Brief description: Mc202 appearing all too often in the single player campaign

 

Detailed description: I am playing the campaign (mainly intercept and ground attack Lagg-3) and I just started the second chapter :

I found that I was very frequently meeting Mc202, wheras they perforemd only 17 sorties between sept 42 and the end of Stalingrad

12 arrived in spet 1942, and 6 others in dec 1942, which is very small compared to the number of 109 G and F !

Basically, 50% of my missions as a Russian player encounter Mc202, even when attacking Pitomnik !

It really spoils the immersion.

I also saw quite often P40E in sept 1942

I hope this is the right forum. I'm reporting an error where I lifted in a mission earlier to take out ships. When I arrived I bombed the ships destroying both of them shot down several plans and was able to take out some additional AI structures. When I return to base following the mission plan, I landed successfully and completed what I thought was the mission landing at my home airfield. Unfortunately when I despond I could not get the mission complete message perhaps there was a trigger that wasn't activated in the mission. Just providing this for feedback thank you.

Edit- just for additional information this was in the third phase of the Stalingrad campaign first part.

hi !

 

campaign : bombing or ground attack missions mostly with Pe2 (or Il2 or stuka) - my colleague bombers leave to land after a short moment (it can be #3 and #4, or #3 #4 and #2) - even if I call them back - even if I make a turn to wait for them - only sometimes they all follow. it happens in all the campaign

 

only the fighters always follow

 

how can I make them follow ? threat to shoot them ?

HI,

 

In the second (City under siege) stage of the Battle of Moscow beta campaign the Axis airfield at Staritsa (also labelled Starica) at Grid 0709-1 is incorrectly showing as a Soviet one (red star instead of black cross within the activation circle).

 

I play on Steam if this makes any difference whatsoever.

 

Quite possible that someone else has already mentioned this, but I thought I would bring it up just in case.

So it seems. But there was no Exit point when I flew it so something is definatly weird.

Brief description: Mission failed eventhough objectives were met

 

Detailed description: BoM campaign, flying a Bf 110 on a ground attack mission, Full length, Expert mode. Objective was to destroy targets at an airfield. My flight wiped out every building and several parked planes. According to the briefing ANY target hit would count as a success. No "Success message" on screen but the entire airfield was a burning mess when we headed for the home base. My rear gunner destroyed a P-40 that attacked us and we landed safely. No XP for taking off, mission failure and no XP for landing eventhough at least three small hangars, one large hangar, two parked Pe-2's and a P-40 were destroyed. I got 16 XP for destroying two search lights though...

JU-88 bombing Moscow chapter 2

Two problems:

1. AI wingmen failed to take off.

2. Never got the first waypoint, just sent me off in some weird direction

 

I flew toward and past that waypoint anyways (the one before action point) but it never triggered.

Brief Description: AI pilots frequently ramming me during bombing missions.

 

Detailed Description: I have recently found that the enemy BF-109 defenders will ram my Pe-2 during egress from the Action Area. I recently attained pilot level 12 through unlocking aircraft from both sets and this has particularly been an issue since that point. While I realise that historically this would happen from time to time either intentionally or by accident, I feel that when it happens on 4 or 5 missions in one evening, the mechanic is maybe not operating as intended. What will happen is that after dropping my bombs and heading away from the target area either one or two enemy fighters will latch on to me while ignoring closer targets and then bore in for the attack. I'm never quite sure whether the crashes are a result of them intentionally ramming me or of my rear gunner shooting them and then they lose control and take me out on the way.

[Chief_Mouser]

Here's an odd one:

 

Single-Player Campaign

Battle of Moscow

Chapter 4: Counter-Offensive

Pilot Level 9

Mission name: Enemy supply dump bombing strike

Mission date: 1942.01.02  13:17:51

Primary Flight: 6x Pe-2 ser.35

Cover: 2 fighters

 

 

As you can see, the 'enemy' supply dump is on my side of the lines. Out of curiosity I went ahead and bombed it (my dopey AI chums pretty much missed it and blew up a lot of snow), and sure enough I got a friendly fire message - plus 'TASK COMPLETED' (!)  To try and gain some plus points I went off and attacked Kalinin airfield further along. Got picked off by a 109 though so no idea what would have happened if I'd have made it to the Exit Point or landed safely.

Cheers.

[Chief_Mouser]

On a further note on the above mission: (bird) 2, 3 and 4 all use their correct callsigns on the radio, but (bird) 5 and 6 use (bird) 3 as well. So there are three Oriol/Rook/Eagle etc 3's flying about. This happens on all missions when the player's flight has more than four aircraft.

Cheers.

Brief description: Bf110 using summer skins in winter missions
Detailed description, conditions: I was playing Chapter 4 and I noticed that the Bf110 AI's that randomly spawned in (they were on their own mission) didn't have the appropriate winter skins. I kind of ignored it in Chapter 3 as its the first snowfall but Chapter 4 they should probably be painted white.

Getting fed up with this now. Level 10 Pilot, Battle of Moscow, Part 5. Bf109E-7. Four consecutive missions:

1. Escort our bombers. Three out of six He111s I'm supposed to escort crash into trees near the airfield before I even get off the ground.

2. Attack transport. Destroy three trucks, fourth is burning. Head home after getting TASK COMPLETED message. Upon landing get Mission Failure.

3. Intercept attack planes. Airfield is under attack when I spawn so go after P-40s above. Shoot one down - definite kill - land because of damage, 0 pts. Kill not registered.

4. Airfield attack. Destroy five parked aircraft and two buildings. Requirement is four units. No TASK COMPLETED message and Mission Failure on landing.

If I didn't need the unlocks I wouldn't persevere with this badly flawed 'campaign'. Thank goodness for PWCG.

Cheers.

Brief description: "FINISH MISSION" option does not appear after reaching exit point or successfully landing.

 

Detailed description: This has happened three times so far, once with the MiG-3, once with the I-16, once with the Pe-2, all during Battle of Moscow but I have not played Battle of Stalingrad since the last update.

 

Having completed the mission objective, I head back to the exit point. No "FINISH MISSION" option appears. I then fly back home, get the "Start landing approach" message and head in for landing. Land without problem or damage. Hit Esc, but only "BACK TO GAME", "SETTINGS" and "CANCEL MISSION" are available. I have tried moving the aircraft around the airfield, turning the engines off, turning them on again, but none of these things have any effect. I will supply a track next time the issue appears.

Seems linked to type of plane. When intercepting attakcers or bombers mission loads fine. Mission is airfield independant but airfield wont give other intercepttarget then transport planes. My plane is Yak 1. Ju52 will load fine in quick mission.

Exactly the same issue as i'm having, although it seems to cause a crash in any part of the Stalingrad campaigns for me. Fine if enemy intercept target is Bombers/ Fighters, crash if target is JU52.

[Smouch]

Stalingrad Campaign:

Chapter 3;

 

1) Pe-2  mission is to bomb rail yards.  Dropped bombs from 6,000m, saw them hit.  I then got that I destroyed rail yard buildings etc.  But I then got "No bombs hit: mission failed" 

It was the correct target because I was constantly checking my map to confirm landmarks etc.  I dropped 10 x 100's, first hit was just short of the target and the rest 'walked ' right through the yards.

 

Mission was the Gumyak (?) rail yards, re-flew it earlier after a system restart and mission successful...

 

2) LaGG-3 escort mission.  Escorting 3 IL-2's while they did a ground assault.  Not one of the IL-2s were shot down, I got Task completed.  Engaged 2 x 109s and then made it back to base after flying through the exit point.  Crash landed and was not killed,  got cancel mission as my option to leave the mission and ended up with only 8XP for my troubles

Once reached the exit point i cannot end the mission, then i landed. As before i cannot finish the mission.

Brief description: Game fails to Finish Mission if player's aircraft gets Critically Damaged while simultaneously reaching Exit Point.

Detailed description, conditions: Was flying a Campaign Mission on the Ju-87 Stuka, the objective being to Bomb a Railway Station. Destroyed the objective (plane got hit by a few AAA) and climbed up to 3500 m. Managed to fly to the Exit Point but the aircraft got Critically Damaged due to overheating just as the message stating "You have reached the Exit Point" popped up. After that, when pressing ESC key, the menu said "Mission in Progress" (The menu's top was of orange color and said "Mission in Progress" even though the Mission's Objective had been accomplished) and the option which should have said "Finish Mission" said instead "Cancel Mission" as if Exit Point had not been reached. Furthermore, clicking on the "Cancel Mission" button would not perform any action and the plane had already crashed, thus I had to force close Il-2 BoS in order to get out of the mission. (The program didn't crash, it would simply not let me get out of the mission)

Brief description:  Stuka scenario Mission "Distant Guns" not completed successful im Campaign
Detailed description, conditions: There is a Stuka Mission called "Distant Guns" in the First Part of the Stalingrad Campaign. I completed it several times, yet the game never counts it as successful. I fly to the target, drop my bomb and if I press the Escape Button it says: "Objective completed, fly back home" (or something like this). However, I get no Mission Success Message after the Landing. Tried it mutiple times, had also the Autopilot fly and land it once, but no luck.

Some missions are disabled, and the campaign does not finish.

 

 

In several chapters of BoM, there are disabled missions (they are greyed out with a lock symbol), and there is no manual provided with the sim, and no explanation whatsoever on the conditions to enable those missions. Perhaps as a consequence, there is no indication that the campaign is finished, but maybe it's on purpose, hard to know again without any manual (found an old version of a tentative manual in a thread, but it does not correspond to the current version of the game, and does not provides any answer to those issues).

Trying to run missions on all the existing available spots does not seem to unlock the disabled missions.

Most likely, the mission is not available for this type of aircraft.

Not sure how I can describe it further, I'll try to get a screenshot.

 

Once you select a chapter, you have the map, from which you select a mission. Some of the missions remain locked, as described earlier. At this stage, you haven't selected any aircraft yet, it only comes when you click on the mission icon.

 

Perhaps the best would be to provide us with a manual? I don't find it normal to have to ask this kind of question. As it is now, there are potentially hundreds or thousands of people who buy the sim, and who have to waste time asking / finding out how this works.

Hi,

 

This weekend I have launched the game after 5 day break and noticed that all aircraft and targets are missing on the map what makes playing the game almost impossible as I need to spend too much time on navigating. This applies to all campaign mission as well as quick mission. Screenshots attached of system config and map in the game. Please help as I can't enjoy my hobby  

I have checked all the settings (PC, Steam, Game itself) and all seems normal and I didn't change anything since last weekend when it was all normal.

 

Also I have tried reinstalling the game, but it didn't fix the problem.

 

Best regards,

Condition: Since 2.010 update in BOS campaigns when I choose plane (F190A3) -> interception, got 1 to three F190 A3 wingmen, they follow me to the action point.

 

Problem:

 

Ones reached the action point

- the wingmen flight circles around the action point even when the targets enemy fighters are in range,

- ignore any Alt+1, Alt+3, Alt+5 = firing green light... commands to attack enemy fighters, to support my attack, to follow me an so on: they still flight circles around the action point

Brief description: P-40 flight fly straight to the ground

 

Detailed description: I took an airfield attack mission in Stalingrad chapter 1 Advance to Volga with Ju-87. I took off from Skvorin and were to attack Panshino airfield. When we approached target area, I noticed from the outside view that an flight of P-40 were flying with canopy open, flaps down and landing lights on. They were steadily decreasing altitude. In the end they flew straight to the ground, not even trying to pull up. In the target airfield another flight of P-40s took off when we attacked. BTW, my AI wingman did not attack on this mission either even if ordered to do so, he just followed me passively.

 

I have a picture of that flight here, our flight is on the background:
