Mission 3 - !Spoiler Warning!


Recommended Posts

That sounds like one of my missions (the recon before the airfield attack)?

You will improve your chances of winning this if you think less about reaching the OPs, and more about accomplishing your recon goal. In other words: think more in terms of real life military rather than RTS-arcade "move to point 1" :)

The OPs are secondary goals during the mission, and are "guidelines" by your commander, decided upon after some aerial recon. Once on the ground you may find that they work or do not work so well, and you need to adapt.

Really, spotting Red units is the primary goal. Remaining undetected is another secondary goal. If you blow your cover AND fail to spot a certain threshold of enemy units, you may lose even if you manage to reach all OPs.

I was focused on the OPs and made a second attempt at the mission after overlooking the fact there are 3 deployment zones and I'd tried to reach all OPs from one corner of the map. Unfortunately, while I successfully recced all the OPs, I was spotted which resulted in another draw. I'll take it on the chin and move on.

It was an interesting bloodless mission. At one point, I had a Syrian FO marching obliviously through my sights. I came very close to unleashing hell on him. :)
