Mission 5 Trigger Issues

[tacoman802]

Hey Chris,

I am having some problems with mission 5 of the Kerman Campaign.

In the ground attack section of this mission, Chief acknowledges when I destroy the SAM, command post and tanks, but nothing happens when damaging the scuds. They don't drive away after killing the first 4, as I have seen in some videos of the mission. All 8 just stay put for the entirety of the mission, and after contacting Chief to RTB, it plays the voiceline saying we failed to destroy the launchers.

Since I did hit every scud with a rocket, the problem may be that the APKWS rockets' damage has been changed, in which case it is now impossible to achieve full score in the mission.

I have flown this mission several times with similar results, and attached this debrief where I destroyed the SAM, command post, and tanks, and hit every scud. The score I got was 84 (-2 x 8 scuds).

I hope you can find a workaround for this mission, as the rest of the campaign has been outstanding.

Thank you so much for your work on these missions, I enjoyed Kerman so much that I also purchased Persian Freedom and FIWOS!

Hey, thanks for the support, appreciate it!

Wasn't aware the APKWS damage had been changed, this might well be the issue. Just to clarify, you're hitting the targets but can't kill them, presumably because the APKWS isn't packing enough punch?

That's easily fixed, I'll update the mission to make sure the launchers are more easily killed.

Yes, it says in the debrief that the scuds were hit each time, but never killed:

So yeah the APKWS must be the issue. It also took me 2 rockets to destroy the SAM and Shilkas every run, where I have seen in previous playthroughs of the mission they only needed one.
