Aircraft Selection and Loadouts

1. Pick an exposed target near friendly support, with a route that keeps you away from other defended sites.
2. With a Walleye, get a solid seeker lock before release. With a Bullpup, keep the target in view and steer the missile in.
3. After the attack, head out along your planned route. Don’t circle over the target looking for another shot.

Watch out: The Bullpup needs your guidance after launch. Don’t fly it like a Maverick. Check the weapons available on this A-4 variant before planning an anti-radar attack.

1. Choose a target you can see clearly in the Maverick’s TV view. Give yourself enough room to lock it before reaching the defenses.
2. If you can’t get a reliable lock, turn away and set up again. Don’t keep closing the distance while you stare at the camera.
3. Once you’ve fired, head toward friendly cover and look for fighters on the way back.

Watch out: This is the late F-4F. The Early and KWS variants have different equipment, so check which one is in your preset.

1. When flying cover, stay near the attack route with enough speed to intercept a fighter. Don’t let a chase pull you away from your teammate.
2. For a Maverick shot, lock the target before firing. For a JDAM drop, check the aimpoint carefully—it won’t follow a convoy that drives away.
3. Leave the area after the attack while you still have speed and room to defend.

Watch out: The JDAM option here is for the premium Netz (Mod), not the tech-tree Netz. You also don’t have radar-guided air-to-air missiles, so plan your fighter engagements accordingly.

1. Pick a target with a clear approach and room to turn away. You’ll need a bombing run rather than a guided-weapon launch from farther out.
2. Settle the aircraft before releasing. Use the sight you practiced with and leave enough clearance from the blast.
3. Keep your speed on the way out. If you switch to fighter cover, choose an interception you can finish without getting stuck in a long turning fight.

Watch out: Use the Kfir for conventional attacks you can repeat reliably. Extra bombs won’t help if the defenses stop you reaching the target.

1. Choose the target and weapon before takeoff so you aren’t learning a new camera at the frontline.
2. Set up the lock or designation with room to turn away. Know whether you need to keep guiding after release.
3. Keep checking outside the camera as the weapon flies. Watch for fighters and avoid drifting into another defended area.

Watch out: The Prototype, standard JH-7A and JH-7A2 have different equipment. Use the loadout menu for the variant you’re flying.

1. Find the radar covering your team’s route and let the attackers know when you’re going in.
2. Get the emitter lock and firing indication. If the radar switches off, check what happened before telling the team it’s destroyed.
3. Once the route opens, cover the attackers or head back to rearm. Keep looking outside while you work the sensors.

Watch out: There’s a lot to manage in the MKK. Learn one job at a time rather than trying to fight aircraft, suppress radars and attack ground targets on the same pass.
