Luckily for me the A-10 is still able to fly with damaged wings and control surfaces. It's Pucker factor 5 at low altitude - there are structures everywhere! The sensation of altitude and speed at low level is up there with the best You'll also notice the effectiveness of the A-10 camouflage.

Only your F-100 has been able to penetrate the defences. Destroy the bombers as they take off with your guns and rockets and then escape Westwards if you can, but beware - these Badgers are no easy game !
Those Tupolev Tu-16 Badger 's are deadly shots with the tail gun. I was shot to pieces several times before I managed to nail one. At least the MiG-19's which turn up only have forward facing cannon!
Finally, after disposing of the Tupelov's and MiG I headed home on 'warp drive' - and about 105 miles from home ran out of gas!
Fortunately I was 3 miles out from an airstrip and managed to 'dead stick' it in.
A fun mission.

year published: 1998
tags: MiGMans Combat Diary
description: You have 2 wingmen. Stay sharp...plenty of air action in this mission....stay very sharp! Stay away from the Chinese MiG-17's North of the buffer zone. Don't be surprised if this mission is graded as a failure, apparently you have to destroy 13 targets!!

description: Try to stay above the fog. Use the Bad Weather / Night Intercept Checklist if you have to descend into the soup. To land, try designating the carrier on Ground Radar(Shift-R), fly over it and execute a landing pattern. Bear in mind that an IFR carrier landing is about the most difficult thing you can attempt in the world of flying. If you quit the mission (Ctrl-Q) within 3 miles of the carrier you will still get a "Mission successful" message.

description: Change the flight plan as shown at right. Delete the extra waypoints, one will suffice to mark the target area. Load Ordnance: As usual, lose the two external fuel pods and adjust internal fuel to 79%.

description: As usual, lose the two external fuel pods and adjust internal fuel to 79%. Since this is a "precision" strike, load up with AGM-65 Mavericks or GBU-10 Paveways. Mind you, to my knowledge there were no AGM-65's deployed in the early 1970's, but I guess they approximate the Walleye's actually used at the time.

tags: MiGMans Combat Diary
description: Although the briefed takeoff was 0900, it's actually about 0500 (dawn). Ingress at high altitude and max speed to avoid MiGs. Also watch out for MiGs on egress....you should probably avoid them due to the low fuel state of your flight at this point in the mission.

description: The sun sure comes up late in these parts, but don't worry it will be shining in a couple of minutes. Apparently you have to destroy all the MiGs, on the ground and airborne, so take a close look at Hanoi airport. This is one of Jane's famous hair-tearing / frustrating missions...expect to play it a few times to succeed.
