We didn't gain much ground at the enemy airbase though Creeper rescued many many poor souls! The airbase is defended on site by SA-10s and nearby by T-2s and additional SA-10s. It's difficult to drop bombs on the runway when they are lobbing SAMs at you to spoil your shot or launching enemy air. Worse when you do bomb the runway and they fail to give you the 100 points and planes are still allowed to launch from there anyway. Oh, and the JTAC is useless--you can never pick up his laser.
I also was dealt an unfair kill, the RWR never went off! Looking at the footage my RWR and EW was definitely on, and there was no warning from the SA-10:
I finally was able to do some damge with a pop up attack. But tossing the bombs I think degrades their accuracy, or the targets moved
Runway strike successful but no points given (bug). The HARMs I fired were shot down by the SA-10s.

I think we definitely need more numbers organized into a strike package with elemtns to guard for air to air and elements to inundate the SAM threat.
