Campaign status

[escaner]

Hello, I am considering the purchase of this campaign. What is its current status? The missions still work or they have problems?

Thanks!

I have played the first 5 missions with no issues whatsoever. I'm loving it to bits. It is not hard or convoluted but at least I get to use the NTTR map in a proper mission aside from the fast ones I can make in the mission editor.

 

Just remember to check the documents on the campaing folder for proper briefing.

Thanks for the feedback, Eviscerator.

I finished this campaign about 6 months ago with no issues.

Thanks guys, I purchased it yesterday, along with Baltic Dragon's for the M2000.

Let us know how it goes for you. I've had some issues with lockups in the A-10C RF Campaign and I even asked quite a while ago if it was still compatible with Version 2.5.xxx

Finished the campaign right now. Not a single problem or bug found.

 

The campaing lacks variety, but the cards and story makes for it. It would be nice if there would be blue ground forces as well, but it is supposed to be training so it is ok.

 

I like the carefully planned flight plans in and out of the NTTR, it really helped me to understand how to use the map itself.

 

Now I regret the map itself is underrated and lacks content both player made and official.

 

By the way, even if they give you the option to just quit in flight once you finish the objective, I've flown back and landed - taxied and shut off the plane EVERY TIME. Because I really like this map, and I can traverse it every day and never get tired of it.

I have finished the campaign and for me it is a mixed bag.

 

I appreciate that the second mission teaches you the entry and exit routes to the training area plus the visual references, but on the other hand many missions have some issue. E.g. in M1 you arrive into Nellis in a group of 12 A-10 only to find a chaos with all AI trying to land at the same time or M2 where your leader flies at 290KIAS, a speed that you cannot match even at full throttle when the planned speed was 250KIAS.

 

The rest of the missions (M3-M10) are all about the same. Besides the same entry and exit, always kill a few ground vehicles on enemy territory. The actual difference is that sometimes they move, sometimes not and sometimes it is night time. At least it is cool to start your aircraft and taxi in front of the other participants which will advance you enroute to the push point. Talking about start, all combat missions start with the aircraft cold and dark except for the two night beginning in the night, where you start already on the runway ready for takeoff (I really don't understand why).

 

The briefings seem well planned at a first glance, but they are a bit lacky in some areas. They say the targets for each flight, which is nice and sometimes their time on target, but you never know which your own TOT should be nor your order in the push. Even sometimes the times are obviously wrong. E.g. push 14:51 and endvul 14:54 in M6. There I arrived to the target when everybody was already leaving only to find that another group of A-10 had destroyed my primary and secondary targets.

 

The weapons are appropriate for the missions with the exception of M9 where you find among your little arsenal a coupe of GBU-38 and rockets when your targets are moving tanks.

 

About other issues, I had a game crash in M8 and some trouble with JTAC in M4.

 

To sum up:

Good: it shows you the procedures and landmarks in the NTTR and you become to know it pretty well.

Bad: repetitive missions and a few issues here (but they are not game breakers)
