few technical problems this time, but still fun.

when we aproached the building i had some which slowed me down in my landing progress as I didn't want to crash a full chopper. I turned the right side of the chopper towards the building to give the guys on the skids a shot at an anemy on the building but caught a bullet. I jammed the collective up and activated auto hover so they were able to jump and afterwards miserably failed my emergency landing attempt.

this mission didn't like me xD
on landing at the LZ at the first attempt i noticed my pedals weren't working. so after dropping off the ground team I landed a bit further away and tried remapping and unplugging the pedals, didn't work. we were called for firesupport and managed to get some fire on the enemy FOB. afterwards i tried to land again and failed to notice that the gear indicator in the hud was missing and also broke the mainrotor on a building i had not quite cleared (was too worried that my pedals had broken down probably). Varanon tried soem magic, but due to the retracted gear it was no use. restarted arma and noticed that the programm (antmicro) i use to map radio keys to my joystick was for some reason giving constant input for the pedals, restarted it and we were good to go...Â
Lesson from second attempt, dont trust bullet proof glass. I was one shotted whe I though I could sneak us up on that guard tower to engage at close range.
third try went much better, i missjudged how hard i needed to brake and landed a bit slower than I had planed. but this time fire support on the FOB went like a charm (much easier with working peal input) even though ammo in the miniguns is quite limited. we were almost RTB when Outlawz suggested we pick up the ground team before we go RTB as it would be much faster to RTB with them and then dropp them off instead of coming back all the way south to get them.
we picked them up and deployed them on Mike26 which was when the mission ended quite abbrubtly.
