Mission 8 struggling

[Xxx]

Sorry to say, but I can not complete mission 8 Elint.

 

 

I can not see the enemy troop positions without "cheating" and pausing the game!

 

 

Even when paused I can not see the enemy troops. I see a truck stationary, but no troops?

 

 

Asking Cotton flight to engage them does not work, Cotton says they are engaging but then fly away from the area? If they would engage, then I could see a way to complete this mission. Asking for help with the approaching Mi-8 doesn't seem to work either.

 

 

 

 

Sending the rescue helo in always ends in it being shot at by the well hidden troops.

 

 

I realise the troops are "special forces" but they are too well hidden for my screen....LOL

 

 

If the troops could be firing some tracer at our downed pilot, then I may be able to pick them out. As it is, asking a fast jet pilot to see these troops has beaten me! The troops are just a couple of pixels against a lot of tree clutter, shadows and buildings.

 

 

This could be my lack of eyesight, but I think perhaps the requests for assistance may be broken?

 

 

Thanks.

 

 

EDIT. Please disregard the comments about Cotton assistance being broken! It was my impatience to do all the work myself! Best to be patient and let the mission run on a while. Eventually all assistance is given.

I re armed with Belouga cluster bombs as well as the rockets!! The Mi-8 needs good old cannons though! The Magics don't lock too well on helos! Overall, this mission is great fun and I can see how much work was needed to get it to work....Notwithstanding A.I that can misbehave!!
