Second mission south air support

[zitadelle]

OK guys I have to ask this. So many players are discussing differences in the way of air support in the second mission south where you have to build the two bridges at the beginning and to rescue your Panther tanks. When I played the mission (without patch at this time, difficult level normal), I had sufficient air support especially by Henschel B129 ground attack planes. They were very helpful by penetrating the strong Russian artillery positions to build these pontoon bridges. So many players are now reporting they haven’t got those Henschel just Fighters and recon planes nothing to attack. It´s hard to get over the river with no air support. And especially strange it is that when they restart the mission then sometimes they have those Henschel ground attack planes. Is there a special trigger for air support or a script controlling the kind of planes you have for this mission ?

Hi Zit,

In this map the German air support (Me 110's not Hs 129's) are scripted to arrive some 5 minutes after the German Recce plane arrives. However, they are scripted to represent them doing several quick ground attack sorties and then bugging out to re-arm/refuel. Thus, they will not be available all the time.

This means they will be there no way that they could not appear ?? And does it mean i have to first use the recon plan before i will get the ground attack planes ?
Sorry for asking it but i want to be 100% sure.

Thanks Adrian

Yes, you must use the Recce plane otherwise your fighters or ground support planes will not arrive.
