Sea Dragon Su-33 Campaign problem

[Domcho]

Hello, I've reached the War at Sea mission from the Sea Dragon campaign but I can not complete it. I can't destroy the US carrier because the bombers launch their missiles from way too far in the beginning of the mission and the missiles get shot by the frigates before they reach them and the carrier. There is no point in telling the bombers by radio to perform anti-ship strike because they do it before I even have the time to take off from the Kuznetsov. All their missiles are wasted in the beginning.

 

I have destroyed all the f-15s and the reinforcements as well. I even destroyed the AWACS but the SEAD attack against the frigates is pointless since the bombers waste their missiles from long range at the start of the mission.

 

I am also new to DCS world and especially the Su-27/Su-33 (have been playing with the Su-25T mostly)

 

Is the problem in me or the mission is bugged? :helpsmilie:

 

Thank you.

Have been correcting default missions that come with DCS, and yes most are bugged in some way or another.

 

I have reprogrammed them and checked that all triggers, etc are working and mission does complete as expected.

 

FC3 - Campaigns - First Project, still Work in progress (70% Complete)

A-10c - Campaign - Georgian Hammer (100% completed and on Ed download page)

A-10c - All Single Player Missions - Work in Progress (100% Complete)

Su-25T - Campaign - Georgian Oil Wars (100% Complete and on ED download Page)

Ka-50 - Campaigns - Last to do (0% Complete)

 

The issue you are describing is that the default behaviour for AI cas, cap and sead (CAS -a, CAP -a and SEAD -a) tasks that are set to be radioed into action is that they will magically go straight after any threat within approx 200-250km of them being activated in mission, they ignore all waypoints and the required HOLD statements at the necessary point at which they should wait for the radio call to proceed, once they kill these high threats, they will fly all the way back to their starting point and fly the way points and Hold point.

 

The fix is to go into mission editor and change flights default Cas -a, Sead -a or Cap -a statements to disabled so it looks like Cas -a -x, Sead -a -x, Cap -a -x and this will make the flights follow the all the waypoints correctly and take notice of the HOLD statements so they will not advance until you radio them to do so, you may also have to program some advanced waypoint commands such as "Search in zone" commands to get them to search for targets and attack and remove any other CAS, SEAD or CAP commands on subsequent waypoints unless they are after the waypoint with the HOLD statement.

Updated status of my mission corrections

[DSD]

I'm also having problems with this mission, same problem as Domcho.

As soon as the mission starts the bombers fire all their missiles.

 

I have tried to alter the mission parameters as described by MadDog but I when I click on the bombers the advanced waypoint option is greyed out and I cannot alter anything.

 

Can anybody help??

If you double click on the greyed out commands in the advanced waypoint section the options should come up, if not, can't help sorry.

 

However here are the quickly, edited, fixed and tested version of Mission 8 and 10 of the Su-33 Sea Dragon Campaign.
