Hippo 1-1 Posted January 17, 2024 Posted January 17, 2024 Hello - I’ve been periodically making my way through this campaign and having a good bit of fun. Thanks for putting this content together GP sims! I did have a question about Mission 8 though. When I anchor at Marshall, there is an SA-6 that starts tracking me and I wait for Whiplash’s go ahead to enter the target area. However as I approach Jiroft, the SA-6 is still not defeated. I checked the logs after I end the mission and it says the SA-6 shot and hit both F-18s (which I assumed were supposed to take care of it but it doesn’t show them firing at said SA-6). If I didn’t read the documentation correctly, then please excuse me but am I supposed to take out the SA-6 or continue the mission despite its location? Whiplash mentions a “missile salvo” when anchoring at Marshall but what does that mean? Any guidance is appreciated on this and thanks for the campaign.
ChillNG Posted January 20, 2024 Posted January 20, 2024 The SA-6 shouldn't be a factor in mission 8, you should never be in range of it. It is slated for destruction in mission 9. I'll check the Hornets though, that sounds like a new development.

The SA-6 nails me every time in this mission, I'm on part one, I believe this is my 14th time flying this mission, almost have the dialogue memorized now, when i am trying to find the T-72's the SA-6 lights me up and kills me, if I skip the T-72's which I do because I absolutely cannot find them, I get the next task with the troops in contact and the SA-6 takes me out. Can someone tell me where these T-72's are and why are the SA-6's killing me if they aren't part of this mission? Thanks! Edit: Just for the record, no issues taking out the BMP's. Its the later tasks and the SA-6 that are an issue. Edited January 22, 2024 by Critter

Its the later tasks and the SA-6 that are an issue. T-72s are as shown in the spoiler, just track north from the BMP position for about 2 miles. SA-6 will only come into play if you get out of position, stay south of phase line orange and you will be well out of it's range. On the final task when you support the TIC make sure you attack from the south as directed and avoid overflying the troops position (so fire then immediately break east) and this will keep you out of range.
