![]() ![]() Each sortie consists of two 5-minute engagements against a specific target type. The campaign puts you through 24 DACT engagements over the course of 12 sorties, largely following the pattern of the F-5E BFM campaign. There are many mountain ridges, dried lakes, and stretches of desert out there, and while it will eventually be very familiar, you still need to be sure you end up in the right place at the right time - the support documents are there to help you with exactly that. The supporting material provides maps, navigational charts, and procedure walk-throughs for flying to and checking in and out of the designated combat areas. Unlike the BFM campaign, both you and the opponents will be using guided weapons, with the added complexity of engagement envelopes and counter-measure usage this entails. It is not just a matter of getting a quick fight in, but also about properly navigating around the NTTR to get to the training area without disturbing the locals, and about following the safety regulations for both the trip and the engagement. The campaign does not offer any kind of plot or storyline, just a set of sparring matches against singular AI opponents, but comes with plenty of voice-overs from observers and exercise commanders grading yours and your opponents' performance. Obviously, you need to own both the F-5E-3 aircraft and the Nevada terrain modules to use this Campaign. Just like before, you take to the skies over the NTTR in your F-5E-3 to engage in 2v2 engagements with a wide variety of opposing aircraft. ![]() The focus is on manoeuvring along with your wingman to put the opponents on the defensive and to defeat them more with tactics than with fancy gunnery. ![]() wing engagement using radars and missiles and with a wingman to both help and rely on. This time, though, it is no longer a matter of that rare one-on-one gun-jousting dogfights, but about full wing vs. BFM is just the beginning, and it is now time to teach proper air combat using the same type of DACT (Dissimilar Aircraft Combat Training) setup. Welcome back to the 65th Aggressor Squadron. ![]()
