Had a lot of fun with this, despite some of the issues that other posts have mentioned (blackfoot in first chapter of mission is bugged and won't destroy tanks, can't wait in first obj area). As this was created with a 7-year old version of Arma as of this writing, some of the AI / win condition issues are expected.

It seems at some update this mission has become severely bugged. The Blackfoot won't destroy the tanks, and even if you steal AT weapons from your friendlies at the base and destroy the tanks on foot (or score multiple lucky hits with DAR's), the convoy mission cannot be completed: destroying the convoy does not complete the task. Cannot recommend. A shame really, since I can't seem to find more co-ops involving Pawnee CAS :(

The Blackfoots seem unable to destroy the tanks.I've waited 15 min and it is still circling around them.

Nice little helo mission.

My only issue is that sometimes it takes a long time for the victory conditions to fire (ex, had to search the hills for a lone truck from the convoy that went off-roading). But that's as much to do with ArmA's wonkiness as anything. Maybe the victory conditions could be changed to something like 3 out of 5 trucks destoyed? 70% of squad members killed? I don't know.

At any rate, the mission length is just about perfect for this type of scenario and I enjoyed it. Good work! :)

Very good mission. Had a couple times where a random accident took out the Blackfoot before takeoff (or even the entire pair of hangars), but a good restart should address it. Good difficulty, long enough for a mission, and even capable of landing at base to refit and refuel.
duster 21 Aug, 2017 @ 7:28am 
yes, its playable, you have to wait a min to let the blackfoot take out aa
Fynnister VonPeedlePoup 12 Aug, 2017 @ 4:44am 
Is this doable/enjoyable?
Saccharin 15 Apr, 2017 @ 8:35am 
Mission isn't impossible. You need to wait for the attack helicopters to take out the tanks and AA like the briefing tells you. The AA will take you out if you are too high. Fly contour which is what the your heli is best at anyway and use the terrain for cover until you are told to go in.
Petrvs 23 Mar, 2017 @ 3:50pm 
used to be a pretty good mission. now it's borked. can't do anything against the AA. shame.
Alfa229 18 Dec, 2016 @ 8:08am 
I can't even get close to the target because of AA's.
Mission is impossible

Tutoh has the same problem i have...(2)

Pre-update this mission was a lot of fun. Sadly after the update in Feb, the Blackfoots get destroyed right out of the gate, and you immediately get swarmed with AA. GG.
Plank 15 May, 2016 @ 2:24am 
The Blackfoots never end up destorying the tanks, so you can't end up progessing. If it actually worked, it looks like it would be pretty cool.

Tutoh has the same problem i have...
roguepossum 23 Feb, 2016 @ 5:25pm 
is this broken? you take off, 1 helo goes down, go to crash site, take off got to hold at checkpoint and then you go down every time
notheotherben  [author] 20 Feb, 2016 @ 1:39am 
Hmm, that's definitely not good - I'll take a look when I get a chance and see what I can do to address that...
Tutoh 20 Feb, 2016 @ 12:46am 
The February 19 update seems to have made the AH-99s absolutely useless. One crashes every single time now, be it from knocking into the other on route or being immediately shot down by the Tigris. The other (now indestructable one) takes a very long time to acquire targets whie sitting stationary in the sky. This means you might as well take on the T-100s in your flimsy Pawnee. The trouble is you can only repair your Pawnee once at base, it seems, even though you can refuel and rearm as much as you like.

@Hawks Thx
CYR1X-00 18 Nov, 2015 @ 6:35am 
Not bad at all. @Jackal Syndrome the song is Seven Nation Army by The White Stripes
jackal 13 Nov, 2015 @ 12:05pm 
Whats the song???
Axal 10 Nov, 2015 @ 1:58pm 
Really nice mission. Fine also for newbie-pilot like me (using ressuply and repair at the base:steamhappy:)
DewMountain 21 Sep, 2015 @ 7:15am 
still my favourite mission
Wookiejedi 1 Aug, 2015 @ 6:35pm 
Great mission-would love to see more.Thanks!
Hymez 21 May, 2015 @ 10:44pm 
Excellent mission. A good challenge, music makes you feel badass, and the achievements add re-playability. Love it :D
Valhalian 9 May, 2015 @ 7:26am 
Great mission! Dont really have any recommendations...
Shugah Bear =VX9= 28 Feb, 2015 @ 8:36pm 
Hell of a good time! An excellent chopper mission. Keep up the good work!
Ramuf77 20 Feb, 2015 @ 10:04am 
Excellent mission recommended

During the CAS task, through the radio it's stated that enemies are approaching the town from the South and West, but in the tasks list it says South and East. It's easy to see where they're coming from by flying over, but some people might want accurate intel to choose a better approach
ATF_Eyeball 27 Jan, 2015 @ 4:07am 
Nice!
Ordo 15 Jan, 2015 @ 9:02am 
The robot voice acting.. That's a bit nono. Next time just have nothing.

Where's the objective for the convoy? I missed the dialogue, All I saw as a convoy heading east or something. Gonna have to rate this down.
Jon Depp 22 Dec, 2014 @ 11:33am 
You can really hear the excitement in the voice acting
Tigris the FUN-gineer 19 Dec, 2014 @ 1:25am 
I hope you don't mind, but I used your mission for a few seconds of footage for a Youtube vid here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpYperFvapU
Tigris the FUN-gineer 28 Oct, 2014 @ 11:54pm 
The goddamn Blackfeet blow up for no reason all the time on the runway or on approach, but hey, bad pilots. Beat it without exceeding 10m. Holy crap it sounds good with the new heli sounds.
Drahkken 11 Oct, 2014 @ 1:00am 
Excellent mission. Cinematic and entertaining. Wish the dumb Blackfeet would stop running into power-lines, but that's hardly your fault. :)
Highly recommended!
Smug Twingo 29 Sep, 2014 @ 2:15pm 
Crashed my helicopter coming over the ridge, stole a tank and finished the mission anyway
10/10
Mr. T 29 Sep, 2014 @ 8:46am 
Really nice mission, good helicoptertraining, it just took some time for me to find the repairstation, because i didnt read what you wrote here-.- But all in all its really worth playing if you enjoy Pawnee-Gameplay and some M134-spamming ;)
Obscuritas 27 Sep, 2014 @ 11:40am 
Really cool mission, but what is the name of the soundtrack at the beginning?
Tutoh 24 Sep, 2014 @ 9:52pm 
Awesome. Loved the achievements!
YME 10 Sep, 2014 @ 11:35pm 
Love this mission, played it on veteran at Ai at expert wow how amazing, and its pretty good scenario to learn how to turn and slow down for perfect shots
Kryo 19 Aug, 2014 @ 6:48pm 
Loved it. Would love to see more co-op heli missions in the future.
Nero 5 Aug, 2014 @ 4:21pm 
Cool mission too short though, thumbs up for sure
Juice Mouse 3 Aug, 2014 @ 1:33pm 
Fun and varied. Not insanely difficult. Realistic mission setting for the littlebird. A+
AM|Angry_AGAIN 29 Jul, 2014 @ 12:34pm 
Best chopper cas ever
Mamono 29 Jul, 2014 @ 4:45am 
Realz fun to Play. I hope there is a sequal with a Blackfoot and Ghost Hawk! 5\5
Madog 27 Jul, 2014 @ 8:52am 
Great job, I pity that there is no button to make music play all the time. Mission was dinamic and fun.
BobbyDylan 27 Jul, 2014 @ 6:39am 
Really really enjoyed this one! Not enought Heli missions for my liking, but this one was great! Thank you for it.
Goof 21 Jul, 2014 @ 9:33pm 
Well made scenario, the soundtrack was cool at first, but it could use more than 1 song. Heh :3
Tengu 21 Jul, 2014 @ 8:35am 
great!
