I am loving the new Afghanistan terrain. It is great to have to worry about the terrain as you roll in on CAS missions. there are only really a couple of good attack corridors onto the target, meaning you have to fly in, do a run and roll out, then come around and make another run.

 

However you really need to watch the terrain. I waited juuuuuust too long to pull my Harrier Gr.7 out of a guns pass on some T-80BVs and clipped the ridge of a hill on the way out. I thought I might have gotten away with it - but then the flames started and I was trailing a line of black smoke.

Flames lick around the tail of my Harrier GR.7 after clipping a hill.

 

I nursed her to within about 10 miles of home, then it really started taking hold. I debated trying to set her down, but thought better of it and ejected just seconds before she exploded. While walking the rest of the way home I repeated to myself "I will watch the hills and I will not hold by attack runs too long. I will watch the hills and I will not hold my attack runs..."

 

Thanks for the marvelous terrain!

Flying in South East Vietnam (south Vietnam map in the Gold mod) in clouds at low level can be a scary business aswell...suddenly a Jungle mountain comes out of the mist!! Great fun...
