How do you control the ULB [OA]

[STALKERGB]

Is there any way to select a different hellfire launch profile? If I stay low in the mission, missiles always slam into the mountainside, if I pop up the AA kills me.

Hellfires always fly straight ahead, shouldn't you be able to set them up so they fly up and strike from above?

I had this problem, I ended up moving my Apache about 4km away from the target and raising the altitude so it (the Hellfire) would go over the mountain, it seemed to be far enough away from the AA to not get attacked.

This mission is giving me absolute hell.

(but at least I played the boot camp and didn't try to figure out a system with OJT)

I'm having a huge issue with rearming the hellfires. You do the interrput mission to take down the convoy, then by the time you get back to shooting cans on fences, you're out of hellfires (or practically anyway).

Is there a trick to rearming the helos? I can get them to refuel and I can repair them. They won't reload hellfires.

I guess i'm going to have to start the mission over as my next step to see if that will fix it. The auto save point isn't that far into the mission, so it won't be a big loss.

If you expend all of your hellfires there's a possibility they will not be rearmed. This is probably related to the issue with replacing expended magazines (they don't get replaced) when rearming vehicles.

For now the best you can probably do is never use your last hellfire.

I rearm from 0 Hellfires reliably. The ammo truck is a little far away and it helps to hop out and back in, maybe try manual fire (so you, the pilot "owns" the weapon getting replenished).

Thanks Tried that too and it works. It would have been nice to have high-launching hellfires... maybe in a patch

Whups, should probably spoiler that...

I could only reload once. Major mission failure on my account for not using other options. Second run I only used hellfire on the BMP (in the convoy), rest got to taste the cannon or FFARs. Long range Shilkas got Hellfires, rest was done with cannon. No need to refill, and mission success.

Yeah, I got it done last night doing pretty much the same thing.

All my pounding is done on the ground, not in the air. I can fly the hell out of a helo for troop transport, I just never shoot much though I love flying the AH64 and Cobras.

I like to set the 'increase thrust' button to one of the two extra buttons on my mouse but it seems the ULB only gains altitude if it's set to 'Q' which is a bit annoying since I use Q & E for rudder controls. Is there any way to adjust this?

[lawndartleo]

The keys don't work for me. Can plant waypoints and desginate targets just fine but the littlebird just keeps flying at the same alt and always in the direction of the last waypoint move.
