Posting the ATO here as mentioned by Bones and Grifter... AAR and HUD videos for BDA can be posted here too. Keep it all in 1 place makes sense.
Hammer - Im not sure how to compress the screenshots. I hope this post is okay.

Continuation:
Complete operational disruption of Bandar Abbas and Havadarya. This could be our last push depending on what enemy aircraft are sent our way.

Regarding the mobile anti air threats- intelligence has spotted multiple MANPADS at both locations and their last know positions are listed below. This is approximate as targets are mobile. Please use your TPOD to confirm ZSU or MANPAD before weapons release.

Bandar Abbas:
ZSU -
N 27 14 00.29 / E 56 23 22.51 22ft

MANPADS -
N 27 14 38.62 / E 56 23 06.41 34ft
N 27 14 17.45 / E 56 23 05.03 28ft
N 27 13 54.25 / E 56 22 54.69 28ft

Havadarya:
MANPADS -
N 27 09 25.17 /E 56 10 38.57 51ft
N 27 09 26.65 /E 56 09 34.06 51 ft

Speaking of AAR, the tankers are really too far back from enemy lines to be of any use. Same distance as simply flying to an airbase or carrier, but then again, I guess that's so we can take off and get to target reasonably soon. Would it be safe to move the tankers closer to battle so that we could stay on station longer, assuming we can use them?

My failed Mig21 bombing attempt at the ZSU


F-14 Backfire Kill


F-14 Trap

Solo attempt. My flares/chaff outwitted the manpad but the ground caught up to me too fast. 83% damaged.

Some intel on the exact manpad location after my 4 x 250KG bombs managed only to damage him 82%:

Wed night:

Failed mi24 gun run on zsu (couldn't get my gunner to lock target)


Here was my bombing run. i hit the wrong button so thats why the bombs dropped late. You can see the tracers from my gun trigger.


Trichome dropping GBU - Didnt get the explosion though


My crashed Mi24 watching trichome land over my head. YOu can first see my head moving which means I survived even though the aircraft didnt.

That last video was cool...lol

We did a great job yesterday (I think) we're just about done the mission based on the BDA I did last night. couple fuel trucks and 1 MANPAD left. Also that ZSU but I think Im going to drop 4x2000lb bombs on it tonight....

I. Want. It. Dead.

[Cr33p3r]

Sounds great! I am travelling and won't be available to fly. I hadn't flown the Mi24 in so long I forgot the keys/buttons to get Petrovich to do his thing. Or else the ZSU would have been gone already.

[Trichome]

We got him... may have been overkill but it felt good.

straight Ingress to Bandar - 4x 2000lb JDAMS at once and all on point. Low flight home with a pair SU30s chasing me. Got 1 before I had to run. watching the video back my jammer was on so I think my Fox3s did squat.... It was my Fox2 that hit I'd think. Diverted to Kasab and the Hawk(?) helped save me from the 1 remaining SU30.

I have video but a friend on Steam kept bugging me and the chat pops up in the video...lol. Ill try and snip it if I get a chance.

Way to go Trichome!

I'm looking forward to whatever the next map is.

Su30s fight....
