Pro-tip: if you end up in a game of 'ring-around-the-targetthatwon'tstopfuckingrotating' with aircraft a few times, best you can do is break off to intercept another craft with it's tail end facing you. Let the missiles do the chasing after getting in range then break off and intercept another after getting too close, rinse and repeat. Works for me on missions with mostly aircraft. For this mission in particular, pick an aircraft with a low cruise speed and good deceleration like an F-18 or F-15 and let your missiles do the work on ground targets at the lowest speed possible, basically play CAS. By the time you've exited your strafing run you've blown up 3-5 targets, if you line it up and go slow that is.
I always hear people complain about this mission. Is it really this hard? I had no trouble doing it with any plane on any difficulty since the day I played it.
Ah yes, the "hide and seek in a fucking sandstorm" mission.
Should’ve not chosen F22 it was pain😑
Did on ace difficulty not that long ago, it was almost impossible without using the fastest planes, but do I love this game. So much fun.

Pretty easy with weapons with a large AOE like LACMs or SFFS
That mission is the worst tbh
