Well in CM, Panthers come with functioning final drives and Syrians come in somehow with Air Support during a NATO invasion.

Just upgraded to Raddy drivers 21.11.3 Now the scenario reaches 49% instead of 43% before crashing. Progress folks!

Wasn't the amount of RPG ammo low only in QBs? Is it more in the editor?

I won't unless it effects other scenarios. I don't play huge maps and rolling back drivers is a hassle.

IIRC, these are supposed to reference the difficult logistic and economic issues Syria is facing at the time of the invasion. They can't get as much RPG rounds as they like to outfit all troops and have to ration them out.

Islamic State in Iraq existed even before the Syrian Civil War. They just took advantage of it to expand into the northern Syrian hinterlands.. Al Nusra Front is a separate indigenous Syrian Jihadist organization. I don't know if these organizations would exist in a Combat Mission SF2 aftermath, even the uncon forces are more similar to fedayeen Saddam nationalist forces rather than Religious or Sectarian organizations. Alawites are Shia Muslims, which is why Iran supports Assad. In real life, Syria was one of the major arteries of Jihadists to the Iraqi theater, and the Syrian government had little incentive to stop their flow into Iraq. Now that that corridor has been blocked. Where will it spread? Possibly Lebanon? Turkey's borders are quite porous and many fighters of all stripes flowed through there (Turkey missing from SF2 is a big oversight IMO. It's a NATO force and has no involvement in a full scale war right across its border?)

Wow, yeah that scenario doesn't load. I get to 43% and get a crash "Out of Memory". I tried the huge scenario above it "Rupenheim Rumpus (sp?)" and it worked fine. Will try other scenarios in other games.

Just a heads up. I have the Steam version of CW (So 1.02?) and the game doesn't crash for me despite having the latest drivers (21.10.2) from AMD. Tried both small and Huge Missions and they all loaded up normally

The MiG-23 was very impressive technically, having a lot of "firsts" for the Soviet aviation industry but really suffered from not really having a defined role and for stretching the technological limits of Soviet engineering past their limits. It's Engine was absolutely monstrous and the swept wings were neat but a lot of its technological advantages were quickly made obsolete by upgraded Western Fighters and the newer gen fighters. Plus that dude was flying the MiG-23ML, a much lighter and aerodynamically improved variant that saw limited service outside of the Soviet Union. Probably makes it more enjoyable to fly but doesn't help it much when an AIM-120 is bearing down on it.
