I will be curious to know if this is indeed a bug that came with 1.2.7 that may have had an impact on other missions or just an issue with this mission. Hopefully an answer to this question can be found in the final analysis. So often I have asked myself the question, did I fail a mission because the mission is broke or because I lacked the skills to be successful?
I wonder if ED realizes that the number of faithful DCS enthusiasts is dwindling and that many like myself are hanging on by a thread only due to their enjoyment of the MP aspect alone. This kind of issue may be trivial to many that dabble in SP only, but HUGE to folks like me.
