M5: Needle in a fish bowl, couple issues

[CH4Pz]

So just finshed 5, an i was able to complete it, but not sure what happened to matrix but didnt have him with me whole flight, obviously his voice lines were still firing but i only had the F5 on my wing. This was fine, as he doesnt need to do anything, but on RTB i was unable to contact the ABE either, i was on PRI ch1 (127.5), just got no response, so obviously couldnt do the case 3, so just used tacan, got the magnetic heading from F10 map and landed case 1, and mission completed, but just wanted to report

Hi @CH4Pz

In this mission he takes off first heads out with the other two aircraft . You follow and join them. Matrix should follow you after join.
You have to keep below a certain speed on initial legs did you do that? 
Did you refuel or go back directly?  You didn’t happen to have the track? Would be really useful. You can copy me direct. 

Thanks I will check it out.

EDIT: Just flew it through. No problems. Did you keep your speed below 300kts as brief? Did you join up with Colt and Matrix who were orbiting? Also did you join up with the Turks? If not this would explain why you could not contact the ABE at the end.

oh, so thats probably where i lost matrix, i pushed to WP2, did say form up with colt, but i couldnt see them, and on the SA page there was only 2 planes, apart, and they were way behind me, so i pushed, i did see the turks though, and when i flew towards them then they split and one formed on me, so i headed back towards WP2. Dont think i formed back with him after the intercept though, as i was cleared RTB, and the chopper was on station. This one sounds like user error, my bad man!! Might have to run it back

Yeah someone is not reading the brief

You need to follow the brief. I believe you form up at WP1. Also in the brief it’s important you keep at or below 300 knots until advised to make sure things pan out.
