M03 Strike Go Ahead criteria?

[Pyrocumulous]

I just flew mission 3, successfully destroyed the popup SA6 and SA8, and the three fixed SAMs (SA2x2 and SA3) as verified in the mission summary and Tacview, but the strike got turned around due to active SAMs still in the cooridor, and my score was 90. Looking at the Scoring Guide, I believe that means I got all points except the Strike Go Ahead.... so what am I missing? Is there a 6th SAM that I didn't locate?

It will just be making sure no SAM is active, there is a pop up SA-6 plus the two SA-2s and the SA-3 as you mentioned (SA-8 won't affect things).  Would be hard to figure out what happened without more information, but sounds like for whatever reason a SAM has not been triggered as as inactive.  There aren't any other surprises in the mission other than the SA-6.

thanks, I'll give it another run when I get a chance.

Worked perfectly that time
