Mission 3 Tu-22 problem

Hello Bmanx...as instructed by AWACS, do not close within 2 miles of the Tu-22!

 

I'll check into the ROE specifics, but it sounds like you might be approaching his tail too closely..if you are outside of the Georgian SAM's WEZ, you will be ordered to abort and the mission will fail as his tail gunner opens up (and probably shoots you down.) You may have been crossing into the SAM WEZ at the moment you approached too closely and created a strange scenario where both messages played.

 

Maintain a 2-mile trail with the Tu-22 once ordered to intercept and you should be good to go!

I see the problem. You are ordered to only engage 2 out of the 4 of the Su-24s and allow the rest to retreat; the mission should actually fail the instant you kill all 4, so you have found a bug! :) Just not quite the one you thought.

 

Engage only 2 Su-24s as ordered and you should be A-OK. I'll look into fixes for the failure conditions on the next update, but at the moment the .miz should be just fine if you follow orders. :)

Have the same problem the TU22 engage and we are kicked for weapon usage.

 

Maybe I read wrong but do we have to go within or outside the 2 miles distance ?

Flew it again, came from behind up to 1.5 miles and no problem as the TU22 didnt engage me.

 

Check the trigger about the weapon employement, I believe it fails the mission if the TU22 fires.

 

Btw, nice idea the way it ends !

You are supposed to hold at 2 miles...at 2 miles, the player VO should report that he is in position. If you close within 1 mile, you should receive a verbal warning to increase spacing. If you close within 1/4 mile you should fail the mission as the tail gunner opens up.

 

After seeing numerous people fly up his tailpipe in spite of being warned about the tail gunner and told to hold at 2 miles ;) , we added the second verbal warning. It's possible this didn't make it into the last DCS patch, but a new version has been submitted to ED.

 

Glad it worked out either way, enjoy the rest of the campaign!

 

EDIT:

Just checked in 1.5.7 and it looks like our update didn't make it into the last build, so the verbal warning to increase spacing isn't in yet. This should make it in next patch! Sorry if things seemed vague for the time being.

It ended that way in real life - of course without any F-15s behind the Backfire. This was one of the biggest successes of the Georgians - downing the Tu-22 (rest of the kills claimed by the Georgians is pretty dubious and most probably - even according to Russian sources - was caused by friendly fire).

 

If Backfire shooting the cannon really fires the trigger, then something has changed - before “ON SHOT” condition didn’t react to guns. Will check it.
