"This Campaign is finished"

[JakeGrafton 0]

Hello all, another noob question coming up;

 

I am having an issue with attempting to win campaigns on NA and Vietnam.

 

I always preform my (mainly strike) missions and take out all of the primary targets, and usually many targets of opportunity. If I don't, I usually Re-fly the mission. Yet, after many missions, I get the "this campaign is finished" and if I click accept, it's all over. (If I'm playing NA, I'm responsible for destroying the world!)

 

I've checked that I still have planes, pilots and ordance remaining.

 

Could anyone provide my some suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong? I always hit all of my strike objectives, yet I still lose the campaign. Frustrating!

 

Thanks! - Jake

The campaign target is defined, if friendly ground forces capture the enemy base (capital) or similar. If this is achieved the campaign is over. Or if the missions limit is arrived, then the campaign is a draw. Or if enemy ground forces capture the friendly base, then the campaign is lost.

Pretty much as above -

 

 

some examples

SF2NA

The campaign structure is different to all the other games - so if you fly an A-7 and the AI F-14s dont take out the bombers and the landing fleet get taken out then that can end as stalemate

 

In SF2V  

Even though there is a DMZ there are no ground forces - so with no ground war  you essentially fly a series of missions within the time period. In the campaign you will get proper unit representation and the different skins - but your objective is to survive the tour really (pretty much as the real thing).

 

In any of the 3 campaigns historically the best you can hope for was a draw - i.e. LBII achieved clear objectives for the US - but North Vietnam still went on to invade South Vietnam and win.

 

SF2/E/I

This is more straight forward - you get a FLOT and ground forces actively engaging each other - With these you win by making sure your ground forces get to the objectives

Thanks Gepard; Besides the campaign description, is there any other way to check the definitions? In a file, perhaps?

 

 

Thanks MigBuster, for the information. I'll pay more attention to those details.

The plain "campaign finished" sometimes comes, because the carrier leaves the map, doesn't it?

haha - might have been true - when did you last play it?

I haven't touched it in ages. I just remembered, that someone complained about LB II ending after a raid or two in a recent thread.
