**spoiler** potential issue in mission 2

[Jazz_44]

Hi Guys,

 

From the very little time I spent in the campaign - 2 missions so far. I can say that it's excellent. Love the atmosphere and the voice overs.

In the second mission, you are ordered to loiter around WP3 and await further orders from Magic (E3). Then you are tasked to intercept two MiG29's and four Su24's. I flew towards them (I think it was heading 290). They started around 170 miles out (according to Magic) so I ordered my wingman to turn on his radar. Soon after, he started to call the bogeys at 160 then 150 miles then stopped.

 

I tried to spot the bogeys with my own radar but couldn't find anything. I asked AWACS for bogey dope and I received a "clean" reply, kept my heading for 2 more minutes, tried again and got another reply that there is nothing there.

 

There were no further instructions or triggers for voice overs from the mission. When I quit the mission I received a score of 50.

 

Will try to fly it again tonight, but was wondering if anyone else ran into this issue?

 

Thanks!

Hi Itael! Thank you for the kind words!

 

Spoilers ahead -

 

 

It may take them a little while to reach Georgia, and there may be periods where they are obscured from the AWACS by terrain so don't be alarmed if Magic reports a clean picture.

 

You'll be given further instructions once the bandits get a little closer to the Georgian border. Depending on how well the AI is doing with following each other this can take a few minutes, so just hang tight near the Abkhazian border (I recommend loitering in the area between Senaki-Kolkhi and Poti) and await further instruction.

 

Once the bandits approach the Georgian border, you should receive a message that the Fencers are breaking off and heading to different locations while the MiG-29s are coming straight at you. You'll be ordered to intercept the Fulcrums and things should progress from there.

Thanks for the explanation!

I can confirm that after I followed your instructions I was able to complete the mission. The part that wasn't clear to me was where I reached WP4, I received the instructions to intercept but lost the contacts, when I flew in the same direction I got a warning from Magic that I'm reaching the border and I should turn back, so I did just that and flew for another good 5 minutes before the bandits showed up again.

Great campaign so far!

Yep! For most missions you will need to observe borders and will be cautioned by Magic if you leave Georgian airspace.

 

Hope you enjoy the rest of the campaign!
