Geoff, about the frequency. I don't know how to change the frequencies for A-10c II in the mission editor so if can, please do.


Thank you Shane, added to the mission!

"CASENOVA" will be music to my ears.

Boos, thank you for an enjoyable mission from all in 3(F).

Excellent mission mate, thoroughly enjoyed it as did the rest of the boys who remained airborne, tunnel vision and lack of SA got me under the silk once again lol

AAR from Enfield 2 Ship Strke Package, no carrier issues, took off all OK but had intermittent datalink drop outs throughout mission which I've not seen before.

Ingress all good, watched the furball of SU33, Viper, Tomcat and Hornet and had thought we might be getting involved but all was clear just as we got to IP. Other flight members engaged ships and destroyed them then rtb'd without drama.

Very enjoyable mission Boos especially as first attempt well done.

My flying was truly awful and I'm very annoyed at myself, I couldn't get my atflir /gbu codes to sync up, could see the ships through the atflir till my wingman pointed out I was flying right over them (thanks Andrew), and I balls up the carrier landing, bolted first attempt then hit back of the carrier second time. I felt truly embarrassed to be the flight lead if honest, big thanks to Andrew, Boos and Smokie for doing everything correctly unlike me

I had a very good night, hit my target and got back to the boat.
Personally I love to see so many up on a Tuesday night, all enjoying an evening's flying, the radio calls certainly add to the atmosphere. It makes being part of RAF Air very special.
Well done Boos for making the mission on the Marianas map.
There is always space for new mission designer's, new designers keep it fresh. 2022 seems to be off to a good start.
