Solid_84 Posted October 9, 2022 Posted October 9, 2022 (edited) I just played M14 and ran into a serious fuel problem. I ordered Clementine to avoid the outpost and scouted ahead to the target area. Some miles from the town with the trucks and IFV sitting in it are 2 SA6 sites which were still active. I had to burn a LOT of fuel to avoid their missiles and had to break off Rockeye and rocket/gun runs multiple times. I realize I could've let Olive handle it all, but where is the fun in that?!:) When the SA6s finally ran out of missiles, attacking the trucks and infantry also took some time as both Olive and the Venoms missed their targets and I had to jump in. I finally overdid it while attacking the pickups and crashed into a powerline, but I feel that I was doomed at that point anyways as my fuel was down to about 2100 pounds at that point so I wouldn't have been able to make it back to one of the tankers let alone mother. So my question is, are those SA6s supposed to be still active? And if so are there better ways in terms of fuel conservation to avoid their missiles? I always dove down to the deck at speed and let them smash into the hills. EDIT: I finished the mission now and it turns out that the SA6s should not be operating once you get to the crash site. The SEAD element is supposed to take them out. They seem to have missed on my first go. Edited October 10, 2022 by Solid_84
baltic_dragon Posted October 14, 2022 Posted October 14, 2022 I think I rely too much on the AI which breaks a lot of things.. I probably shoud just start putting safeguards everywhere. Saw recently AI F-16s missing with the GBU-12s (1 out of three runs) and even GBU-38s... For more information, please visit my website.

gutersnipe Posted November 6, 2022 Posted November 6, 2022 Hi I had the same issue with the SA6 still being active. I assume you just need to try again and hope the SA6 is downed each time you need to retry? Thanks
baltic_dragon Posted November 8, 2022 Posted November 8, 2022 Well, the AI SEAD flight apparently now started missing the SA-6 quite often, which is likely a new bug in the core game. While updating some other things I'll make sure to build in safeguards so that SA-6 stays dead as it is supposed to. Sorry for the trouble. 1 For more information, please visit my website.
