Mission 11 - missleading messages about bandits

[Padre Pio]

I am still enjoying the campaing and competed 11 missions till now. 

Mission 11 is also very interesting, but there was some point I did not like:

 

I received the message from HQ about 2 bogeys - nice.

Next message - they are turning cold, and it happens in fact.

After a while they are turning back, locking you and finally attacking you -> total silence from HQ.

 

It can be confusing a little bit. It would be better if there was no message at all, or in other option, another message like "they are coming back.." or sth. It could be a message from Wingman as well. 

 

Thanks!

That's not supposed to happen. I will check it  out in case a DCS AI update has broken things.

 

To clarify then  they turned and attacked you  before you have dealt with the sinkers?  

 

EDIT

Hi, I am not sure if we are talking about the same mission.

I mean MSN11 where you are escorting C-17. Event with 2 MiG-21's is few minutes before. There was no sikners here.

If you still would have some details, just let me know

SPOILER ALERT

 

Have now checked it out. Could not get the bogies to return and attack. Tried numerous times even flying directly towards them. The only way I could get them to attack is fly directly towards them, and then follow them after they have turned, then lock them up on the radar with weapons hot. If prodded enough they will attack.

 

The orders from Strike are to continue on your route to your main task and monitor only, so using you radar. When remaining on route and monitoring could not get bogies to attack. (They are scripted to stop attack and head of to an air base.)

 

So can not repeat, all tested on Open Beta.   

 

Were you on your flight plan route and only monitoring ?

 

Hope this helps

Bad luck, I haven't saved that track. As I remmeber, it is possible that I left the planned path 1nm -2nnm away towards them. The next radio call that "they are turing cold appeared, when they were about 10-15nm from me. Whole the time I was using TWS and no hard-locking them. After that I returned to the planned route and observed how they are passing me.

 

After all I could regognize from RWR that they are taking a round and start to chase me, then locking and then taking me down with a gun. After next try of the mission I wasn't waiting
