- Operation Falcon

Date: 02/23/2010

Version: 1.1

Required Addons: None

Mission Description: You are a helicopter pilot on the deck of the USS Khe Sanh. You have three helicopters at your disposal: AH-1Z, AH-64D and a Mi24D (CDF with a CDF gunner). Each helicopter has an assigned gunner who will be automatically assigned to you when you enter the cockpit of your choice aircraft. Upon exiting a helicopter to choose another one, you will be assigned that helicopters gunner as your gunner and dis-assigned any other gunner you may have had previously grouped to you when entering a previous helicopter.

Features: The player has at his disposal via the high-command feature 2 Marine rifle squads that are on the front of the USS Khe Sanh in MV-22 Osprey's awaiting your command to parachute (radio trigger alpha). Your job as the pilot is to eliminate all anti-air threats, not necessarily complete any objectives outright. This is best accomplished by approaching Utes at a stand-off distance and taking out any armor and anti-air units that come up on your radar. Once you are satisfied that the anit-air threat is reduced, call in the Marines who will land at the indicated DZ, at which point you can order them to objectives via the high-command function. Once in this role, you can either land and fight it out (unrealistic) or provide ground support by flying around 50-100 M off the deck (more realistic).

Scripts used: USPS by JW Custom and an old eject script from Arma 1.

Known Bugs: None at this time. As this is a beta, you most likely will play the mission differently than I and discover something amiss. Please report!

This mission is hard to get started with using ACE. The frogfoot always kills an Osprey (if not you) and the AA missile on the island hit me 2000m out.

I could probably shoot down the frogfoot with vanilla, but Mando Missiles makes it more difficult.

Another fun mission, thanks mate.

I decided to land the chopper and join the airborne troops - There wasn't much left before i remembered to call them in. :p No bugs to report either.
