solved Mission 5 - Mi8 Indestructible

[_Spad_]

Hi,

 

Loving the campaign so far. Really impressive!

 

I have run into an issue with Mission 5 where the Mi-8 seems to be indestructible?? I dropped a GBU-31, hit it with the 30mm cannon and also emptied a rocket pod trying to kill it! Still no luck!

 

I tried to upload a track file but it exceeds the maximum file size limit.

 

Thanks

Hm.. I’ll check, this sounds weird, but I’ve seen weirder things happen

Hey @Spad, I just tested the mission and the helo (you are talking about the one at WP HOTEL?) gets smacked every time it gets hit with the GBU. Please PM me if you're still having trouble and also let me know which version of A-10C your using (I or II)? For PM - best email (baltic_dragon@icloud.com) or via Discord / Facebook. Cheers!

Yeah, it's the one at WP HOTEL. I am sure I hit it as I got the "Mi-8 damaged" prompt. I kept attacking it as there seemed to be no mission progress and I figured it mustn't have been destroyed.

 

I'll try and send you a track file.

 

ps I'm using the A-10c v2 Tank Killer

 

Thanks

@baltic_dragon I flew the mission again last night and everything worked fine. Direct hit with the GBU-31 and the mission progressed.

 

The first time I flew the mission I remember my GBU wasn't exactly a direct hit. Could this be why I didn't progress initially?

 

Thanks

Glad it worked! That could have been a reason, DCS does not simulate frag damage too well
