Operation Brass Ring

[Don Rudi]

I will like to introduce my next Chinook mission - Operation Brass Ring.

This is a sling loading and transport mission, playing in 1984 in Germany, with the cold war turning hot.

Situation
Date: 15 September 1984
Location: Inner-german border, east of Kassel
Weather: scattered clouds, winds 6 knots
Time: 0800 Local (0600 Zulu)
Advance elements of a Warsaw Pact Motorized Brigade have breached the inner-german border east of Kassel and are now advancing on Autobahn A7 west towards Kassel.
Reacting to the growing tensions in the preceding days, Royal Air Force Germany (RAFG) and the British Army Of the Rhine (B.A.O.R.)  have forward deployed elements of 18 Squadron RAFG and a battery of BAOR L118 field artillery to Fritzlar Army Airfield.
In the morning of 15 September the alarm sounds and Chinooks are ordered to transport the L118s to an ambush position following the rapid response doctrine. The battery is set up to engage the advancing enemy at the vital Werra viaducts of the A7, crossing the Werra river - a strategic bottleneck.

Task
Callsign: Chalk 2
Aircraft: CH-47F Chinook
Base of Operations: Fritzlar Army Airfield

1:    transport the battery’s ammo (2 palettes) and gunners (3 troops)
2:    sling load your assigned L118 (Gun A-B, B gun of A battery)
Mission is time critical, stop Ivan before he crosses the Werra and marches on Kassel.

You are #2 in a three-ship of Chinooks. Always listen to the instructions given by your flight lead. Your copilot and crewchief also will have relevant informations.

Features:
+ around 100 quality voice overs
+ cargo ops
+ sling loading
+ manual
+ custom ATC (do NOT use ingame ATC)
+ custom kneeboard

Enjoy!

03.10.25     V1.0.1       slowed down enemy convoy, added unload cargo/troops voice over

Known issues:
AI flies a little weird at the beginning - just ignore them, they will do their job when it counts.
AI flies to fast with sling loads. This is reported as a bug, again just ignore them and concentrate on your assigned cargo.

One game play hint - if you lose your gun, don't worry, just continue the mission. Your cargo (ammo) and troops (gun crews) are still needed!
