Israel Theater Release
-
Version 0.991 released! Check first post for the links.
This is a small update patch that fixes an issue with the ATO which prevented OCA missions from being generated effectively against active airbases. In addition, the campaigns were improved, and several reported issues were fixed (thank you ).Great job !!!
Thank you Echo

Hey echo7, not much time anymore but finished campaign without patch at 545 day 2.
couple things but you already know them, anyway, applied patch and will start a new campaign but this time under my control and ace settings.
disabling set by hq before even starting the new campaign.
Any concerns on your part ?
Oh, when campaign ends it simply pauses the sim, in flight or not.
And of course my KOREAN medal-haha -

Any concerns on your part ?On ace setting the number of aircraft in a squadron (for the Israeli side) is low which leads to fewer sorties generated. This is also why I feel this setting is less realistic. Nevertheless the campaign works fine, and remember you can make winning easier or harder depending on how well you plan the priorities and PAKs (vs the āHQā ones which work pretty well actually). The campaign can be won on ace setting too.

And of course my KOREAN medal-hahaYeap this is normal.

Yep, thanks dude.
Well after 18 campaigns won over the years, wonder how iād react to actually losing one.!!! -
Just finished second ITO campaign. This one took longer and went into early day 3. Ran it the same as first campaign that ended at the end of Day 1. This is what I have always loved about Falconās dynamic campaign engine. Never have the same exact scenario on consecutive campaigns.
Now will install patch and see difference. (Patch came just after starting this campaign)
-
Did you mess with the paks last time ?
Yep, mine looked different at the end. -
Something to the SEAD guys looking for those Syrian SA-17ās

Looked at PAKs but didnāt adjust because priorities were already set for areas covering Beirut and Damascus and Frag list was producing good missions.
-
Well, started new campaign with patch, hq turned off, ace settings.
Hmmm, just a few ā¦ā¦ enemy haha -

Just started a new one after the patch. Hopefully the extra OCA missions I see here will help ground a lot of those yellow tri-angles I have on my map!

likewise, I did go through and delete a bunch of ocaās right off the bat. I want to knock out some of those sam sites first.
Alot of deep ocaās right off the bat.now back to busy again, no flying till maybe friday. o well.

Alot of deep ocaās right off the bat.May be good advise here. Took a couple āsilk ridesā early on, however as expectedā¦by late morning of day 2, not much of an air threat to deal with as all of the air bases within 150 mi. of Israeli borders are inop due to the OCA onslaught.

Nice schnidrman.
Bases get repaired and at 30% (maybe even less) can become operational again, though with less activity than at 100%. The ATO will re task aircraft to strike repaired bases but there could be time windows when they are operational so aircraft will take off from them to sorties and interceptions. Because of that donāt be too relaxed during flights
In addition IIRC helicopters can take off from destroyed airbases. -
Well, finially snuck a flight in. Glad my chute worked ! Payback time.

Okay, finished first campaign after patch. This time things went a little different. Campaign went on to the last hour of Day 6 (Six Day War?! LOL) and ended in a stalemate (peace settlementā¦sigh, no medal this time). I had Damascus captured early on, but sometime during Day 3 my base got bombed after Iran re-supplied Syria and I lost a whole day of missions waiting for runway repairs. I had a tank battalion parked just outside of Beirut, but they would advance no further. It wasnāt until near the end of the campaign that I realized why. There was a Armored Battalion sitting in Beirut that was not showing on the map. When I finally tried to send my tanks in manually, they would get to the edge of the city, the Syrian forces in Beirut would pop up on my map and drive my tanks back to their position just outside of town. After this realization I started adding packages to Beirut to take out those pests in hopes that would allow my ground forces to march in and end this. Alas, I was too lateā¦there were around thirty vehicles that needed taken out and after reducing their numbers to about half, the campaign ended in a peace settlement. Now running another campaign to see if I can improve. Had no technical issues other than no missions generated against the ground forces in Beirut, but I can fix that myself by adding packages now that I know what to look for. One bright spotā¦was promoted to Lt. Col. during this campaign. :headb:

Good deal dude . Im still on day 1, no time to fly.
Im running on ace settings and set by hq off, curious to see what happens.
Congrats on lt. Col.
Only flew 3 missions last weekend, dark now though, just no time to fly. Damn it.
Glad it lasted 6 days, would love to see it worked so it would last like 20 or 30 days in the future. -
Enjoying it so far. Day 1 is a really challenge until I decided to let things run for a few hours before my first flight. The girl voicing the Hebrew ATC sounds great. I donāt understand a word so I just assume she is saying, āYes mister big, strapping fighter heroā¦PLEASE take any runway your heart desiresā¦the airport is yoursā¦as am I.ā
-
āMr Bigā ā¦. i know Israeli military women are sexy but dude, lol , got to focus on the mission first
-
I wanted to finish the campaign on IT-BMS_v096 version, as it will matched on day 2, Iāll switch to this version BMS_v099 IT-enhanced
Thanks to all the team at Benchmark Sims, excellent work ā¦.!
Thanks to Google Translate
