Single Mission Help

[snakeman]

Hi just flew a single mission Fighter Sweep in WOE. I was fliying a F-4D when the Bad Guys showed up they were flying A-4 Super Echos (USAF vs USN not what I was expecting). How does the game decide what enemy a/c to use in single missions or is it totally random ?

 

Thanks

Because the Super Echos, being 'agressor' aircraft are considered an enemy nation (ie: they're assinged an enemy nationality).

 

If you'll all open your "A-4ese_data.ini" to page one (sorry, couldn't resit 'teacher mode'), you'll see this at the top, for the aircraft's mission statment:

 

[MissionData]

NationName=Soviet <--bad guy status!!!

ServiceStartYear=1973

ServiceEndYear=1992

AircraftRole=FIGHTER

AircraftCapability=DAY_ONLY

Availability=RARE

Exported=TRUE

ExportStartYear=1975

ExportAvailability=RARE

PrimaryRoles=CAP,INTERCEPT

SecondaryRoles=SWEEP

NormalMissionRadius=563

MaxMissionRadius=1137

Ceiling=14900

MinBaseSize=SMALL

 

so, they're not actually US Navy. They're just painted that way -- bonus points for naming that reference!

AFAIK the Super Echo is set up as an ENEMY (IIRC SOVIET) aircraft.

 

It's hard to force the game to include a specfic enemy aircraft in a random single mission.

 

EDIT: Is there any other film than Top Gun?
