Mission 3, the scramble for the B-29s.

I've played it a few times as it is so short and lots of fun, but I noticed something strange: When I had shot down three bombers and landed, mission was not successful. When I downed only one or two and landed, mission was accomplished. I came back a litte bit battered all the time, of course.

For mission success you only have to return to base. I guess you received so much damage that the game counted you as destroyed. It's an old problem that already existed in Il-2 GB.

By the way, the B-29s are much too easy to bring down. I hope the devs get this fixed.

Yep, one salvo into one one if the engines or the wings usually was enough.

I've update the campaign. In game version 1.004 the F-84s in mission 10 were crashing into the ground much too often, so some adjustment were necessary.

[MiGCap]

Flew the missions 4, 5, 6 and 7 (some of them multiple times for fun) and got F-51s, B-29s and even a F-80. This campaign is great, especially with the events so close to the real history and that You provide the historical data! 👍👍👍 I am just reading "Fury from the North: The North Korean Air Force in the Korean War, 1950-1953" from Douglas C. Dildy and find all the missions in the book's text.

Very good work, @Juri_JS!

I used @FAW_Tromplamort's nice Yak-9P skin.

I finished the campaign today. Indeed - very good work and thanks a lot for this cute campaign!

Especially liked the mission where a lot of IL10s need to be covered from F51s and high up in the skies the Jets are batteling. What a pity that the Korea Engine doesn’t handle this amount of planes really well, but it‘s playable and fun!

Also learned today how nimble this ‚easy prey‘ C47 can be 🤔

Some missions I played more than once, because of having so much fun. It‘s somehow a IL2 GB late war campaign with Korea engine.

Thanks again 👍

That campaign is waiting for me, but I plan to start it soon.

In my opinion the campaign is still much too easy, although US planes have "High" and "Ace" skill level. AI has become a little more competent in update 1.004, but it's still not very good at dogfighting.The types of flight maneuvers are very limited, which makes the AI rather predictable.

[MiGCap]

Yep, according to the historical events in real life I should have ended most missions under the parachute. 😄

Pff .... stafing ground targets machine gunning with this Yak is nearly impossible, and it has no bombs or rockets alas. 

But Juri did us some great time save favors by skipping  towards the action areas. Wish list for GB?

added later:

 Mission 2 .... if you start your Yak a wee bit slow the others will run you over .....  Juri, do you mind if i fix it?

Also integrity check gives a lot of waypoint and no script errors, maybe some are caused by 1.004b needing an update?

I never really experienced this issue myself, probably my take-off is fast enough. I could increase the timer for the take-off command, but this would be a problem for people who use autopilot for take-off and means they have to wait. You can of course edit the missions for your own use.

You can ignore it, it won't cause any problems. It's mostly caused by the games template files that I used when I initially build the missions. It used waypoints to mark towns and without any object link each one creates a message when doing an integrity check. Not sure whats causing the no script errors, it's probably an issue with certain objects.

OK, guess i am slow on take off, avoid ground looping ..... we'll see what the updating brings, but your campaign is great anyway.

PS i just found the current Korea Full screen group has no empty airfield waypoints, and Yak  tailwheel locks are done by pulling the stick backwards.

A new version is available. The map template was updated and thanks to @pepper9881 the campaign is now also available in Russian.

Thank You very much! 👍🏻

Have I start new or are the successes from the initial version carried over? I already finished more than 50 per cent. 🤔

You can just continue the campaign, no need to restart.
