Ok so this weekend I made it through the campaign mission where you're jumped by 10+ MIGs. Once you take a few of them out, it gets a little easier. There aren't as many left to sideline you.  Cool

Later, I played a mission where you have to go on these bombing runs and take out SAM stations, tanks and other ground targets in support of some ground forces. This mission has just about ruined the game for me. There are about 4 bombing runs you have to make and you have to fly them perfectly in order to support your ground forces. Once you've cleared the first set or run of ground targets, another run of ground targets "appears" for you to take out. (realistic... not)

Again, you have to take them out perfectly in order to avoid having to circle around and make another run. This eats up time and there is apparently a background timer running unbeknownst to you. After a while you get a "MISSION FAILED" message. You also randomly get jumped by two or three MIGs just to make it interesting. If you break off of your run to take care of them, you lose time and FAIL. If you ignore them, they strafe the crap out of you and you die. FAIL.

I played for about 2 hours trying to beat this mission and gave up after the last attempt after I had taken out ALL ground targets and only had one MIG left and we were in a one-on-one dogfight and I got the "MISSION FAILED" message. WTF?!?!? How could the mission fail? He was busy with me. He couldn't have taken out any ground forces. It's simply a timer and until all enemy forces and targets are destroyed before it runs out, you FAIL. I raged and shut it off. It's the closest I've ever come to chucking a controller at the screen.

Fuuck it. This game is too wrapped around the concept of setting up a mission or set of objectives so that only a perfect (and I mean PERFECT) execution is the only way to advance. I guess some people like those type of games.

It's really too bad because the graphics and game play are superb and I love the flight simulation, dogfighting, Apache missions and air-to-ground missions.



Eh, thats kind of like the old games, you just gotta get away or learn some retard bombing routes to get em all. Trust me, when you have a mission thats entirely based on how many points you get in a certain time(each target has a different amount of points for destroying it) and THEN get bum rushed by the 6 scariest fighters in the game as an ending to the mission and if you die you have to repeat EVERYTHING. I swear it was damn near impossible to get those Yellows.
Oh and in 5 one of the ending missions has you do the same sort of thing, only to then get the mission update that you now have to fly through a tunnel while being chased and shot at by other planes to destroy one small little target  and then floor it the fack out of there before the tunnel closes. Oh and you need a plane with a high missile payload to take care of the first part so you of course get stuck with one of the most massive planes in the game so that makes the tunnel all the more tight and harder to evade missiles being fired at yo ass

Oh and to help with that mission, take out all the SAMs first with missiles/guns so you aren't getting buttraped from below too, just sort of come in and get a lock on, fire off 1-2 missiles(not sure how many they made a kill in this game), and floor it and pull the fack outta there, there'll normally be a missile on you as well so you'll need the speed and some moves to get out of it.

I think I had to try that mission about 20-30 times before I got through it. After the 5th or 6th try I stopped being calm when I got anal raped from behind by one of the damn planes that followed you in. I started throwing my controller against the wall. Now all my PS2 controllers rattle a little when you shake em lightly  Roll Eyes
