Liberation 01.25.23

Post by Bones »

We were able to take out many of the coastal SAMs! (Sorry, I didn't realize only my microphone audio was recorded)

Round 1:


Round 2:


On the first round I ran low on gas so diverted to a tiny island with a tiny airport. Runway wasn't long enough. I landed but ran off the runway toward the Persian Gulf so I was forced to eject. I should have landed in the opposite direction but fuel was too low to turn around.

One thing we found in this mission is that lofting a JDAM is not very accurate. They fall short usually. A level attitude drop is most accurate.

Lofting JDAM's with the Harrier is pretty accurate. :) I love doing a ripple JDAM loft and already be on the deck flying in the opposite direction before they hit and having every bomb hit their targets. Great fun.

Maybe I needed to get in closer when lofting for them to be accurate. I just lofted when it said IN ZONE because the SAM threat was just too crazy.
