UPDATE 11TH AUGUST 2024
Syria Campaign Map
Added CH-47F (Chinhook)
I now have a better understanding of how standard DCS troop transport works so have introduced the following
Troops can be transported by Huey or Hook.
Troops are provided in Sections of 6 (intended for the Huey) and Platoons of 24 (intended for the Hook)
As at this release there are a finite number of troops available. 4 x Sections of 6 and 4 x Platoons of 24. Units can not be spawned in repeatedly. Once these units are used or killed. That is it for this mission session. (I am looking to add more units based on territory capture)
Each helicopter is assigned a unit to pick-up at spawn in. For example - "Mission Update - Pilot of Huey-1 you have been assigned 82nd Airborne Section-1"
You can now however load more than 1 unit (if your capacity allows) should you wish.
Troops can only be picked up and dropped off at specific points on the map. I have created Green zones for pick-up and Orange zones for deployment.
The two zones are linked via way-points for the troops. For example troops picked up at the green zone in Hatay can only be deployed to the Orange zone at Harim. Once deployed they will follow their own way-points to achieve their objective. They will head for Harim town.
If you deploy your troops anywhere else they will make their way to what should have been their next way-point. You can not pick-up and drop off ad-hoc like we could with DML
Once they have achieved their objective they will proceed to a Green zone ready for extraction.
There may be more than 1 group of troops waiting for extraction at the Green zone. So for example if you are in a Hook and there are 3x6 Sections waiting, you could pick them all up in one go if no one else is playing that role.
