co08 Airpower missionpack

[theOden]

co08 Airpower is a series of small/fast conflict missions where destroying a set of enemy assets leads to victory.

 

 

Currently 3 missions are available:

• Russia versus Ukraine
  
• Russia versus Georgia/Israel/Turkey
  
• Russia versus NATO
  

Mission is dual coop by design allowing for 8 players to fight AI opposition, 16 players to go team versus team or a mix there of. Singleplayer is also possible.

 

Enemy assets are located at the three steerpoints so pilots are not supposed to follow this route but rather select one steerpoint and treat that as targetarea (this does NOT apply to CAP flights).

 

Each faction has 4 strike flights, two escort flights and two CAP flights.

Player choosing to fly CAP will disable the 2-ship AI CAP.

Player choosing to fly Escort will disable the 2-ship AI Sweep.

AI Strike flights will activate on random basis.

Multiplayer score system seems to not trigger at all times so occasionally one has to manually decide if a side reached victory.

I really like the missions.

 

Different aircraft on each side, is a WELCOME change from the standard maps that are A10 & F15 vs A10 & F15...

 

I like in your mission one side is Su-27 & Su-25, and the other side is A-10 & F-15.

 

The other good thing is the points system, better than just 2 points here and there to build up to victory, there are actual good objectives with the top point earners being behind enemy lines under the fighter's noses.

 

I have had some performance issues though, not sure if it's related to the number of AI units yet though still doing some testing.

 

Compared to other missions, have you noticed yours being more intensive?

 

Would you mind if I edit them to make less units per side?

Nice to hear you like the setup.

 

Feel free to edit the missions and do whatever you feel will enhance the missions/experience/performance, just rename them so we don't run the same mission names :) (like co08 Airpower Taipan).

 

 

Also, I noticed in another thread here you lomacers don't really have the same mission sharing culture we have in the BIS ArmA2 community (where I come from) so just for the record, for everyone, feel free to host any edit/improvement etc. be it one of the missions or the whole pack as a download on a site or as a running server mission under a slightly edited name (or completely new name too haha).

 

There's been a few updates since my first post so anyone that D/L it and just maybe enjoyed it :P should click the link again - never bothered to post about the update since I realized this is not how you guys run things over here. Only minor edits though such as adjusted random levels, less "huge" jpg picture (all in one) replacing both png briefing pictures etc.

Yeah I've been an ARMA nut ever since OFP.

 

Usually people are ok with editing missions as long as you ask them first.

 

Thanks I'll download this one and make a mini version.

 

There are ALOT of air units for my puny 3ghz pentium4 server to handle :)

Attached is the mini version.

 

Only 6 per side, plus reduced number of AI air units.
