SU27 official Campaign stuck in mission 2

[Ralphk]

Hey folks,

 

i am playing the su27 campaign.. now im in mission 2 escorting 4 su25s to hit their targets... i shot down the three intercepting f16s yet i only got 50 mission success rate and i couldn't pass to mission 3... anyone experienced this?

I think you have to order in two flights of su-25's by pressing f-10 and wait for them to destroy some artillery. Unless I'm thinking of a different mission.

I think its not just about destroying F-16s and saving Su-25s. Su-25's shouldn't be fired up either as in that case they will jettison their stores and will RTB and not attack. Can't confirm though.

Well actually two su25s fired their missiles and destroyed 3 mlrs... they all had their stores on after the engagement. .. i lost my wingman though

From what I can tell from the triggers and goals, two targets have to be destroyed- Arty Target and Arty Target 2.

 

 

Target set Arty 1 is white (because I selected it) and Arty2 is below it on the map. I don't know enough about the ME to to know if every unit has to be destroyed or not. But both need to be hit.

Thanks ironhand i guess only one su25 flight fired the next one didn't. .. but its frustrating provided i shot down 3 f16s alone

I didn't take the time to check but I suspect one flight is set to target 1 and a 2nd flight is set to target the other. The briefing says something about using the comms menu but I didn't pay too much attention to that part. Perhaps I should have.

I ordered both units to attack.

Few issues with that mission I saw

--------------------------------------

 

1. Su-25's don't have enough fuel
   
2. Su-25's don't stay in the orbit before you call them in
   
3. Su-25's don't follow waypoints properly
   
4. Su-25's dumping ordinance if come under fire.
   
5. Su-25's never attacked the assigned targets.
   

Anyhow, mission corrected and attached.

Ian, since I seldom pay much attention to campaigns, is this a new campaign or an old one? Just curious.

I think it has only just come out with dcsw 1.2.11.

 

I haven't played them, just fixing them to be in a playable state.

 

In the mission editor, to my mind things are really broken, or I am missing something ????

 

If AI flight is set to CAP or a SEAD duty and has a hold orbit placed in say second waypoint with a not proceed until flag is activated, they will scream to the very first enemy plane (CAP), or radar sam site (SEAD) no matter were it is on the map, can be 200km away and it will make a bee line for it, totally ignoring all waypoints and orbit holds, when it kills the plane or sam, it flys all the way back to its start position and then continues on the waypoint path, and holds at the orbit point.

 

Will have to test in simple mission and report as bug, if I get the time.

 

Regards, Ian.

This was the old stock campaign, I think there is only this one. I got stuck on mission 2 as well, did it about 5 times before it would complete.

Thanks, folks for the info. I definitely need to learn the ME's bells and whistles.
