Ground targets are way too hard to see in Sim mode.

[Bael]

Thank you for the tips, these are actually techniques I'm already using. But even using both of these methods I do not feel the current system works well enough.

The root of the problem is simply that ground target models do not appear soon enough. If you're close enough to see the muzzle flash, the model should be visible as well - and thats currently not the case. You see a muzzle flash, line up on it (they're not pinpoint accurate), and the model doesn't appear until you're already too close to make any necessary corrections to your path - even if you zoom your view in!

And don't forget targets like rail cars which don't have visual aids like muzzle flashes. Just fly low over the railroad tracks and watch as the train cars suddenly just pop into view well below your sights. It's a bit odd that you can see trees farther off in the distance than you can see train cars. The same with Tiger tanks parked in the middle of snowy fields, you can see the flash from 2 miles away but can't actually see the tank until you're practically close enough to spit on it.

Heres an idea...just blow up everything with rockets...i completed TIGER HUNT on sim by blowing everything on the ground that moved...IT WAS FUN!!!!

Quite a feat, given that you only get 40 rockets - provided you don't get shot down or crash.

Usually I make two quick passes, and I see the ground targets fine on Sim. Then on the third pass, I make my attack.

dont forget it fires 2 rockets at a time on sim mode, so thats only 20 shots.

1. In sim mode tiger junt the enemy is extremly difficult to see, let alone that you can make out YOUR objectives(???)

2. If you succeed in the first phase, i would be very surpirsed if you still have rockets left for the train and tigers

The only thing i can think of is that you order you squad to make the kills for you. But more than often they are also shot down.

One time i thought there was an airstrip (blue line, but not a double line) of some sorts were you could refill your weapons. When i arrived there (with 4 enemy planes chasing me) there was no airbase or something.

The mission is cool, but running out of rockets, the best strategy is just crash, better still, kamikaze on a target and respawn with full load (not really SIM though)

Dont forget this is campaign, missions who are also build around the Arcade mode.
Single missions are more Sim missions, wich you can play with limited fuel and ammo.
