Campaign Problem

[oneeyeddog]

Last nite i decided to spawn in at the 1st Waypoint instead of taking off as I usually do in an effort to obtain the last field mod for the PE-2. I fly Expert and I'm currently on the 4th chapter of the Campaign. Many times My flight would spawn in below treetop level and sometimes I was able to pull up and climb away and sometimes I was already in the trees or hit the ground. A few times Id spawn in and would immediately be notified Id been killed. This happened in both Ground attack and Bombing Missions. According to the Mission briefing I should have been at 2500 meters. Has anyone else had this happen?

Never seen that. Sounds like a bug. AFAIK the topography of the map should allow you plenty of altitude to be safe when you spawn in at the usual 500m above sea level on a ground attack mission, no matter where you are on the map.

Finkeren i had never had this happen before and I'm unsure if this issue is exclusive to the Pe-2 Ground attack missions or not. I'll check other AC\ missions.

I've never experienced this either but I normally, like yourself, take off. I'll try this and see as soon as my internet (thank you Comcast) comes back up.

Thanks Chief, be ready to pull up as soon as you hit unpause , just in case!

S!

 

 Never had that problem in Pe-2 if chose bombing missions. I never did Ground Attack in it though. He111H-6 or Stuka had no problems either.

I went to the campaign mode after todays patch and selected the Pe-2 and spawned in air. They must have fixed the problem or I just didn't have it. I pawned a good ways up in the air with no problems and completed the mission. Sorry ...

Thanks for checking, Chief. I think then, it must be unique to my PC because strangely the same thing happened to me again 3 times in a row last nite, only on PE-2 ground attack missions. Once, the PE-2 spawned in to a belly landing, second time; too low to clear the tree line and the 3rd time I did not even get to 'unpause' before I was pronounced dead. I switched to a few PE-2 bombing missions and experienced no problems and when i went back to ground missions they also ran fine. Only happens to the PE-2, and only if my first choice of PE-2 mission is ground attack. So im just not going to do that anymore!

I have had it once, PE2 and I was into the deck before I could do anything about it., but that was a couple of updates ago.
