[size=2em]Recommendations/Known Issues:[/size]
1-After 1.63 update for ArmA 2/OA/CO on steam, some bugs appeared in vanilla version and also many mods affected while their authors didn't fix them later, so I recommend you switch to 1.62 version by right click on Arma 2 OA/properties/BETAS/1.62 on steam. Also I created this mission on 1.62 version, so maybe you receive error(s) if launch this mission on 1.63 version, and if you do, just report it here so I'll try to compatible it for 1.63 version too if possible.

2-This mission may work on ArmA 2 standalone version too, if mentioned mods are compatible with it.

3-Because of mod's bug, crosshair is disappeared while Iranian Mod is launched, so as helicopter pilot, you have no any crosshair on both 1rd and 3rd person, so you may find it hard to hit enemies using rockets. I recommend you have eyes on above edge of your co-pilot's helmet, that's where exactly your rockets are aimed, and it's not hard as it seems!
