The "Bay of Hogs" is back. This is a conversion from the original campaign by SFC Tako released sometimes in 2016 or 2017 for DCS 1.5. I always liked this campaign even though it had some ridiculous difficulty in some missions. Story, sounds and missions are left untouched. Thus, it's not a remake or a remaster. You get the original feeling and the same awkward humor and the same fancy sound effects like in the original.
If you haven't played the original Bay of Hogs: Don't expect a simulation scenario but sort of an action movie. You're also not firing rockets or guns. You'll fly within parameters to make sure your team can take enemies out. Simply the way this campaign has always been; with all the sometimes frustrating moments. Some missions for sure are challenging.

Needed skills:
- proper landing of the Mi-24 (also in tight and sloppy areas)
- proper flight control of the Mi-24 (Hover, staying within parameters)
- reading the F10 map / awareness of your current location
The following things have been changed:
- You fly the Mi-24P instead of the Huey (maybe SFC Tako will also convert the 1.5 Huey version to 2.9 once though)
- notes/markers on F10 map for better instructions on the mission goals
- removed some trees on various missions to make landing possible and navigation easier
- removed fog on most missions
- changed daytime on some missions (mainly to avoid NVG landing on bridges and no zero visibility
- changed weather in some missions
- adjusted some triggers to make them work with the Hind and DCS 2.9
- F10 map, forced map only (work with the cockpit map within the Hind)
- changed mission pictures fr om Huey to Hind and added some wh ere needed
- changed some text messages if needed (due to different weather)
- added a few more text messages where needed to make things more clear
- reduced waiting/barrage time in mission 6
All credits for story and mission design go to SFC Tako.
