Chacal_IX Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 I am having some difficulty completing mission 24. The C-130 escort is going well, with no casualties and the Mig-21s are all shot down. Then comes the escort of the L-39 which lands without difficulty in Gelendzihk followed by my wingman and me. But the mission is only 50% complete What is missing to complete this mission?
SorelRo Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 Wow, you got really close! I checked the parameters and 50 points are for Heli group to be alive, I tested that and it works on my end. all 3 transport airplanes to be alive. 50 points for L-39 to land and you to land and be stopped. I ran the mission once and went okay. I'll test it a bit more later on today. Thanks a lot for flying it all. Cheers, Sorel
Chacal_IX Posted March 5, 2021 Author Posted March 5, 2021 I'm sorry, but I think I'm going to abandon this campaign. This mission seems almost impossible to me to succeed. Nearly 20 attempts with always at least one loss of one of the C-130s. It's too frustrating. The Mig-21s with their missile don't give us a chance and it's not our wingman who will help us much. The only time I succeeded, one of the C-130s apparently crashed on the runway on the way back without understanding why. If someone succeeded, I would be interested to know what tactics they used. But for the moment I'm too tired to repeat this mission over and over again.
SorelRo Posted March 5, 2021 Posted March 5, 2021 On this one flight integrity is important, the way I do it is take off, go on route, wait for my flight to join and then accelerate and get the position of the Migs with the E2C while still keeping your wingman with you, so don't go AB, pop the radar up so the Migs see me as threat and ask the wingman to cover me and pop one head on, I turn for the Mig that's going for the transports after that, and if you are lucky your wingman either tangles with the other two or at least takes one of them down. It's a 2 vs 4 fight where you have the advantage since the Mig's prioritize the transports. Sorry about this, a future iteration of this campaign will have an insta win option available, it's about 3 weeks away
Chacal_IX Posted March 6, 2021 Author Posted March 6, 2021 I finally re-tested and managed to keep the C-130s alive but the mission was only 50% validated. I will be attaching my Tacview files from the first test and the second. You can see that it is every time the third C-130 lands that it is considered destroyed. This is my first ACMI file. Tacview-20210302-210907-DCS.zip.acmi And the second...Tacview-20210306-160732-DCS.zip.acmi
SorelRo Posted March 7, 2021 Posted March 7, 2021 Thanks a lot for this. Damn that AI! I'll work on a fix. Sorry for this.
