Need help with Revanche mission 6

Recommended Posts

Hi Chaps

 

I'm having a problem with mission 6 in the Revanche campaign - if anyone here has flown it and got a mission success, I'd be keen to hear how you achieved it.

 

I've flown the mission about 8 times now, and last night I thought I had finally cracked it, but no - I got neither a 'mission success' nor 'mission failed' - so I'm stuffed!

 

I know what I am supposed to do - attack the units that get put in by the Chinook flight, and make sure our convoy gets through.

The first problem is that it says there are four Su-25As in my flight, but in fact there are only two. Then there are lots of AA about and with the kind of weapons available to me, it means getting in close enough to ID the targets (at least 2 Strela vehicles and the odd Igla), and the wingman instantly ditches his load when we come under fire, and heads for home. So I am left to do everything myself. 5 times I eventually got shot down. Once I got a mission fail whilst flying and the convoy was miles away, so I've no idea why. Once I even ran out of fuel before the convoy had even reached the area where the enemy had landed! Just a kilometer from landing for fuel at Telek :blackeye:

 

Last night I got to the area before the Chinooks had offloaded and together with my my wingman, we downed all but one of them, who limped home damaged - so no troops landed and I even waited for the allied convoy to get to Telek before exiting, but again, no mission success.

 

I get the feeling I am going to have to hang back and wait until all the Chinooks have offloaded and left the area and then go in and kill everything with my meagre ordnance load (which wouldn't seem to be possible) on my own - maybe get reloaded at Telek once before the convoy arrives.

Hmm, no option to delete the post - so I'll just let you know that this has been resolved now - the answer was given at DCS in the files section (where the campaign file is located) by Winz, who updated the campaign for FC3.

Thanks to him for the update and the answer.

 

So the AAR for this will be up on my website soon - now we can get on with the campaign! Great.

 

Deployment is continuing, too (AARs also up ) and soon I'll be doing the valley campaign for the A-10A and Vergeev payware campaign for BS1 and after all of that, I intend flying Cold War Warrior in FC2 and then we'll see if I have enough energy left for Georgian Oil War in the A-10C and Black Shark.

 

That's going to keep me busy!

Yeah, you have to be on the listen for missions that change mid-flight. I don't recall others offhand, but I've seen it many sims over the years.

Yeah, I got that on the first flight - problem is that the troops that get put in by the Chinooks are very well guarded by air defences, too. As soon as they start shooting, your wingie drops all his hardware leaving you to carry the can. What I didn't know was that you can get a mission success without firing a shot.

 

As it turned out, I switched the load from rockets to a couple of tanks and 6 S-25s and just blasted the rockets into the general landing area from a safe distance. After the convoy had arrived on the scene and destroyed the two Strela SAM vehicles and the manpad-toting grunts, I went in again and hosed them down with the cannon.

 

The convoy only lost one vehicle, fighting through on their ownsome.

 

Was one really weird thing, though - when I told my wingman to RTB he started heading off over the mountains! Dunno where he was going (the scenic route, perhaps...) but it wasn't to either of our bases! Thankfully a "complete mission and RTB" call brought him back.

My wingy is really poor at following commands - and when he does its normally a death sentence - its safer (for him ) sometimes to just let him follow me around in trail - (almost like a towed decoy  :blind: )

I agree - that's a main reason for sending him home (though on this occasion he was useless anyway) - but what I do like using the AI wingmen for is spotting the enemy. Their "eyes" are much keener than mine!

Oh blow! Mission 7 is bugged! Can't complete it.

 

It's only a practice range mission, but it can't be done (you have to bomb a target at night, but it somehow gets blown up before you get there, so you can't do it and get a 'miss' even if your bomb is dead centre), so you can't continue with the campaign.

 

Going to have to do the rest of the campaign missions as singles.

      I´m sure you have seen it in some movie, or read it in a story. 
      Someone who has no clue about airplanes has to get in one and fly off to somewhere.
      They usually just get in and fly away, but it is really that simple?
      Since I´m new to the flightsim genre I decide to dedicate my first flight to answering that question.

DCS: F-4 represents some of the most immersive cold war fighter jet simulation available. Climb into the cockpit of this beast and announce yourself with thunder, as you experience the thrill of riding a primeval spirit.
      DCS: F-4 includes, and models, both the DMAS and non-DMAS equipped F-4E Phantom II variants using the powerful J-79 engines. It utilizes our next-gen components based simulation framework - the aircraft is simulated as a connection of thousands of individual components. From an instrument needle to control surfaces, each component influences the state of the aircraft and even comes with its own wear and tear. Enjoy in depth fluids and electric simulations, a dynamic flight model and many new “firsts” in DCS, when flying and fighting in the F-4! 
      With the DCS F-4 we are introducing JESTER 2.0 - a completely rebuilt and redesigned JESTER AI to help you as your WSO, with improved and updated intelligence, a new interface and new immersive features, like pro-actively asking you questions depending on the situation - changing his behavior based on your answers. Teamwork is key in the Phantom. With JESTER 2.0 you will be able to not only enjoy this multiseat fighter in multiplayer with a friend, but also in singleplayer on your own. "
