Large Su25T Campaign "Foothills"

[ZoomBoy27]

I have finished a larger campaign for the Su25T

 

A longer campaign with a medium difficulty - more night missions

Russian forces are trying to push back Extremist Nationalist forces back onto the Kerch Strait starting in the foothills north of Novorossijsk.

Your air unit has the job of breaking resistance points and destroying any enemy forces.

 

A basic style of mission with no labels.

 

I've uploaded them to Lockonfiles - Please make a donation - I have - Thanks Thomas

Let me know if there are any problems. It was a big one with lots of de-bugging and reviewing. Extremophiles will find it a bit mild but for each mission, I usually tried to throw in a curve or two.

 

Enjoy!!

Why not sort them into the different planes and make up surprise bags of missions hehe

Thank you very much for your work, unfortunately there are not many user created campaigns for LOMAC (compared to say Il2). Don't worry about some mildness - I prefer missions with realistic difficulty, where I can survive as I play DiD style. I just wonder how people can like difficult missions where you have to die 3 times first to figure out the only "right" approach for the mission. With Su-25/T I prefer to apply realworld tactics, the basic rules are if there are fighters - bug out, if painted by medium/long range SAM - bug out (unless you are on SEAD), try to take out ground targets from safe distance out of their engagement zone.

I enjoyed the first misision of your campaign with Ricardos new HD cockpit MOD.

 

Very nice mission. Flying is quite challanging inthis windy conditions! Hopefully the weather is getting better, the nex days *g*

Thanks for the campaign Zoomboy.

 

I have a problem progressing from the first mission to the next. I usually only have time to fly for a short time each day and will complete a mission then shut down. When I start up the next time I have to start over again with the first mission. I don't have that problem with other campaigns.

 

It's in the right folder of the game and I do hit the save button at the end of the mission. Any ideas?

 

BTW - The first mission is great, looking forward to the next, hopefully.

Open up the Campaign in the Mission Editor. Classify [Ctrl-Shift-C], assign a password via onscreen prompts and thereafter De-Classify [Ctrl-Shift-D] with your newly-assigned Password.

 

All Campaign Missions will be listed. You will now be able to Fly Missions in whatever order you desire.

Besides de-classifying the mission, you can also try clicking on the next mission(Mission #2) on the Mission List and then saving. That will bring up the Mission #2 description.

That sometimes works. I'll look at that tonight when I get home.

I found some mistakes in campaign Foothills:

 

- In many missions, ground target is only wasteland, stupid wingmen (AI) always focus on the non-target zone & fireeee !

Player could not determine numbers of ground target

- Russian Igla always shoot down Russian strike squad Su-25T, so i must kill him first (mission #4)

- Enemy medium range mobile air defences (Kub, Buk M1) are worthless because they're launcher trucks only, no acquisition/ tracking radar for searching airborne targets. Of course, they can't lock & shoot down targets

 

/ Hope you fix these problems, ZoomBoy27 :D

Haven't had much trouble with them. What sort of command do you give to the wingmen?

My standard is Complete Mission - \(comms menu) F1 F7 and then Rejoin. I keep a very tight control on them and do most of the work myself.

I did see it happen in one mission but thought I had compensated.

Was it on all missions?

The number of targets are usually found by visuals - (usually through the Shkval)

My preference is to have the targeting diamond in the correct area and the Player to be using his skills to hunt them down. Directly having target diamonds on moving Tanks seems cheap.

 

- Russian Igla always shoot down Russian strike squad Su-25T, so i must kill him first (mission #4)

I will review in Tacview 0.94 - I'll see if there are hidden ones or if it's just a bug. I can just change it to a Stationary object or have a nearby tank kill them within seconds.

Most are there to give the fiction of Intel to the briefing(Forward Observers) and can be dropped or changed.

[EDIT] Is this mission called "Over the Mountain"? I've just loaded it and see no Igla's at all. If you use TacView, you might be able to see what happened.

 

- Enemy medium range mobile air defences (Kub, Buk M1) are worthless because they're launcher trucks only, no acquisition/ tracking radar for searching airborne targets. Of course, they can't lock & shoot down targets

Most of the medium range mobile air defences are off the main mission track. Otherwise I'd put in a anti-SAM weapon-load. They give a general idea where the enemy is in the theatre.

 

Thanks for your input.
