Drew 10 Posted October 8, 2009 (edited) hello, I am in the process of making a ARMA 2 mission called Operation Thunder Wave. Basically you and your wingman are Escorts for a B52 Bomber squad with a mission to destroy the enemies airfield, below is a video and some screenshots of the semi complete mission, I plan on adding more MIGS as well as more ground targets & more Anti Aircraft vechiles to make it a bit harder. I also plan on adding a bit of radio chatter clips that I've collected over the years. I plan on releasing the actual mission in a few weeks time. Addons that will be required are Gnats B52 Bomber F16 Fighting Falcon RKSL Flares Addon Community Base Addon Island Panthera & VOP 2.1 Sound Addon (Optional) Enjoy the movie & screenies :D MAKE SURE TO WATCH IN HD otherwise it looks shitty :D -Shinobi- Edited October 8, 2009 by Drew Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

l mandrake 9 Posted October 9, 2009 Looks great, but perhaps a SEAD escort should go in first, or those Tunguskas/Shilkas/Iglas are going to have a shooting gallery ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drew 10 Posted October 9, 2009 Looks great, but perhaps a SEAD escort should go in first, or those Tunguskas/Shilkas/Iglas are going to have a shooting gallery ;) haha yea but thats the fun of it! basically your objective will be to clear all the AA threats before the bombers can get there, I plan on making a campaign to go along with this, but that will be some time in the future, If anyone could help with that it would be much apprecaited.

-DirTyDeeDs--Ziggy- 0 Posted October 9, 2009 (edited) it must be hard to maintain balance against enemy ai jet pilots. In my limited experience, they are difficult to play against, engaging and destroying you more than 6k away. example: +3 enemy bogies in the air, and you as attack chopper or jet pilot. you may destroy 2 of the bogies, but before you can reload another pair of air-to-air missles you will be destroyed. I havent tried the Flares addon, but I didnt see the ai use it in the vid. another balance issue? I look forward to your mission and hope it takes the previous opinions into consideration. ;) Edited October 9, 2009 by [DirTyDeeDs]-Ziggy- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drew 10 Posted October 9, 2009 Yes I had the skill level of the jets dumbed down for the video, I plan on making them harder as far as skill level goes, but with the F16 multirole you have 6 Air to Air Missles (I believe) 2 mavericks and 2 GBU's so +2 F16's = 12 air to air missles all together + cannon rounds. The flares do work at range, and the f16 allready has a flare's system built into it. The hardest part of the mission will require you to not lose all 3 bombers, if you do, than the mission will be a failure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
larsiano 12 Posted November 6, 2009 This looks awsome ive been looking out for more AIR-time in Arma. Is there any chance of a MP version? I would love to help test cheers !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drew 10 Posted November 6, 2009 still working this, Ive had to start from scratch because I stupidly deleted the first mission because I downloaded 2.31 and overwrote my mission file :( . So yes this is a definite WIP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
