Problems with Deployment Campaign

[GimmeYourShoes]

Mission 5—Night Hunt: The illumination flares from the Su-34 don't illuminate during the attack on the house. Dialogue and instructions regarding the escaping car are unclear. 

Mission 6 - Narzan Valley - The Hinds don't prosecute their attack on the Narzan Valley compound after you destroy the AA/Manpad threat, making success almost impossible. I've included many Tacviews of this behavior.

More Problems with Deployment - Mission 10

APC and troops under the FARP make winning the mission impossible.

Even More Problems with Deployment - Mission 11  'Dusk'

Too many armored targets and/or wingmen won't attack my target correctly. When told to attack my target, your AI wingman ignores the order.

Compounding that, the planes' inability to reliably deal with the SAM threat and missing their bombing runs by kilometers leaves too many targets remaining.

12 ATGMs aren't enough when you're a one-man air force and have to take out the SAMs/AA as well. The scenario is realistically unwinnable with the current AI behavior; please see the attached tacviews

Yes it is an OLD campaign and ED stopped updating it a long time ago. Luckily the community stepped in, such as in this example:

Those seem to be the most recent batch of fixes... Perhaps you can try that?

I'm sorry, but IMHO, the included campaigns for a module, no matter how old, shouldn't be allowed to rot like this.

There are no less than four user-made campaigns that 'fix' these issues.

It is awesome that these individuals do this work, and it speaks volumes for the low-key persistent demand for these campaigns. At the same time it also exacerbates the situation as these users don't keep up with their campaigns either. The lack of recommendations or ratings in the user files doesn't help either.  Thus, ED should just fix and update the original version of the campaign for the Black Shark 2 and 3, aka the one they include with the module they sell.

I couldn't agree more
