough to actually kill them, so youl get credit for the aircraft and their pilots on your stats.

P.S. just out of curiosity, what does AFAIK mean?

[DragonFireSG 0]

"TAB FIRE TAB FIRE TAB FIRE"

Just keep doing that with your Hellfires. You have 8 missiles and only around the same number of convoy vehicles, including the Shilka. After you overfly the remnants of the convoy, turn around and walk over the remains with your FFARs to get rid of survivors. You won't even need to engage the Hind and SU25 this way (But that wouldn't be fun ) Keep some of your FFARs for these. The gunner is completely screwed at machinegunning.

[chaotictom 0]

I find this mission easy everytime, but that is just me.

what i find works best i head towards the convoy, close to the ground (50m) and fast (300-350km) then keep pressing tab untill the tank at the back is selected (the shilka) and fire a missile. from then it is easy, just press tab fire as DragonFireSg said. If you go after the hind, dont stand still, as you will get shoot at, but keep hgh and on the tail of the hind. shoot with the 30mm. If you go after the su-25 use the 30mm and try and keep up with it, but this is difficult as you dont have the speed, it can be done though. Then just go and land at the base and successe
