fixed Mi-24P Hind "Revenge" campaign - loadout issue in mission 6

[bingbean]

I am now on mission 6 a till now the mission design will fit more for Ka-50 or AH-64 as for MI-24P Hind. Maybe some mission specific for Hind come later. Like cargo transport, troops transport and so on. 

The main reason why i start this topic is i want report there is wrong payload in mission 6 - escort. I get 2x grenade pods, 8x ATGM “Ataka” what does not work together. The ATGM on middle pilon don't work with any GUV-8700 pod.  Not big deal to change it in editor , but anyway.

 

/edit

I think this mission need revisit completely.  The game crashed for me twice in this mission.  Then in some other attempt AI friendly planes don't destroy SAMs before i reached the location, so the SAMs shot me down. 4 other attempts a was not able survive the ambush, because those hidden M4 guys are so OP. Until a am able to find them and kill them all one my engine is dead. When i finally survive the ambush there come Shilka a several other vehicles from nowhere and shot me down. After 6 hours or so i was able survive everything , the convoy come to the hill, there stop and nothing happened next. I did not have any more ammo anyway so i RTB quit the mission and get result draw 50%. 

So i give up this mission.

I haven't gotten to M6 yet.  So, no bugs for me so far.  The campaign has been a hoot!  "Interdiction" (M3) was a real joy.  Loved seeing the F-15 take a bite our of my team.

It is a shame on me, but i did not save the track.

Well, not sure if i had bad day yesterday or lucky today , but i was able complete the mission on first try today. My wingman and the AI grupe just did 80% of the work. Trigger was activated correctly at the end, so i moved on to mission 7.

[Smokin Hole]

Same problem with the "Escort" mission but no game crashes.  Rockets would be better.  Other than that, I think the mission is fun and fits well in the campaign.  Also, whatever trigger needs to be ticked in order to score a "success" is blind to me.  I think we were mostly successful.  See track.

The GUV has been replaced with a S-8KOM. The fixed mission is being tested by testers.

In the track, you get hit by a Shilka. The track doesn't seem to be playing correctly.

The success of the mission will be when the column of armored vehicles reaches its final waypoint. That's where the Shilka shot at you.

Well, I have some problems in mission 7 as well.

First at all, the k3 SAM SA-11 keep shutting me down, regardles the restriction for the unit set in editor (REO - return fire only and do not attack to air targets)

Next, Can i get some piece of duct tape , to hide the yellow LED "target in range" indicator under gun sight.  I have to supposed to use night vision in this mission, but this indicator overlight the view.  Is there a way how to turn it of, or i just have to shoot out of range until the indicator doesn't light?

In this mission you need to cause panic on the ground and distract the air defense.  Fly low to avoid being shot down.  Shoot at random, you don't have to hit the target.  The helicopter cockpit is not designed for night attacks.

O.K. I will do to read briefing more attention next time.

You can set that light off by switching the switch “range data auto/man” to the lower MAN position in the upper left of the weapons panel. This will turn off both the green light (auto system operational) and yellow light (in range cue/doors open).

In Mission 6, I changed the loadout to rockets and was fine. As for the ambush, my advice is, when escorting any convoy, not just the one in this mission, to always hang back or off to one side, orbiting at a reasonable cruise speed. This achieves two things: first, you won't get caught in the same ambush as the convoy itself; and second, you'll be in position to launch a counterattack as soon as you turn on-target. If you're right on top of the convoy, you won't be able to line up and shoot back at the ambushers.

Apart from that, there's an interesting anomaly in this mission: I found an enemy convoy made up of trucks, 2S9s, BTRs, one T-72, and one Shilka, running roughly southeast on the same route as the friendly convoy. I could see it, but Petrovich couldn't find it for the life of him. Switching to the CPG seat, I could see it through the sight and shoot missiles at it myself. Interestingly, the convoy also didn't appear to see me until I opened fire, because I originally flew past it well within range of the Shilka and the BTRs, and we all know how they normally behave, so I suspect that this is more likely a mission design issue rather than a Petrovich bug. It happened on a subsequent playthrough as well.

This convoy avoids trouble and seeks to escape without a fight. There was no order to attack it - Petrovic is following orders.

Hi guys,

Having a ton of fun with this campaign! But I can't seem to progress.

One of the C1 groups (not sure which since they are hidden on the F10) makes it to the win zone and I kill the Shilka and bunch of BMP1s and a BRDM. 

I noticed in the "WIN F556" trigger, there is a 'time since flag 555,15) and 'group alive C1', but no 'group alive c1w'... did my group C1W make it but not trigger the win state? Track attached.

Also one of the groups, probably C2, stops at the train tracks and doesn't proceed. Not sure if this is intentional.

Thanks everyone, great to see the Hind finally get its campaign

Hello, you missed the last enemy unit.

These enemy units had to move and start combat with the Red convoy. But a game error occurred. I think this error was caused by going through several missions in a row. Restarting the mission should fix this problem.

This mission will be updated in the next update of the simulator. The armament of the helicopter will be changed. You can download the updated mission above without waiting for the game update.

Thanks SL PAK, I replayed my track and they actually advanced on the friendly column this time and me and the lead Hind flight wiped them out and I got a mission accomplished.

Meanwhile Petrovich and I will get our eyes checked. Thanks again for the campaign!

The loadout fix for mission 6 is part of today's OB update.

Thanks guys for giving the Hind the love it deserves! Best module, IMO.

I have problems with the first escort mission. I believe it is no. 6. Leader just fly away at the end of the task and do odd manoeuvres and me and the wingman loiter over the area. 
last convoy is invisible to Petrovich 

I went back and refueled and rearmed and returned by myself. Just to see if there was missing something. And all enemy was gone. Mission ended with draw. No mission complete. I will try today and see if I missed a trigger
