Loel posted:Yooper, did you plan the dictator's personality before or after we chose a side? I pretty much knew what either side was going to be like ahead of time. The reddit/waifu pillow stereotype on one side, crazy dictator Saddam/Qadafi/Erdogan/Trumpish, and the old guard noble seeking one last glorious adventure. Think Patrick Lee Fermor, Count von Rosen, even TE Lawrence. Oh hai, intel.   Video is rendering, then will upload, then I'll do the usual post.

We'll need one. (I mean, the mission has already been run, but in the future, if another goon want's Yooper to read their stupid callsign, here's a way)

Unless I REALLY get lost I suspect I'll actually end up in a lithium mine. Actually I was just watching a doc on MAPLE FLAG and one of the missions they did back in '08 was a downed pilot rescue; Phi do you think that could be a neat mission for the ground boys should one of us get blowed up real good on a mission?

They do CSAR missions at Red Flag from time-to-time as well. As soon as possible, we'll want to grab a helo for our ground forces to ride in. Some more MQ-9s or Super Tucanos for Sandy work would be nice, too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7zk_2S5esE&t=1811s

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEgnmgYAfdA    Footage is coming out of the Angolan Comfort Hotel and Safari that Wing Commander Rohan hit. We're trying to pawn it off as someone else, but one of the rather unique bombs she dropped didn't detonate and came to rest in the middle of a tub of palm oil. At least it wasn't a school or a hospital. At the same time she nailed the processing facility at that lithium mine too. We've been hoping to capture those points intact. I haven't heard anything from her since the mission. Already Von Hoff's forces are pushing into the gaps left where Dos Santos's armor is destroyed. Mission Chat The loss to the SAM is my fault. I should have pulled that Tornado off of the target as soon as they couldn't get a lock. There was a radar picked up that was dropped shortly after and that Tornado kept doing laps searching for a target. I expected it to either fire, or leave. The other one was a bit of welp. Our F4's tried to screen it but it was a nimble beast. Overall I felt that the mission went pretty well. In the future I'll be starting with a Patrol to get a sortie in the air and looking and then shift to a Land Strike Mission to prevent the "Shoot the BMP's" issue we had.

Well looking at the mission I have to ask: Jesus loving Christ how many of the Dictator's planes did we shoot down!? That was practically an entire air wing shot down before they could even get past the border in the west! Also, RIP our two Tornadoes. Your sacrifices were mostly in vain, but we won't tell the investors that.

sparkmaster posted:There has got to be a way to set the AI to not drop eight tons of bombs on a pair of BMPs that aren't even the objective. There is. You can check out their "target lists" under the attack/weapons commit interface, and then delete anything you don't want them to shoot. Also once again requesting losses and expenditures from all sides.

Oh my god did we just vaporize like half the Dictator's airforce in the west? The Tornadoes are a shame, and probably could have been avoided, but that's the cost of doing business I guess. At least the Great Benguela Turkey Shoot will hopefully make it easier to hold air superiority.

Lost a Tornado to a Strela-10. At least it's less embarassing than losing a Gripen to a J7... and godammit this is why Rohan was a terrible choice. Manning that drone continues to appear to be the safest idea. PS I am totally hanging a sign outside the trailer to name it The Meat Locker.

Probably rich tourists. Worst possibility now is outside intervention on behalf of the Dictator... EDIT: By the way, Yooper, ground units consisting of a composite of multiple units (like a unit of 4 tanks) will have a little white number indicating how many subunits are represented by that icon. If any guided ordnance is launched at that unit, the count will show up as a little white number just underneath that one. Davin Valkri fucked around with this message at 06:15 on Apr 23, 2017 |
