one of the secondary objectives is to get " 40 aircraft damage to get a commander" this is not true it only counts the hits on the big Russian bombers. any other aircraft don't contribute to your tally.

thanks for listening.

No, I think it's working alright. Here's what I think you are seeing.

At the beginning of the scenario, there are five Soviet aircraft in the air: Two Polikarpov I-16 fighters and one Tupolev SB 2 bomber, which count toward the damage requirements, and two Polikarpov R-5 which do NOT count because they are RECON planes. The trigger is set to look only for fighters and bombers so when you shoot down the Polikarpov R-5s, you get no credit:
Now, you may say "Whaaa? No fair!" because the three other planes only add up to 30 potential damage points (on medium difficulty) and 40 are needed to release the commander. However, there are three other triggers in the scenario so that a total of 3 more Soviet bombers and 2 additional fighters will be spawned on turns 6, 10, and 16:
So you should have plenty of opportunity to achieve this secondary objective and release the ace for your use.

awesome thanks for the reply.

one other glitch on mine. the captured 122mm soviet artillery graphic only shows as a barrel. there is a marker under it but the graphic does not show up all the way.

Please post a screenshot. (F9 in game)

see below I got the shot thanks

Hm, this is odd indeed. Does this persist over missions, redeployment and moving the arty piece? Restarting game and computer?
If yes, that model might be broken.
Since right now everybody is busy with getting the Panzerkrieg Beta on the road, this might take a while to be patched.

yes since capture it carries over to each scenario in the campaign. I know when I captured it I had the objective surrounded maybe I had a piece where it want to spawn? but I've played this campaign on all but the hardest level and its the same. just never had time to report it before. thanks

Well, this is a head-scratcher. First of all, it's not your game. I was able to reproduce this in Raate Road, where the captured gun spawns if a VP is taken in time:
I thought it might have something to do with taking a Russian gun and spawning it under a Finland flag but when I did that manually, placing a couple side-by-side with normal Soviet versions of the same gun, they looked and acted normally:
So we are just going to need to let the developers look at this one and resolve it when they can.

one last thing you cannot purchase any transport upgrade for it either. I don't know if that's intentional or a bug? thanks again.

Well, considering it's only a floating cannon, why would you need transport for it? Ha. Ha, ha. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

[Sorry. It's been a dull week at work. I'm sure this issue will be looked at and corrected in a future version. Thanks for pointing it out. Just don't point it in my direction! The gun barrel, that is, get it? Never mind. ]
