2025 - Convoy still stationary and the refuelling/rearm doesn't work

Thanks for the feedback. I'll try to update the mission within the game in the next few days to see if that helps.

it's refusing to download for someone, i've subscribed like 50 times, dunno what to do :<

GoodMission for practic

I don't know why but sometimes the script gets messed up. When I get around to it I'll change the convoy's position entirely. Thanks for the comment

I enjoyed the mission thank you!
However, to convoy get stuck in the first city, I don't know if that's normal.

Good feedback, thank you :D It's sad that the updates that followed this mission broke some scripts and I'm sorry for that. I'll get around to fixing it at some point ;)

It's not so bad, I have fun, it's a good mission for novice pilots. Two errors that I noticed is that to eliminate the enemy planes, you just have to attract them to the base and your companions will take care of them, the other error is that the comboy works badly

felt a bit frustrated trying to dogfight the enemy neophrons in a slow moving wipeout. I'm by no means experienced in dogfighting with the wipeout but that's isn't the reason for the plane in the first place. would be a nice inclusion if you could add a fighter jet along side the wipeout and increase the amount of enemy CAP to keep the balance.

Really nice Scenario.
Pros:
Doesn't feel like a movie it feels like being in an actual multiplayer game.
Cons:
Convoy is glitched out; half the convoy is stationary and the other half is randomly distributed across the convoy road

Lol, I think you might be going the wrong way, mate. xD Cheers

you take off on a shit runway that destorys my aircraft and i cant do anything about that 0/10 fucking shit

It is harder to find the convoy than it is to actually kill it lol.

really nice mission to improve your air to ground combat

*BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT*

Thank you for your words. I believe soon this mission will see its small bugs fixed and will be a bit more challenging ;)

Being quite new at Jet piloting, it took me 20min to complete this enjoyable scenario after a few attempts. I feel it really aided me in learning about the combat flight techniques and weapons required to fly this aircraft and I will be back to fly this one again.

I would like the scenario to be much longer, or have mutliple parts. I understand that could be time comsuming overall though.

I didn't mind Jet #2 was a ground target, I just took it out as it was. I would have preferred both jets, perhaps three in the air above the convoy as that would have produced a tactical dogfight situation.

Overall a very playable upload.

No worries - You have a great foundation for a mission - I've edited my downloaded copy to fix the issues (the southern plan was spawned in the woods, and I've fixed the triggers for destroying the convoy). Really great fun, and I hope we see your return with JETS.

Thank you for the great feedback :) I'm unable to address these issues at the moment (it might take a while to get back in action) but as soon as I can, I will certainly fix these issues. I hope after Jets DLC comes out, the mission is at least still playable xD

I think this mission will be even more relevant in the coming months, with the new JETS DLC.

I really enjoy this mission - nothing overly complex - just flying dogfighting and bombing.

I noticed two issues though:

1. The southern T-199 is on the ground. Not sure if there is an issue with its init, but whenever I play, its normally in a crashed state near the southern airfield

2. Win trigger conditions seem a bit odd; I destroyed everything but the mission wasn't cue'ing a win until completey bombed a vehicle. The AI had abandoned it, but it wasn't considered destroyed (even though it was flipped on its side). Maybe look at the conditions - if a vehicle is damaged then it is unable to complete the convoy - which is still the intent.

Thank you

good job!!

The mission file may need an update then, but again, my desktop is unavailable at the moment :( Apolagies for that. Either way, thanks for the comments, love to know about your experiences :)

I think in my case I found the problem: the SPG (if I activate the markings for enemys / friendlys (these red / green circles)) is still shown as an enemy target WITH THE WHOLE TURRET BLOWN OFF . . . i made some screenshots but I think thats the reason why it does not finish for me .... :-( might have to restart it ... but not tonight ... ;-)

also i forgot: i also destroyed a Tigris AA

but i still managed to jump out and survive due to my parachut. Now i had a Pilot somewhre in the middle of nowhere and one back at the Base. So I looted the driver of the truck I just "bombed" (i even managed to miss it, so only the driver was dead and all wheels were destroyed) and headed of to a nearby chapel to hde he guy. Then I switched to the other (and last other) pilot and jumped into the attak helo, picked the bailed out pilot up ... and REKT the convoy (or all that remained) with the help of the other guy as my gunner. And now I am howering above the airfield waiting for the last enemy vehicle to arrive ... SOOOO

I think the mission is great, especially that I did not have to use the jets ... only that he SPG ate like ten ATGM´s .... that sucked a bit ... but who cares ... thans for the mission, keep up the good work

had to pu it in two comments, was to long, and please dont mind my english, its not my firts language and I am writing this in the middle of the night ;-)

I just pused the Mission becasue of the same problem others were describing ... I have destroyed at least 3 Transport Trucks, 2 Jets (one of which was stuck in a Tree, the other one made it quite easy by letting me swap in on his tail from above a marid APC, an Ifrit and a Sochor SPG ... so yea ... NOW i got a story to tell: After a couple of unsucessfull Gunruns (i am quite a bda pilot) i finally blew up the first truck ... i then proceeded with Bombs and missiles against the other enemys .... and got shot down while trying to bugger of ater a missile strike ... ... ... ok, i thought, switched to the next pilot, got me a GPS from one of the helicopters and jumped into the second jet. Soon I was where it all started bombing a stuck truck ... and (as the noob I am) flying to low and hitting my Plane with it ....

Great feedback, thank you. The jet getting stuck in the trees is a known issue I'm yet to figure out how to fix. Limiting their speeds is a great idea although I think it may be really easy to get them. The convoy shouldn't have stoped in the town and I believe that kind of problem is an issue with ArmA 3 A.I. in itself. They may have just tried to hide from you since you destroyed the vehicles that could put up a fight :D And for that reason, the mission didn't end. There must have been a transport vehicle somewhere and I'm certain of this because it happened to me lots of times and as soon as I found the missing vehicle, the mission ended (other people share the same experience). I will surely increase the amount of AA in the convoys and remove the objective markers on my next jet missions and maybe put some more flying targets (as soon as real life lets me xD). Again, thanks for the feedback :)

Great scenario, altrough too easy. One jet got me p good with an AA but that wasnt that big of a deal and the other was stuck in some trees so that didnt go very well for him.
The entire convoy got stuck in the city and I destroyed like half of it in my first run, they didnt even bother shooting at me. I was P sure I destroyed the convoy but for some reason the mission didnt complete. Also the enemy jets can reach Mach speeds so yeah, it is normal they can go up to 700KM/h. I suggest limiting their speeds because its p hard to take one down with an inferior wipeout when they fly at 700Kmph.
It was a p short and easy mission but that doesnt mean it wasnt fun. Unfortunely there are allot of bugs like the convoy and the plane getting stuck, aswell as the mission not ending but overal you did a decent job.

Also the objective markers are on the jets themselves wich makes it even easier, I suggest removing them for a bigger challange. The convoy also needs more AA imo.

Like I said, likely not the fault of your mission. I've had it happen with other missions as well. :)

Thank you. That's very odd. I believe you are the first one to describe such issue. It's possible for it to have bugged out :/ I have to have a look at it.

Nice mission! Unfortunately, I was unable to complete as the convoy task disappeared and would not update, but that's probably the fault of Arma 3 and not your mission.

Hmm, I'd say try to figure out his route. That could help get him

no, i don have any. I just play "Vanilla"

Do you have any mods installed?

Yea like i tried it 4 to 5 times and it allways got up to 700km/h.

No, I don't think so :/ All the times I've tested this, that never happened to me. Is it consistent?

IS it normal that the enemy jet gets 700km/h?

Thank you

I like it its good

Alright, update released :) I hope that does the trick. I tried to use an old script but it seems it doesn't work anymore so I had to do it with the NATO support trucks. Land on the airfield, taxi your jet near those trucks and you're done. Try not to hit them with the wings xD Also, resupply point marked on map. Once again, thanks for the feedback :)

Good feedback. Thanks!

OK!
Two AA for 2 planes is not too much if they are evaded, misses or flared out! I spent most of my Gatlin ammo just getting 1 plane down. And still got another plane and rest of the convoy and airdefences to take out. But nice work!

I didn't expect you'd need to refuel :P Good point though. I'll add refueling and rearming as soon as I can. Thank you.

Where do I go to refuel /rearm the plane?

Update released :)

ok thank you

Alright, I'll release the patch tomorrow. I really can't do it today. It'll be up to 2 people.

that would be fun to do
