Korsun Pocket - Free Hunt Help

[XR62MIB]

Finally finished this mission but I had to do it in arcade. I will keep trying in Realistic.

Tips: Others said it before but when the mission starts do not use any commands to your wingmen except DPAD: down + right

Attack first group yourself. Then once you take those 2 planes out head your plane towards another target group then pull up your map and switch to a plane that is closest to the other targets. Your wingman will already be next to that target, take control and kill them yourself. Keep repeating this.

The key is the down + right and switching planes.

Also when your in the map use the up down arrows to select a different pilot but be sure to look at the left of your map, it shows a red plane icon for that pilots aircraft. I didn't see this the first 10 times I tried for some reason.

Has anyone done this on any difficulty other than arcade? Is it even possible?

Because on arcade your plane can fly a helluva lot faster than it should be able to and you can pretty much one hit kill the targets. And even then it is a hard(ish) mission.

Anyone else think the fail condition is bugged? It just seems to arbitrarily fail you for some reason. It's not like one of the target planes has left the map or anything...

Fortunately, it's not required for any unlocks to complete it on anything other than arcade, but it's annoying to have it as the only bronze badge.
