Another Day in Paradise

Briefing:

Credit: GTFreeFlyer.

Update: [OCG]Hells

One hour ago, Hercules 1 was en route with 22 souls on board traveling home for the holidays. 

Radar contact was lost shortly after an emergency was declared 60 miles north of Bandar Abbas. 

The nature of the emergency is unknown.

No communications have been received ever since. 

A combat search and rescue effort are now underway to locate possible wreckage and look for survivors.

Hercules 2 has been dispatched with airdrop reinforcements as a precaution in case there are survivors.  If a rescue is required, you are to assist in the effort. 

There is no time for a formal briefing.  Bullseye, waypoint 2, is the search area.  Move out!

Quick notes from the mission creator: 

1. EVERYTHING YOU NEED FOR NAV IS ON THE KNEEBOARD! 

2. Recommended loadout: Bring stuff for AAA, Man PADS and moving columns.  There will be air threats in this mission.

3. You must return extracted groups to either FARP in order to get credit for saving them (anywhere within 600 feet of the landing pads, and must be with a Huey, not KA-50 or Hind).

4. The four Watches will pop smoke and talk to you when you are within 1 mile of them, and they will automatically hop in or out of your helo when you land and are motionless for 5 seconds.

5. You have AI units you can control with the F10 menu if you need extra help.  The Hueys will stay where they land until you give them another command.  AI units cannot rearm/refuel.

6. Subtitles are available for all the voiceovers.  You can enable them through the F10 menu.  They are on/off for the whole group, not individually.

7. You can monitor UHF 253 if you want to hear the AI units calling out their actions.

8. The mission ends at 17:45.  If extracted units are not back at the FARP by then, you will not get credit for them.

9. ENJOY
