Debatable Bravery

He saved hundreds but now he cannot save himself! Will you save him?

 

1.] Hypothesis: War is raging in the Mediterranean! Greek and NATO forces are battling CSAT forces. One of the battlefields? The island of Altis! Altis is where hostile Assault Force Viper conducts war crime operations. A few hours ago they even tried to ambush a convoy carrying locals to the hospital of Kavala! They were families in need of medical assistance. Gladly we found out about their plans and although the harsh weather conditions we immediately dispatched Jet Squadron Zeus to intercept them. Zeus managed to not only intercept Viper but they even caused heavy casualties to them! One of their Jets however was hit by an AA missile and the pilot had to eject North of Altis. So now we have to find and rescue that pilot. While we do so hostile troops are also trying to find and kill him. Why? Because he is not just a pilot. He is Greeces Minister of Defense! Once he heard that Zeus Squadron was missing a pilot, due to him being really sick, he jumped in the plane and went with! Losing such a person would be a disaster since he is someone who can greatly increase the troops moral and he is even the guy who organized and coordinated the retaking of Altis. So he might have saved hundreds of families but will he die, the whole Altis invasion might be at risk!

2.] Important details:

a)To play in SP you have to be the GROUP LEADER of the SLING-LOAD chopper team.
b)This mission has high replayability. The Jet Pilot's location along with all units' patrols are random.
c)To control the ships you have to be the CAPTAIN of the wanted ship.
d)In the airport the choppers can get repaired, rearmed and refueled.
e)Playing in SP will be really hard so you can use the SP Friendly action located on a laptop at the start of the mission.
f)In SP additional rescue teams will search and notify if they find the pilot but some are only available in MP. 
g)Respawn: Instant although there is no vehicle respawn

Armaholic Link added.

[JohnKalo 657]

Please note, this mission is no longer playable! That is due to the Greek Navy add-on been updated. 

 

All download links but the armaholic ones have been removed. The mission will be playable again once it is updated. Sadly however the version v2 of the Greek Navy add-on seems to have a variety of bugs especially in an MP environment. So until the add-on creators manage to solve those bugs there will be no update. 

 

Thanks for your understanding.

Mission updated and no longer unplayable due to ASR AI3 update!

Hey, thanks for the mission but I have troubles to start it. Apparently the files "asr_ai3_cfgcamouflage" and "asr_ai3_cfgvehicles" from the ASR AI3 mod are missing. They are not included in the Steamworkshop version (anymore?). Could you check this?  Thanks!

Thanks for reporting the issue. I downloaded the mission and tried it. There were no problems detected.

 

I also un-binarized the mission.sqf file to be sure and after the update there is no  "asr_ai3_cfgcamouflage" or "asr_ai3_cfgvehicles". Those were existent in the previous version. 

However if you have downloaded the mission from armaholic, the older version is there and yes that one is unplayable. The updated links are here in the forums and on the website.

 

Armaholic has not been updated because in total 20 missions need to be updated. I will try to update them there too but it will take a while since in armaholic I need to mail the site-devs to make any sort of changes and that takes time. Even in the forums 3 missions have yet to have the new updated versions. The above one does.

 

So if you download the mission again and have the same issue please say so because there might be some major ASR AI3 issue.
