Campaigns
DCS: F/A-18C & DCS: F-14 Iron Tide Campaign by Sandman Simulations
All missions: Following changes are made for ground war calculation
AI CAP flights over the front line have a significant direct effect on ground war progression if the enemy has active helicopter bases.
If the enemy has no active helicopter bases, AI CAP flights over the front line have no direct effect on the ground war. However, CAP flights can still be used to prevent enemy bombers from reaching the front line.
Enemy bombers reaching the front line will have a significant direct effect on ground war progression.
It is possible to complete the campaign even if some enemy strategic targets remain operational.
The campaign documentation has been updated to reflect the above changes.
