New Scenario for testing - IOF #4 The Gate of Tears

[Gunner98]

Thanks Badlandz

Mk77, will do but only limited stocks. From what I understand it was left over from Viet Nam and due for destruction - dropping it on bad guys is the best way of destruction that I know of though [:D]

Will fix up the other stuff - thanks for picking it up.

Good point on NGS ammo. It might come in handy...

Mk47 was the old Vietnam era stuff... Mk77 is the new hotness

Considered current production from what I understand...

Have accumulated a/c at Thumrait and sent a SEAD mission over Socatra, queued by a TLAM strike to get any SAM defenses radiating. This works and HARMs make quick work of defending radar-guided SAMs. Follow up with an airfield strike by Omani Jags that obliterate remaining Sov a/c there, though they lose one Jag doing so. Other nautical defenders of Socatra also eliminated. Lots of ferrying of ground forces to Djibouti. Transalls are mainly personnel transports while Hercs carry the cargo. This might take a while. Also noting that Djibouti is going to get packed with a/c without a little planning.

Couple questions..
The AV8B C141 has landed at thumrait but I didn't get any munitions. Is there a time delay for the lua to move them?


Second.. the fighters at sana'a have no reloads not sure if that was your intention.

I got this Lua error message regarding the C141

09:20:45 - 09:20:45 - Lua script execution error: [string "C-141 arrives Thumrait"]:8: ')' expected near 'Sign'


09:20:45 - 09:20:45 - Event: 'C-141 arrives Thumrait' has been fired.

If you need it I have the save file

[Gunner98]

Thanks Andrea G - no need for a save I know what the problem is!

I'm just back home now and will get an update out in a couple days.

To fix and keep playing - are you comfortable in the editor?

-Go to actions - open up the action Lua-C-141 at Thumrait (or something close to that)
-Copy all but the last line (the one that has the message with the extra quote marks in it)
-Go to the Lua Consul, (editor menu at the bottom.
-Paste the code in the bottom window and hit run

The ammo will be at Thumrait

If your not comfortable doing that, send me the file and I'll fix and send back.

Sorry bout that.

There is a time delay but there is an error in the code as well. See my post above.

Good catch on Sana. Will fix

Ok more questions..

LCVPs and LCMs at Djibouti don't have the fuel to get to bem and back. The LPD can only embark 2 LCVPs.

Are they supposed to be used with the other phibs near socatra?

[Gunner98]

OK here is the next version with most of the issues mentioned above taken care of.

Regarding the landing craft at Djibouti: Those were in place at war start - well before a mission was clear. If you cannot find a use for them, I'd be surprised, but Socotra is a USMC operation.

I've figured out how to use the LCVPs...however the LCMs don't have the fuel to get to Perim Island and return. The LCVPs can be brought aboard the LPD (2 at a time for refueling) but the LCMs are to large...am I missing something?

[Gunner98]

The LCMs fit as well. They're only 17m long.

Well I think I can manage that, if I mess up something I will ring you [:D]

Lol...that's what I get for just reading what type they use vs looking at the actual"size"..

My bad...

[Gunner98]

Anyone having progress on this one?

Looking at puting out another one with lots of cargo shortly so any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.

[magi]

ive been playing this.... only into it a while.... i only have couple comments at this early point....
MPS Sqn 2 Det has such high value units.. that to be escorted by a single knox seems imprudent...
with a potential air threat from Socotra... at least a couple of aircraft with A/A loadouts would seem reasonable...
the cargo operations would be fun.....

[magi]

what is... NATO PG at king Abdullaziz AB doing... i dont see any notes about them... ans i would use them if i could...?

[Gunner98]

Thanks magi

- NATO PG (my short form for NATO forces in the Persian Gulf) is fighting a war with Iran (IO Fury #1). Most of the units on the map have specific tasks - either to come to you with special actions or to support various elements through the game. Have you activated the special actions?
- 100% correct on MPS Sqn 2, you fight the war with what you have but there are some measures you might take as a player to mitigate it a bit.
- I believe that there are a couple Sea Harriers on the Ark Royal and you also have a special action that might help.

[magi]

okdokie.... i havent seen special action message yet.... ill check

[magi]

i found special actions menue.... its a new deal for me... very interesting option to have more choices....

[Gunner98]

New ones will pop up from time to time. You'll get a message when they do.
