Lo:mac Sams

Man - anyone played the A10 campaign mission number 4 I think.. as you land you get jumped on by 2 SAM sites.

Talk about ROFL!

My landing went something like this..

Tootling along at 2,000 I get a SAM search warning on the RWR. Hmm... ECM on. Call home and request a vector for home plate.. I'm duly given one. Head towards home. Notice airbase in heavy fog, turn to make final approach.

SAM LAUNCH!

**** the bed, flaps up, full power, hard bank to turn away.. looking for the SAM, pull it into my 2 o'clock and roll around it. It missed. Change pants, clean stain on seat.

Just about brought it back around again and another launch. :'(

Managed to dodge this one again by turning the other way, chucked the flaps out, forced the gear down and dived like a mofo with the brakes out.

I JUST about pulled out the dive, landed about 3/4 along the runway with the wheel brakes already on. :D Stopped at the end of the runway with the nosewheel about 6" off the end of the runway. :eek:

Talk about an adrenaline rush. That was NOT pretty!



Anyhoo, once I've worked out how to record tracks without it CTD, I'll throw some SAM dodging antics up for you to watch since it's amusing dodging 4 in a row. :D

How are those campaign missions running Lowe ? I've heard they are heavy on the framerates

VERY heavy. I get about 15-20fps, opposed to about 35 normally.

Needs an uber CPU to cope with all the AI
