Mission 5

[Viking 1-1]

Hey,

 

I spotted some minor problems in M5 today:

Some voice lines were off:

- We get the picture for the mission at the holding, where he tells us that Hate 1-3 is out, and at the same time Hate 1-3 first reports that he is out

- Jester calls good hits on the target on the way back, well after dropping the bombs

 

Some AI issues:

- My flight never rolls in to drop the bombs. I´m supposed to be in a 10sec trail, but they just turn to the next WP, without attacking the target

- On the way back, we nearly collide with the F5s as we cross their way on the initial to the runway

Got the same issue when I played this a couple of minutes ago. The flight goes on towards their next waypoint, circle around, then back again, then there's the "Miller Time" call. I decided that I'm not going home with my bombs, so I attacked the target (initially, the wrong one, but I did not drop, went back up, got hit by either MANPAD or AAA, found the correct target, and hit it dead center.
I had to refuel due to being in burner a lot, chasing my flight lead (unlimited fuel must be nice when you're AI), made it back, and got N for survival, Y for hitting the target, N for TOT, Y for procedures, and Y for fuel management.

I also had a close encounter with an AI flight, except for me, no F5s near the initial, but a cargo plane somewhere around PLAZA (I think) that was coming head-on, and passed about 50 ft over our heads.

I did save a track file, but it's 87 MB, no clue where to send it, because it's too large to post here. @[ED]Ben If you need the track, please let me know where to send it to/ upload it.

ED completely messed up the dive bombing task a few months ago. Please send a track here for @[ED]Ben to see. For the next  patch I'll change the AI to level bombing to circumvent it.

 

Jester says good hits when the target is hit - the AI probably destroyed it then.  The voice lines may collide sometimes, it's all dynamic, depending on where each AI flight is. Maybe something changed and the other AI flights took longer to get to the AO...I'll try to implement some safeguards, but it's next to impossible to cover for every possibility.

PM sent.

Regarding the targets, I destroyed my target at least, Jester did say "good hits" so at least I did my part.
