Lock On: Modern Air Combat
A-10 Warthog
Mission 1: A-10: Under the Bridges!
Note - The headings are only approximate.
Using the cockpit instruments to find the course.
There's the harbour mouth.
Now that is a navigation hazard !
There it is!
- Do a full reciprocal left turn around this airport then head back up the coast at about heading 315 degrees.
- Now head back up the coast and fly to the mouth of the harbour.
- You are going to fly up the road and find the bridges.
- (Note I moved your takeoff time from 0600 to 0630 because the bridges were difficult to locate.... and flying at low level in the dark turned out to be pretty hairy... !
A-10 Mission 02
Find some choppers, destroy a few nukes and land on a carrier... all in a day's work!
Look's like the fleet is in town!
This large field of maize/corn/wheat (?) is where you have to turn south and start looking for your mates in the SH-60 SeaHawk choppers.
There they are !
Yikes! They're turing right - and check out the school bus going the other way.
Got 'em in the open now.
Cluster bombs away.
Didn't get all of them.
Back for a guns pass - and watch out for the terrain on the right.
That did it.
Back to the harbour - apparently this is the cargo ship they were heading for with the stolen nukes. The local customs officials are raiding it now.
Mmm... should I ?
You really shouldn't do this!
