[SP] Close Air Support (A Random AH-6 Assault Mission)

**sxp2high** · Nov 8 2011, 19:37

Thanks a lot Gaia for your very helpful reply. Great info!

For SP missions it seems to be a good thing, packing as addon. I'll take a look at it and try to put it in action.

And thanks for the compliments on Workhorse - I'll maybe do something similar in the future for the South Asia map. Too bad we don't have a Chinook (yet)

I'm also thinking about splitting the CAS mission into two. North and South, both using just one half of the map - To reduce the long flights to the task location...

@Gaia
Addon missions don't work in MP (as long as there is no ingame addon download).

Nice video! ...and nice flying, your skills are quite impressive!

One thing though, the helicopter you destroyed was on your side - As of yet, there are no enemy air units. Just 55% chance that a friendly heli spawns in the area.

Maybe i should add a hostile heli as well? Looks like fun killing them

LOL! really? I shot a friendly down? Imagine air being slowly let out of a balloon, the sound it makes...

thanks for the compliment

Wow, this is hard! Great mission, but I think I had better learn to fly properly before I have to shoot as well!

EDIT ---> Just completed it - what a hoot! Great mission, my effort is currently chugging it's way up to Youtube!

Thanks... and yeah, that's what i thought. But after a few rounds of playing it you get better at shooting and flying at the same time...

Well it's a bit confusing that the units are not complaining about friendly fire like in ArmA ...

So, i wrote that myself using Event Handlers. Will be included in the next update:
