markom Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 Let me start by saying that I quite enjoy the campaign. I love the "short format" of the missions so far. I do have a question/confusion about the mission success criteria. I will ask below because it contains spoilers for the first two missions. Spoiler In M01, we are tasked with some low flying, marking one target, and destroying the convoy. I did fairly OK on the first, missed the second by a mile, and bombed an empty stretch of the road. I managed somehow to loop back and destroy most of the trucks, but also remembered that wingman could do some damage. In the end, I had only like 2 kills, but mission score 100%. In M02, I was tasked with destroying two MiG-21s on the apron, and supporting the troops. I managed to miss all of it, mow down friendly platoon (green smoke means "shoot here" was the logic I applied)... In the end, I had a bunch of friendly kills, and absolutely no enemy ones. Again, mission declared 100% success. So... what constitutes mission success/failure in the campaign? Or is the emphasis really on playing along and doing what one can, regardless of actual "mission success"? I am OK if that's the case, but it's a little unclear to me. 1
Looking Glass Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 At the moment the campaign is not set up for accurate scoring. We will look into imrpoving the score system for the next update patch as we realise that some players like this Currently - simply playing the mission will provide you with enough score to access the next mission even if you fail. Point is/was to get players through the campaign rather than having to re-fly long missions. Players then have the option to replay a failed mission and try again or go to next mission. Hope that makes sense. 1
markom Posted March 13, 2023 Author Posted March 13, 2023 Oh yeah, totally! It may make sense to outline that in a sentence or two. In hindsight, that's precisely what "focus on immersion and gameplay" means, but still it makes sense letting folks know. 1
Looking Glass Posted April 3, 2023 Posted April 3, 2023 New simple score system campaign wide implemented. Each mission offers chance of 100 points. Details added to all Mission briefs. Will add the details of how the score and progression flow works in the campaign and add to main 'Welcome to Camapign' PDF and other new docs that are being adeed too. Thanks null 1
