Red Storm Rising DCS Mission 4 The Dance of the Vampires Part 1

DCS Mission Demo
Mission Briefing
We are expecting a major air raid this morning. The Hummers are up and we are equipping all aircraft for a major engagement. The Task Force is planning to have the decks clear if we get Vampires inbound.

I realize you were not initially assigned to the Hawkeye escort but Colt 1-1 had a mechanical issue and we need you up to escort Overlord to the North East asap. You will be relieved by Dodge group shortly so you can return to finish arming and refuel for possible bomber intercepts.

Take off after Lead and form up (Watch Ford 1’s ground crew for clues for when you should Salute to launch within seconds of him). Keep formation during your entire flight until Lead breaks. Carrier deck time is at a premium so no screwing around on approach. Case I recoveries are in effect. We will see you back on the deck shortly.

CV-71 Tacan: 71X
CV-71 ICLS: 11

Hints: ATC and Alt Hold can really help your formation flying while you are trying to adjust items in the cockpit. Don’t forget to turn on your datalink and radar if you loose your wingman and can’t locate him in the clouds.

Mission Time: 30-40 Mins
Editor Notes: A few workarounds will likely result in a “no communication” on carrier landing if you are following your lead in. If you use the radio menu for your approach, it will likely mess up your lead’s approach and have you number 1 for landing so don’t use the radio unless you are going to land on your own.
