Mission problem, Doesn't end... Options

[Ree]

Hello,

I'm having a problem with Defender mission (Cold War Crisis). There's no way to finish it. I destroy the upcoming 4 tanks and the mission doesn't end because nobody comes to pick us up.

I think the problem is that the tanks destroy the APC on the hill. This happens before the tanks reach the layed mines so nothing can be done to prevent it.

Is there a way to complete the mission successfully without using cheats?

I have OFP GOTY edition with the latest patch (1.96).

Any help regarding the issue would be great.

Any mods? This kind of things are normal on FFURs for example. And Super AI os tuned on or off?

[Ree]

No, I don't have any mods installed. And yes, super AI is on.

[SaS TrooP]

So turn it of and everything should work with no problems.

80% it works, but sometimes with SuperAI off, they still shoot out the M113!

[Ree]

All right, I'll try your suggestion.

But why do I have to turn Super AI off? A game (mission) bug? Are there any other missions that cannot be completed with Super AI turned on?

The only explanation I can think of is that the original game version the campaign was created for didn't have Super AI available. Otherwise it's just a HUGE mission design flaw.

Super AI sucks, cause normal conscript fight like best SAS operators. Its totally unrealistic. The best is to play on normal AI, but on higher level (expert)

Also, I recommend playing the Cold War Crisis campaign in OFP 1.46 or earlier, rather than in Resistance. The later versions of the game are too different and seem to break some of the scripting in the old campaign.
