Hornet's Nest

[Amy'sKeeper]

I can't figure out why so many people find this mission hard. I'm not ragging on anyone but it was the first mission I did on realistic. It's by far the easiest mission for me that involves other planes.
Go toward the yellow dot, as soon as you have it targeted tell your wing men to attack. Go to the next group, do the same thing until you get the next objective. Fly there at WEP(don't bother with the ground units or the enemy planes) bomb 3-5 yellow ground units and the mission is over...
I just played this mission again to make sure I wasn't missing something and I'm not. Do I have the wrong mission?

Sorry about the tiny subtitles. I'd make a better video - as soon as I get a Hauppauge HD-PVR which, until Sony gives back OtherOS, may be never

Feel free to rip the video and watch it at full framerate if necessary.

Here are some tactical tips:

) use sim mode. Objectives are less unfair.

) maintain your speed and altitude. It's easier to spot the transports against the snow than the sky.

) attack from above or the side. When on the way to intercept, tell your wingmen to form up; tell them to attack only after you start attacking, then they'll attack from the side or above too, and they won't fall behind.

) you may be able to attack from the 6 without getting killed, but it is still a huge waste of time, and may get your wingmen killed too. You need them.

) If you kill just one plane out of each group, your wingmen are likely to finish off the rest of them quickly.

) once the next mission objective starts, German fighters will appear out of nowhere and tear your plane to shreds no matter what you do. So set up a couple extra attempts.
