Falklands Style Mission


Recommended Posts

Bluff Cove updated V1.2

 

Hi chaps new to mission building so go easy:smilewink:

 

Updated mission!!

 

Falklands War set in Normandy Map. Based on real life events of June 8 1982. Please take the time to watch the video before playing the mission.

 

Credit to Smithsonian Channel for the video.

 

 

It's 10 weeks into the Falklands War, and two British Harriers find themselves protecting damaged ships. Suddenly, Argentine Skyhawks appear on the horizon and a fight ensues.

While unloading on 8 June, the British ships were attacked by two waves of A-4 Skyhawks from the Argentine Air Force's 5th Air Brigade, each of them loaded with three 500 lb retarding tail bombs. At approximately 14:00 local time the ships RFA Sir Tristram and RFA Sir Galahad were badly damaged. At 16:50 a second wave, composed by four A-4Bs of Grupo 5 hit and sank a Landing Craft Utility from HMS Fearless. Sea Harrier combat air patrol was already on scene and responded; three Skyhawks were shot down and their pilots killed, The fourth aircraft suffered combat damage and lost a large amount of fuel, but returned to the mainland assisted by a KC-130 tanker.

 

Added heaps more to this mission including voice overs, longer time on station (fuel management is essential if you want to stay around for the fight) enemy air defenses, third wave and also 801 NAS is there to relive you and your wingman.

 

I hope to do some more Falklands style missions in the future. Anything that I can improve one feel free to let me know.

Hi guys. Im playing the Falklands mission. Pretty good but keep hitting a snag. When I land at Novorossyk? (Port Stanley) airport, when I bring my harrier to a stop, the plane suddenly jumps vertically into the air! As though god himself is lifting it up then drops the plane into the ground causing it to crash! ANY IDEAS why this is happening ?
