F-22 Air Dominance Fighter / Red Sea Tour / SAMs

Full F-22 ADF playlist here:    • F-22 Air Dominance Fighter   Excerpt from the Strategy Guide: This and the next mission are part of a commando raid to liberate a captured merchant ship. In this mission you are tasked to clear the way for the following helicopter flights by eliminating the enemy's long range air defences. As ifthis was not already dangerous enough, it is also a night mission. However, there are tvvo types of nights inF-22, pitch-black and moonlit. If you do not feel quite comfortable to fly completely on instruments or with the use of the night vision devices, I would suggest that you restart the mission until you get a full moon. Apart from the night part, this mission is, again, pretty doable. You can pretty much dash in, kill the targets and be gone before somebody notices that you have been there. The only difficulty is to make sure that you hit the right targets and do not waste your missiles on air defence units that should not concern you. To make sure you kill the right targets, fly straight on after you have passed walpoint 3, your targets are defending the airfield beyond the waypoint and are all within the red killboxes. Build a shoot list, order your wingman to engage and start your own run. Toggle through the targets until have the missile launchers selected, there is no sense in wasting those expensive HARM missiles on mere AAA vehicles. At night, the up-front display is not quite sufficient to discriminate between the dilferent types of targets, you might have to go down to the ATTACK MFD and switch the IR view on to get a picture clear enough for positive identification.
