The only reason I put you down as the Huey is that I think that TF only has the A10C and Su-25T, and since we really only need one SEAD aircraft for this mission, it might as well be him since he doesn't have the option to join the Kamovs or SAR. If TF is unable to make it then I'm sure something can be arranged between us. Obviously for other missions our options are either more limited or more open depending on the tasks required.
We're still using TS2 on the usual address.

Well as long the a pair of slots of the Kamovs are filled then I say having a back up SEAD in the mission is preferable if TF gets shot down during his run the mission will bog down especially if we do the SAR thing where the Huey's have to pick him up and bring him back to base and then he starts, arms and takes of again. It would be more logical to have a wingmen stay out of the danger zone while TF goes in and takes the targets he can if he either runs out of missiles to take them out or gets shot down the wingmen moves in to finnish the job.

As for the Huey I think the role of Combat Transport would make more sense, from what I've red it can be done (http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.ph...62#post1756962). The whole SAR thing is nice but eventually will bog down the mission in time and what if the Huey gets shot down..who is going to save him

? I think we should adapt the model of when working in pairs only if the other lands back at base or gets shot down as well you may respawn at base and take off as a pair again.

Well the Huey would have immunity from the rescue thing, but yeah you do have a point about it bogging down in time, but it's a case of trying to find something for the Hueys to do, especially in the training mission.

That being said, if the Hueys could land troops at the airfield, that would be pretty awesome and would help the convoy take it...

Arclight, do-able?

You should ask the Hueys whether that's do-able.

Last time I went near that airfield a tank used me for target practise.

Maybe we should assign an A10 for Huey escort. In Vietnam rescue choppers where accompanied by Skyraiders, Corsairs and the like which blew up pretty much the entire area around the landing zone to make it safe for the heli.

Could fake it well enough. Have a Huey touch down somewhere and spawn a squad nearby. Not pretty, but somewhat functional.

Doesn't really fly in the current scenario, on account of manpads, but could work it in in the future.

Hunter, Arclight and Schroeder start up their Kamovs and Huey respectively

While Raptor and I line up for launch

Arclight takes off and powers towards the convoy to engage it before it is hit by the enemy, Hunter ejects and leaves. Raptor and I form up and head towards the airbase.

I take out the SAM sites, and Raptor rolls in hot with his A10. Then we get a warning from Arclight that he's not going to be able to get to the convoy in time due to a delay in take off. So, although I'm winchester I still have guns, so me and Raptor divert to assist Arclight.

I find the convoy when SAMs start flying past me, so I hit the deck, and go for a spot of strafing. Raptor joins in the fun and takes out a couple of tanks, Arclight then arrives and starts hitting the convoy with Vikhirs. After a few MG rounds rattle around my airframe I decide to RTB.

While we're focused on hitting the ground forces, the Hinds come in and get the drop on Arclight.

The AAA from the friendly convoy downs one of the Hinds, but not before it relieves Arclight of some of his aircraft

Raptor finds the other Hind and puts it in the sea

So, as we turn back to base, I have some damage around the nose and engine

Raptor has some holes in his fuselage and wing

And Arclight...yeah...less said about that the better...

Landing...looking good this time...

Raptor shows how it's done

Before falling to his old nemesis the quicksand grass

Schroeder rubs it in by landing his Huey nearby and taking off again

All eyes turn to the sky as Arclight limps in

Arclight lands successfully but complains that his hand hurts, so Schroeder medivacs him

Arclight is evacuated onto the Antonov, to be taken away for expert surgery on his aching hand.
