War for a Day, a South Atlantic Scuffle
This is the 3rd mission in the 5-mission F-16C Viper Mini Campaign, "War for a Day".
You are conducting a precision strike on 4 cargo aircraft at El Calefate airfield.
This mission will take 20 to 30 minutes to complete.
The mission includes variable difficulty accessible through the Radio-Other menu.
I've been uploading these one at a time as they become ready. When the 5th mission is ready, I will upload the complete mini-campaign.
Mission 3 Brief
In this mission you are tasked with a precision strike at El Calefate airfield.
Four transport aircraft are on the tarmac waiting for cargo to be unloaded.
The targets are at waypoints 2, 3, 4, and 5. You are loaded with JDAMs (make sure you turn them on so they are aligned and ready by the time you get to the target.
An earlier DEAD mission in this area was unsuccessful at taking out an SA-10 site XXX miles to the north. You don't need to fly tree-top level, but you should stay masked behind an east-west ridge just south of the airfield to thwart the SA-10 site. Unmask and climb just as you are about to cross the ridge. Get your weapons off and get out of the area!
You are equipped with an ECM pod; use it as needed.
Weasel flight will be in the target area ahead of you for SAM suppression.
Cowboy flight is loitering in a CAP southeast of the target area (use the radio-Other menu to call for assistance).
Meta mission brief.
You can adjust the difficulty of the mission using the other menu and selecting a difficulty. You can incrementally make the mission easier, but once simplified, there is no going back.
At it's easiest setting, there is still some threat to face. Even unmodified, the mission is survivable through smart flying.
