No worries !
Maybe just add an all caps STAY VERY CLOSE in the message of the objective just before the one that actually checks it ?

How far away were you? I have not shot with any ammunition that reaches 20km+
Given that you need to be less than 5000 meters high in the air at all times to complete the mission it seems like an impossible feat to me..

But yeah, I'll probably add an objective called "Fly to North Ridge to Recon" or something. I need some time tho, I'm quite busy atm sorry...

I did complete it but how can we *not* "kinda missed the point of the objective" when we don't know about it in advance ?

Hi @ZbuffeR, the stay close objective is totally doable.
I even increased the range of completion by 5000 meters to around 20k. If you're that far away you kinda missed the point of the objective.

Nice mission, but indeed the "stay close" objective is quite punishing.
Maybe add first a waypoint to reach, THEN activate the "stay close" to it ? Or at least mention it beforehand.

I was happily droping GPS bombs and insta failed because of this.

see your guns go "pew pew" bout my guns go "𝕓𝕣𝕣𝕣𝕣𝕣𝕣𝕣𝕣𝕣𝕣𝕣𝕣𝕣𝕣𝕣𝕣𝕣𝕣𝕣𝕣𝕣𝕣𝕣𝕣𝕣𝕣"

Hi, V! The waypoint is showing you where North Ridge is. I have extended the range of Stay In The Area to past the anti-tank units now, so it shouldn't be a problem anymore. The AGM 65 is dependent on your height above the target. :)

Are you supposed to actually go to the objective marker location? Because I feel you need to get pretty close for the AG missiles to actually reach the target. I can't find any info online about the actual range of the missiles, but it seems less than 6km.

I don't really know what you guys were strugglig with.. I tried it multiple times.

So I've updated the map now. Be sure you have the updated version. Unsub to the map and sub back.. Sometimes it doesn't give you the right version.

You now have 20 km to play with. Should be plenty enough. Stay closer to your friends. I kinda wanted to punish you guys more for treading into enemy territory, but in the vteditor I can't adjust the range on some of the enemy units so it's a bit poo poo at the moment.
Just try to imagine that you can't go far into enemy territory. I tend to just stay above the canyon between friendly and enemy until I get the Shoot notify...

If I get hands on some editing software I can make a short walkthrough video eventually. Thanks for playing the map y'all!

Yep same problem as the others. It's a cool idea and I really like the long flights to objectives but I've lost count of how many times I've attempted it due to these bugs which has made it a frustrating mission. The artillery seem randomly immune to AGM missiles, always requiring me to get up close and kill at least the first one with the cannon but no matter what I do I still get the "Stay in the area" objective failed. I tried killing the AA and the first artillery and then firing off all my remaining AGMs at the last artillery before burning hard back towards the objective marker but no dice. Looking forward to seeing this mission evolve. Thanks for making content!!

Same problem as Skully
as soon as the three objectives are destroyed, the mission fails at the "stay in the area" objective

@Skully - You're not supposed to advance forward until the objective completes.

You're only supposed to take out the 3 artillery units on the other side of the valley. From there your friendly tanks will take out the bunkers and anti-air units west of them. I might not have made it clear enough, but the idea is that you're assisting, not soloing. The Stay in the Area objective radius is like 15 km. I'll take a look but it was fine when I was play testing :)

The mission failed at the "stay in the area" objective.
At that moment I was flying over the remainders of the anti-tank units on the north end.
