anasithera Posted June 4, 2016 Posted June 4, 2016 Are there missions being beta tested by players? I've seen several people talking about the campaign but I can't access any gazelle missions yet.

anasithera Posted June 4, 2016 Posted June 4, 2016 Oh. Hey. I'm an idiot and hadn't looked since the patch. Though I'd love it if the changelog would get updated with all these recent changes.
Datek Posted June 4, 2016 Posted June 4, 2016 The Meatboy voice is a bit jarring when you first hear because you're not expecting it, but then it grows on you. I really like it. I'll fly with Meatboy anytime.
Ligeti Posted June 4, 2016 Posted June 4, 2016 Meatboy's acting is fine for a sim imo, however his accent sounds like an English aristocrat from the 1920s (or perhaps Harry Enfield or Paul Whitehouse doing an impression of one.) No one talks like that now. For more contemporary English AAC/RAF/RN accent references there's lots of interview examples on YouTube. Not a big issue imo, the module is great, just saying :-)
dimitriov Posted June 4, 2016 Author Posted June 4, 2016 Me I like it, it's exactly what you imagine as a french about British... :D No, just kidding :megalol:. Could someone provide me good infantry procedures (Not necessarily JTAC) to call in an helicopter Canon/rockt strike ? Thanks ;) Nicolas
anasithera Posted June 4, 2016 Posted June 4, 2016 I love it. I love every line. Meatboy and Hammer and all of them. Though I do wish the first mission didn't force me to follow Meatboy at speeds lower than the autopilot will function at just because my Nadir can't save waypoints 10+. That thing fixes every issue I had with the Huey, really, til it runs out of space. I just know that Apache can push 150kph, though, I'm certain it can.
dimitriov Posted June 4, 2016 Author Posted June 4, 2016 Ah yes, true, Meatboy only flies on 200 km/h on the dev version, forgot to put it on the public one :megalol: Don't hit me please :'(
Ramsay Posted June 4, 2016 Posted June 4, 2016 (edited) Could someone provide me good infantry procedures (Not necessarily JTAC) to call in an helicopter Canon/rockt strike ? The US Army Field Manuals are the only resource I can think of.

Could someone provide me good infantry procedures (Not necessarily JTAC) to call in an helicopter Canon/rockt strike ? Thanks ;) Nicolas I can help you with US/NATO call for fire (Artillery, mortars, etc.). I'm not familiar with the specific format for calling in a helo strike but I imagine it would be similar if not identical.
MAD-MM Posted June 6, 2016 Posted June 6, 2016 Mission 6 I killed 3 vehicles from the observation point, was there more can't find any future trucks? I am blind? found only angry infantry with strelas and mission is not procress. Once you have tasted Flight, you will forever walk the Earth with your Eyes turned Skyward. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 9./JG27
DarkCrow Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 I flew the first 2 missions yesterday and I have to say I'm enjoying it very much. Excellent job! I didn't pass the second mission but I see why now after looking over this thread. I missed the landing zone. Also I didnt even know there was a pdf briefing so I will have to check that out when home again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
zaelu Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 I liked the voice acting. Reminded me of No One Lives Forever!

Johnny Dioxin Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 Thanks for the kind comments. :) I know I got a bit angry when someone was knocking it - but I know how much work went into the campaign - Dimitriov did a first class job, and that whilst doing his studies and exams, too! He deserves a lot of credit for what he achieved with the Gazelle, so to see one of, if not the first comment was someone complaining, it was very disheartening. As for the Meatboy voice - I knew what Dimitiriov was looking for, and I knew I could do a reasonable job of that kind of voice. I had my doubts, many times, during the production and I lost count of how many times I asked if I should re-record the lines. But also sometimes I just couldn't stop laughing when I listened back to the recordings :D It's meant as a light-hearted poke at the traditional (in the fictional sense) English cavalry officer of old. I think I called it "Biggles in modern combat" or something similar. All for fun. those that didn't like it will be pleased to know that all my other voice acting has been with my normal voice :) 1 Rig: Asus TUF GAMING B650-PLUS; Ryzen 7800X3D ; 64GB DDR5 5600; RTX 4080; VPC T50 CM2 HOTAS; Pimax Crystal Light I'm learning to fly - but I ain't got wings With my head in VR - it's the next best thing!

I know how much work can go into even just a single mission as I have built one. One of the only rewards of building one, aside from the joy of the creation process, is to see the community enjoy the final product. I think the voice overs are great. They bring fun and character to the missions. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think I called it "Biggles in modern combat" or something similar. All for fun. I liked it a lot! :thumbup: I think it's obvious the campaign takes a somewhat liberal and fun approach at the whole thing, so the voice just suits it very nicely. Besides, I think I've heard you in quite a few other missions as AWACS/ABCCC and appreciate the variety in the way you voice those different roles. :thumbup: Haven't flown the Gazelle campaign since I finished it in an early version, but I really liked it.
Johnny Dioxin Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 Thanks Yurgon. I still haven't heard my wife in the campaigns yet - so I need to get some flying done (much easier now I have the fantastic Rift to make it appear so much more real). I did a couple of the other English voices in the Gazelle campaign - Meatboy 2 and Kilo. But it's the M2K campaign where I do AWACS etc. Probably suits me more as my main role in the military was on command nets, so I'm used to bossing people around! :D More congrats to Dimitriov, though - I think he said that he did all of the different voices in the French campaign himself :shocking: Rig: Asus TUF GAMING B650-PLUS; Ryzen 7800X3D ; 64GB DDR5 5600; RTX 4080; VPC T50 CM2 HOTAS; Pimax Crystal Light I'm learning to fly - but I ain't got wings With my head in VR - it's the next best thing!
DarkCrow Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 Passed mission 2 now that I had help after landing in the lz ;). I even took the direct route instead of going back the way I came to rtb and hunted down a AAA using my RWR and one remaining missile. So much fun. The first time I flew it I took out all the threats at the camp and had nothing left to kill the artillery with. I rtb-ed and tried to rearm unsuccessfully. They said they rearmed me but I still didn't have missiles. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Yurgon Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 But it's the M2K campaign where I do AWACS etc. Yup, that's the one I meant, I was lucky enough to be allowed to test it. Can't wait for the campaign to get released, I think people will love it. :thumbup: More congrats to Dimitriov, though - I think he said that he did all of the different voices in the French campaign himself :shocking: Haha, didn't know that. With my rather rusty French, I probably shouldn't check it out anyway. ;) I rtb-ed and tried to rearm unsuccessfully. They said they rearmed me but I still didn't have missiles. Not sure if this is what happened to you, but... sometimes when I take battle damage, the damn missiles are just kicked off their mounts. At first I thought rearming must have malfunctioned, but then in a totally different flight, I was 100% sure I had taken off with 4 missiles, had taken a few hits, and one or two launchers where completely gone. Could that have happened to you as well? In any case, this is an amazing feature! :thumbup:

dimitriov Posted July 19, 2016 Author Posted July 19, 2016 "I think it's obvious the campaign takes a somewhat liberal and fun approach at the whole thing, " What, my characters and approach of the question don't look serious ? :D
audax Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 Could it be that Mission 5 is buggy at the moment? I arrived at WP 8, the ambush spot, and there was no convoy with a truck. I eventually enabled labes and saw a parked convoy with a few APCs and a Shilka in the next village, but they did not move. Meatboy even said his line about seeing the convoy and that the Truck is the 5th vehicle in the convoy. Even with lables and directly on WP8, I could not find that convoy.
Yurgon Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 What, my characters and approach of the question don't look serious ? :D Remembering your first preview video, it looked like your flying was more dangerous than anything the enemy could throw at you. :D Besides, when I flew the campaign and hovered in that exact same spot, I was shot in the back by an enemy tank. :music_whistling: :lol: Could it be that Mission 5 is buggy at the moment? As I remember it, the vehicles moved nicely towards the coast line. Weren't the late activation and group AI on/off problems fixed with the latest version?
audax Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 Wait...coast line? WP8 was in the mountains for me. :o I'll have to try it again, but flying over the dark water always scares me…
