The F16s wont strike one of the two static targets they are supposed to destroy to kick off the attack, therefore overlord doesnt clear you to start engaging targets on the AO. They also start engaging targets of opportunity right away after going for the bombing run. Also, although not technically a bug, i missed the pontiac (predator UAV) initial status of targets. Pontiac gives the status update at rolex -3 minutes, but you get the heads up to tune in to the correct radio channel for the status when you reach IP dodge, so if you happen to arrive after rolex -3 you will miss it. Not a huge deal since you can check the reported targets with F10 menu, but it can be confusing.

Just to confirm this also happened to me. I played this mission like a month ago and everything went fine, helicopters landed with no problems, but i didnt have time to go back to base and land to complete the mission so I replayed it recently and one of the helos was wandering around unable to land, so it seems the july patch that changed some of the helo AI behaviour broke the mission.
