--M1- A New Beginning

Well, I managed it this time. I also flew a fair bit better (lower) since I'd been practicing in other scenarios, but I'm sure rotating it helped too.

A little late, but the patch is here, the boltstrike has been rotated to give players more time to react.

Thanks! It's probable I'm -also- a bad pilot, but it doesn't feel like something I can improve on by throwing myself at the wall when the experience is so abrupt, and also after several other steps. :)

I'll rotate the SAM to make it take more time to fire. Expect a patch in 1-3 hours.

Nope. I cannot complete this because I start that objective phase -in range- of the sam, and with no awareness of where it is because it doesn't seem to exist before that phase.

So this is a pretty good tutorial, until the "now destroy a radar SAM" stage, because it typically spawns the radar SAM in range, tracking, and as you're finishing reading the sentence about the objective the missile warning comes in because you've been fired on.

Given the range (I'm usually around 3-5km away from it when I kill the IR sam) it's really hard to evade lock, and I'm usually dead before the advice about how to evade the lock pops up. I'm going to retry and kill the IR sam from the other side and lower down to try and get me some more time to react, but it might be a good idea to put this particular enemy spawning quite a bit further away.
