Gasalon Posted July 20, 2024 Posted July 20, 2024 Hi, just played M12 twice and both times flight lead just circled near the carrier and did not attack the eastern Tu-22s. Since you don't have enough AMRAAMs to shoot all 8 before they launch their Kitchens it is currently not possible to complete the mission. The first SM-2 volley from the AEGIS ships seems to miss, but I don't know if that is coded into the mission to make it fail if the bombers launch their missiles.

The lead should climb and turn to initial heading so something is not right there. I'll check it asap.

Thank you very much for those. Flight lead flies some very strange pattern (circle around the carrier at 10000 feet at 300 kts). Actually also Skull 5 flight launching before him does the same. Both have orders to fly straight climb and until now they have done that too. It seems that after the latest update the mission is broken. The carrier battle group missile defense system should also be able to take out the first wave of incoming missiles but in your recordings they failed to do that. I'll start looking for solutions.

Reported this to ED. But until the mission gets fixed it seems to be possible to beat it but it's harder than it should. Spoiler As Panther 1-1 is out of the game I tried to take out his target (the eastern group of the bombers) first. I took them down before they fired their missiles. The western group managed to shoot 3 missiles but Mother with her friends managed to destroy them. The last one only seconds before hit...
Gasalon Posted July 21, 2024 Author Posted July 21, 2024 (edited) Thanks for checking! In my 2nd try also managed to take out one group before they shot their missiles, but one of the missiles from the other group still made it through. I guess with enough luck regarding missile defense it’s possible to beat it. I have skipped it for now and finished the campaign. Thank you very much for the effort you put into it, the last mission was a blast. The campaign is definitely one of the better ones I have played so far. Looking forward to the next one Edited July 21, 2024 by Gasalon 1
