Dograw75 Posted July 29, 2021 Posted July 29, 2021 During my CAP to protect the Kiowas, it starts out fine, get to engage a Mig or 2. As time goes however the picture becomes clean, the flight starts running low on fuel, and there is no action. There will be occasional call outs such as "He's Going down!" or "Second Group is down!" all the while the scope is completely clear. I assume I am missing a trigger somehow, but I continually fly the FP until bandits are close enough to warrant deviating from the flight plan to engage. Am I missing something? Or is this a long slow burn mission, and my fuel management skills are letting me down? Any help would be appreciated.
SorelRo Posted July 29, 2021 Posted July 29, 2021 Hi there, It's a combination of both, indeed on this one, you have to stay on CAP for quite some time. I'm afraid that the AI in it's wisdom are venturing too close to the SAM sites and are being picked off by the HAWK site. I'll run a test and, if there are any problems i'll try to correct it and push an update. Cheers, 1
Dograw75 Posted September 3, 2021 Author Posted September 3, 2021 Ok I just recently revisited this campaign. I think my problem was just not understanding the details of the mission, and just following waypoints. Am I supposed return to WP4 after reaching 5? I had just been flying all waypoints in a big square, not even paying attention that I am supposed to be protecting helo's near the battle lines.
SorelRo Posted September 4, 2021 Posted September 4, 2021 You are flying a CAP mission, your station is between WP 4 and 5. Once you are there AWACS will give you vectors to the two groups of Mig's going for the helicopters. you should engage them and shot them down, then, make it to the base. This is just a CAP mission. Hope this helps. Cheers,
Dograw75 Posted September 5, 2021 Author Posted September 5, 2021 Unfortunately even after doing that I never got a single engagement, all the Migs were shot down by AI. But hey, I still completed the mission. Anyways, small issues aside, great campaign, I am thoroughly enjoying it.

Thanks a lot for letting me know.
