I went on a couple of tarcap missions today and upon return got the message that my group did not spend enough time over the target-mission failed....even tho we shot down four mig-21's near the target area..so my question: do i have to fly all the target waypoints to get credit? If i see a mig within 20-40 miles of the target area on the same general bearing i am flying to the area, i instruct the group to go after them....who gives a ra about time vs eliminating a threat...so if i played by the rules, how long do i have to piddle before i can go get the threat? The tarcaps were flown in the tornado ids if that matters...ist Balkan Campaign....thanks

Can you not change the time to stay at each waypoint before you go?

Flew the tarcaps again and put on the autopilot...it went from target point to target pont several times about 5-10 minutes before heading for the return waypopint....the mission showed as being successful this way......also engaged anything within 20 miles of the areas and vectored to any calls AWACS gave in the area.....
