Su-25T campaign mission ATO-C-P2.4 has incorrect goals

[Hielor]

I just failed this mission (Su-25T "Georgian Oil War" campaign mission ATO-C-P2.4.miz) with a score of 40 despite successfully passing the recon objectives, getting the recon completed messages, and taking out a couple of groups of ground vehicles.

 

Looking at the mission in the editor, the mission goals are incorrect. For the recon objectives, they use "Unit inside zone" for the player aircraft for each of the recon zones. As far as I can tell, these goals only trigger when the unit is inside the zone when the mission ends, which means you don't get any points if you've just passed through the recon area during the mission.

 

So, if you fly into one of the recon zones and end the mission right there, you'll pass with 51 points, whereas if you overfly both and RTB you'll fail with 0 points.

 

I checked another recon mission in the campaign and it didn't have the same issue. It sets a flag to true when the player passes through a zone along with printing the "recon objective completed" message, and then checks the flag state at the end of the mission. A simple enough fix.

 

The score system is already rather opaque to the player, and things like this can be really frustrating when the player runs into them.

This is now corrected internally and will be available in a later update.

Good to hear, thanks!
