I don´t know if anyone saw that before, or if i´m the last to find out. Remember the ever useless "request help" command to Red Crown? Anytime you used it, there were no assets in your area nor anything. I just noticedthat it has been fixed in some way, when out of frustration, i just tried it again. An A-6 two plane flight into Iraq in the Yom Kippur campaign. Got jumped by MiG-21s in our way in, sent the request and "we are sending elp" or kind of. All of a sudden, 8 Shahaks spawned a few miles behind. Couldn´t save my wingman, but took out the MiGs. Again, i flew an Iron Hand single mission in Vietnam, had the same trouble, did the same, and WOSH! 8 NF-5As appeared (merged install).
Was it something out of a patch or anything? i never heard of it being fixed, if it was, i missed it, running on Nov 11 patch
