Description
South China Sea, Vietnam, 1965.

On 13 February, 1965 a new air campaign was approved and given the name Rolling Thunder.
At first, planned to be an eight-week air campaign, the operation sustained until 1968.
The first mission of the new operation was launched on 2 March, 1965 against an ammunition storage area near Xom Bang. Join Task Force 77, cruising off the North Vietnamese coast at Yankee Station, await target orders.


Features
  • 11 air combat missions
  • High attention to ambience and immersion

Known issues
  • Not compatible with mod "SOG AI", it will break the game.
  • Deformer plugin is needed, it was used to edit terrain for an airstrip
  • Cannot use bomb sight for high altitude heavy bomber, its not visible due to it´s implementation with dive bombing in mind.

@Wolfowitz Sorry for the late response again. Thanks it now works. Much love for your time.

After you have landed, just approach the guy that looks like a commander standing by the door to the control bridge. That will trigger the next mission.
The RTB task is only for guidance, no need to make it get completed. After you got the next mission, the RTB task is deleted.

"Rolling Thunder" is one of my first attempts to do a scenario, so unfortunetely there are probably plenty of bugs like this.
I will playtest it tonight to see whats going on.

@Wolfowitz sorry for the late answear. Yes I did but it only rearmed the jet and the task RTB was not accomplished and my jet was still stuck. Even with the "skip" landing and getting close to him with the jet didn't do anything
Wolfowitz  [author] 19 May @ 4:51am 
@Nico45 Did you try to walk closely to the "boss" guy, standing by the door?
Nico45 17 May @ 5:41pm 
Hello, I was playing your scenario idk if you're still active but I'm stuck at the 1st RTB. I managed to sucessfully land on the aircrafter carrier after 20 attempts (I suck at CV laning) but it got stuck on the landing wires, I couldn't move it. So I reloaded a save and I skipped it. however when I did that, I rearmed the plane and nothing happend. I couldn't pass the RTB task. I hope it's not a bug and that you can answear. thanks in advance for any answear :) .

Sorry, must have screwed the previous fix up. It should now work. In case the gun boat get stuck, it will blowup anyway after a while.
Also, I discovered mission 5 (mining the river) is not compatible with S.O.G AI, when spawning as viet civ, the other civilians kill you, if S.O.G AI is enabled.

I also recommended trying out https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3211872241
(SACTAC Vietnam) if you like vietnam air combat. It´s much better than this one.

Hi, i have the same bug at mining river, 2 samoa boats went without trouble, and the gun boat i saw it at the curve, it hit the rock and reversed and did nothing after that
Wolfowitz  [author] 7 Mar, 2024 @ 5:33pm 
An issue with the 5th mission is now fixed: The NVA boat is now following waypoints, allowing mission progress
Wolfowitz  [author] 5 Aug, 2023 @ 4:56pm 
"Lassi" I have updated the mission (5th mission, minig the river). Having dropped the bombs should now result in mission success, also after the temporary transition to village VC close to the river.
