Jasonmoofang Posted December 5, 2021 Posted December 5, 2021 A few odd things I encountered with Mission 7. Firstly, the brief and the kneeboard seems to indicate I should have 2 Mk20's loaded on stations 3 and 7, however, my left station seems to be armed with something else that I don't recognize (screenshot attached). Doesn't really affect the mission, but odd all the same. Next, after the first reply from the intercepted Mirages, the instructions seem to ask for Tactical on Aux, but I heard nothing after hitting space, and caught a bit of the tail end when I switched Pri to Tactical instead. Unless I misheard/read? I think I'm pretty sure. Lastly, I'm 100% certain I dropped my (single) Mk20 during the training bout with Psycho - I banked after the run and visually confirmed the bomblets detonating. But some time later while flying the rest of the tasks, it struck me how balanced I was in flight even without trimming - and I turned around and was mildly spooked to see my Mk20 still hanging there on my right wing! Side note while I'm here: can I just say how awesome Mission 5 was? Having read the book I knew that incident was coming and was wondering how well it could translate into a mission, and you surpassed all my expectations. The tension, the drama, the clutch survival, all came out so well. I remember Flip saying the dialogue about going one circle RIGHT as I was breathlessly pulling one circle into Hariri. Magical. 1
unlikely_spider Posted January 22, 2022 Posted January 22, 2022 Those are smoke bombs. You don't employ them in the mission though as Psycho does that part. Also, I had a cluster bomb on center station as well as one wing station opposite of the smoke bombs. You likely dropped the center one during your run. Modules: Wright Flyer, Spruce Goose, Voyager 1

I hade the exact same issue and was about to write about it, then I noticed that there are separate comms plans for pri and aux with different channels. I suspect you might have done the same thing as me and used the plan for pri when selecting aux channel?
