Description
Our sovereign skies are under attack by unknown force using UCAVs ! Your task is to jump into your jet and defeat the adversaries!

Enemy UCAVs (Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicles) have been detected aproaching Altis. Your job as a fighter pilot and defender of Altis is to take out every single one of them.

Because of enemy superior numbers this mission is less about straight dogfighting enemy and more about clever maneuvering with help of ground based radars and ground controllers which you can call at any time for intercept course and distance to targets.

At any time you can reload and repair your aircraft on any airfield. If you are to be shot down you can eject and if you survive you can return to base by use of dedicated support option.
You also have ability to perform auto take offs if you driving around airfield to runway every time is not your thing.




NO MODS OR DLCS REQUIRED TO PLAY.
OWNERSHIP OF JET DLC IS OPTIONAL FOR SOME MISSION FEATURES.

This mission has two distinct difficulty modes based upon whether or not players use A-149 Gryphon from Jet DLC.

- No Jet DLC mode makes drones fly slower appear on radar through data link sooner and their short distance missiles slightly weaker.

- in Jet DLC mode drones can go much faster, have more and better missiles and are harder for radars to pick up.

PLEASE NOTE that it takes only one player to permanently change mission to Jet DLC mode at any point during the mission.

Enemy spawn point and flight paths are randomized to make every playthrough slightly different than the last one.




COOP mode is available for up to 6 players.

This scenario takes between 15 - 20 minutes to complete in SP.
Length of the scenarios in COOP can be customized.



If you fancy yourself having my custom aircraft paint schemes in your mission they are available as BlackFox's Aircraft Texture Pack.

First of all thanks and on the subject of that fine dark skinned gentleman in a dark blue shirt (i hope we are thinking on the same man) he is in fact in many of my mission. Not all but many 2035 missions have him hidden somewhere so you may see him few more times in the future. :>

heyo.

I have only recently started playing around with scenarios on arma. Up until now it was a game i'd jump in with friends, and it peaked my interest on jets among other stuff.

Your scenarios are genuinely fantastic! Played a few of them, and they have a fantastic style. Despite not expecting humor, the memes are great too.

The only reason I'm commenting on this mission specifically is because I've seen the man. I found him.

That's what made me comment, the attention to detail is great. I thought it was just a funny but I was in awe when I saw he was real.

so many words to say; great mission(s).

AlphaRoughneck I will put it that way. :D
This mission was released on workshop almost 1 year ago and you are first person ever to mention anything even remotely resembling your problems and did run it with mods.

Because of that I can with some level of certainty tell you that it's most probable that it's something on your side.

I can't use the AMRAAMs without the missile hitting my plane and knocking me out, idk why they're doing that unless it has to do with a mod i have

More than enjoying it, this is one of my absolute favourite missions, great opportunity to try out custom layouts with AA missiles!!!

I've got 24 kills, so it def is 24 or more, possibly 24 as each wave has 4 groups of 3 drones so yeah, 24 total, still, fun ^^
