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
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.
