Ambush demo level

[boxerperson 0]

i can easily get to the end of the demo mission ambush without having any of my team mates killed.....we take the town, but then the commies send in the big guns and we are forced to make a run for the beach......when we get there the blackhawk picks us up and flies off........only to get hit by SOMETHING that i can never seem to see.......well.....everything goes to hell and they tell me to jump out.......if i jump out right away i go splat, if i jump out at the last second.......i go splat.......if i dont jump out.......i go splat......WTF?! is there some secret parachute button or sumthin? ground troops wouldnt have paras so i doubt it, and theres nothing in the controls about parachuting.......

is the demo level just un-winnable?

it's a "if you want to know how it continues, buy the full version" type of level

there are two ways to complete ambush (its in the retail version too).

A) All your team mates get killed, and the mission turns to simple survival, and they tell you to just get back to friendly territory.

B) In your case, where you survive the whole way, but cant defeat the armor. You get into the blackhawk, fly for a short distance, and get shot down, and have to bail out.

The key here, is just to eject. all infantry guys have parachutes in OFP. Its one of the unrealistic conveniences, that i actually like.

If you manage to kill all the fleeing enemy troops who retreat over the hill, the armour won't arrive and you hold the town. That was a good feeling.

Knowing in which direction they will flee allows you to set up a flanking maneuver/ambush -- you can let them come to you, and have the rest of the AI deal with the majority of the defenders.
