C01: convoy

[lilwillie]

Wow, there must be some tricky triggers that must need to get set for things to work properly.

I've played the mission a few more times and never had had a problem, the boat shows up right after I clear the village(lametin) and I can go back to base, or just jump in the Humvee and haul ass for the hospital or provins.

Might have to try and go rambo and see if it screws up like others have had.

The only thing that did occur that bothered me was the radio message says 4 t-80s inbound but only 2 show up. There dumber than dirt though, easy work with the Carl Gustov right up there pooper.

I have yet to beat this mission fully, but I did have an amusing go at it the other day.....I nailed the hind with an AA launcher and the pilots LANDED, then bailed out. Shot them both, and stole the Hind. Made short work of the tanks (duh), but then for some bizarre reason the freaking thing just blew up for no apparent reason and I didnt' have a save game........sigh.

Ok, I think I've sorted out how one of the problem triggers works.

After returning to Lamentin and speaking with the officer in charge, the plan should update to include holding the Southern Road. ***But, whenever I've managed to keep any enemy infantry from entering the town then the Southern Road task remains indefinitely. ***In other words, the mission's trigger seems to be based on failing that objective.

Once an enemy soldier has entered the town (not necessarily even near the Southern Road), the conversation with "we can see 3, no 4 tanks..." will activate along with the final objective - escaping to a friendly base.

I gotta say though, that even with the unfortunate forced failure trigger, this is still one of my favourite missions.

Hey, is there a patch for this or anything? even when i take the boat back, and have defended the base and no tanks come, it still X's out the defend south road box! please help. any new leads?

I've been playing this mission for years and I still can't figure out what the trigger is. But I think Bernadotte is right about the failure trigger. I have observed that when the ruskies are all over the place and kicking your ass that's when it usually triggers. I manage to defend the base, "collected" M60's, BMP's, M1A1's, M113's and still did not trigger the T-80's (I think I blew it up on my recon. Ooops!). Is there a way to open this map or mission in the editor? So we can finally see where the trigger is?

i've played this mission before many times, but not for awhile. Ive always got to the point the tanks come rolling on, i destroy as many as i can, then i end up with Russian paratroopers dropping in. Its one hard mission, i think the main aim is really to survive the mission you cant beat it, its too hard to hold the south road.
