reported Sharyat strike

[Ostach]

I've completed the Sharyat strike mission with no problem. (Minus 20 points for hitting already destroyed target with a harm)

Is it intentional and realistic that I didn't see any Redfor a/c on data link? Awacs gave a lot of bra and bullseye reports, but nothing on the DL though.

Datalink is not very dependable. Everything is set up as it should be in Mission Editor, but in the pit you don't always see what you'd think you should - not sure why. So probably it is not realistic, but it is also rather more on the DCS side of things..

I also got minus 20 on this one for missing one of the SA6 radars, however I only ever saw two active launchers on both the TPOD and HAD screen.

Reviewing the TACVIEW I see all three sets of launchers, but only two of them launch anything, the Northern most and Southern Most, the Middle one remains inactive. Likewise I only see two SA6 Radars, again at the northern and southern sites. There seems to be one missing at the middle site? (Images attached)

As specified in the Fighter-to-Fighter I engaged the Southern site and Flash launched on the northern site. My HARM hit the Radar at the southern site, however the northern site goes inactive while Flash's harm is still airborne and it re-directs at the southern site. Wasn't a problem ultimately but seemed strange. 

I did get engaged during the "uneventful" exfil by an SA11 after following the more northerly 342 heading recommended by Overlord(?). I bonked the snow drift radar with my 2nd harm (CHAOS still calls out "MAGNUM SA6"). Found this fairly humerous.

Guys, there was a bug in this mission where one of the SA-16s did not activate so it was not possible to get full score. Fixed for next update & apologies for trouble.

Hello, I just did this mission and everything was fine. I was cleared to RTB, everything was ok, passed the waypoint 6, no problem with russians so I tryed to refuel and I did it BUT when I finished refueling all the radio went crazy like if I just started the mission. Overload asked me if I was on station at backyard. Weasel 21 just said he was on station on windmill and my 22, Flash, was just following the tanker. I couldn't talk to anyone at the base...I just landed but of course I get just 50 point.
I think that air refueling broke the mission in some way becouse when i disconneted I couldn't press "finish air refueling".

I also found that all the bullseye are wrong (on the ICP I selected bull from the list) and on my mfd all works but the calls are with wrong data (not just in this mission but also in mission 8).

This mission appears to be having issues with:
1) scoring: It doesn't seem to be possible to score 100 regardless of whether you just destroy the southern two SA-6s, get all three, or even go grab a couple extra snow drifts as well. 60 points is what I get every time, no matter what. It doesn't seem to matter if you jump the gun and shoot the HARMs as soon they come online or wait to complete the briefing. 

2) Post-mission Briefings: Out of 10 completions, I only once got a briefing, so not sure what scoring deductions are occurring.

3) lost communication: Same experience as @AlessandroFuBu except without AAR, I'd lose all prompts somewhere around WP6, and get nothing all the way home including approach, tower, ground, and no Mission Complete upon arrival at the shelter. Score of 50 both times that this occurred.

Love the campaign, thanks for your work! Really like the post-mission briefings when they work.

Thanks, AAR seems to be broken again on ED side but we'll check it - as we will check the bullseye.

Thanks! 1 and 2 may be connected, if one of the triggers don't fire then the debriefings won't work. We will have a look at what may be going on there.
As for 3.. did you follow the flight plan correctly? The issues are during the RTB, correct?

#3 only happened twice, so I'm not sure, but seems reasonable to assume that I missed a trigger near WP6 on RTB. Those might have been the times I was experimenting with taking out the SA11 and SA2 with an extra pair of HARMs and then boogying west to WP6 to skirt their engagement zone. I definitely didn't get any of the fence out or approach / tower queues when #3 occurred.
