Memory: Operation Arrowhead (CAS)

[DnA]

I have now tried to complete this task 20 times or so, but allways failing.
This CAS task, makes me want to stop playing TOH! Haven't played the game for 2 weeks since i got stuck at this...

You do not have to 'win' the CAS; you can just continue the scenario and finish it. AI CSAR will take over for you

If you want to skip the scenario anyway, use LShift + NumMin + ENDMISSION, or revert to Heliport and answer your brother not to listen to his memory.

In 1.03, Arrowhead is fixed and fantastic. A real joy to play.

I can't remember if this was the case in 1.02, but the "ambient" sounds that occur when commanding your squad, such as "Engage at will," "All...Danger," "All...Go prone!" do not play when such commands are given. ???

After the CAS task was completed, I landed next to the crash site and two of the 3 crew boarded my chopper. But the third was injured, lying prone, and wouldn't move. I took off again, and landed again a little closer, got out, and went up to him and nudged him. He thankfully then crawled over to my chopper and got in. Whew. But I almost had to revert to an autosave.

And by the way, it is a blast to play on Expert with no autohover, and with kb/mouse!!!

I know this is an old topics but my feeling is that there has been something wrong with this mission, maybe since a recent update.

I am not an expert into military stuff, but an helicopter shot down in 2 or 3 shots from some guy at 800 m firing from a car driving off-road at full speed does not sound very realistic at all. What makes it even more annoying is that, conversely, your own gunners are perfectly useless. In 12 attempts, they have never hit any of the two car, even once. In 12 attempts, these bloody cars have always shot me down.

The only way to destroy them seems to be to go straight to them firing rockets, but this is pure suicide. Even if you destroy both of them, you will be shot as well and die.

What's wrong with me? What's wrong with the mission? I am suspecting opponents' skills have been somehow updated recently, making the mission not doable anymore.

Dont try it. In this mission You must be shot down. Its a part of scenario. After this do safe autorotation and keep orders.

I have a similar problem with the mission, every time i want to play the mission i can't get further than the formation flying.
Cause every time just before the other helicopter is shot down (yeah i reached that point once, but after the autosave it went wrong) i make a normal turn to the right/left and my rotorblades just stop and i can't get them working again before i crash.
I hope anyone knows a solution to this problem.
