Mission "Distant thunder" doesn't end even after capturing the radar and deploying the VCM on the middle island. I don't know what to do... Reloading the savegame (even after shutting down the game) doesn't help.

    I'm having the same issue.  On my end, I killed the allied MCV before it loaded into the transport as it glitched out trying to get in.  Then I captured the radar tower, then I deployed my second MCV on the center island.

    I'm wondering if not letting the allied MCV deploy on the center island was what caused it.

    I've killed the MCV if I remember correctly, and did the same as you (capture, then deploy the MCV on the second island)

    I think the allied MCV has to deploy on the island to get it work...

    I hope they will get a way to validate the mission for those who were able to settle a base on the second island without killing any building on it.

    @dasguise I played it again. This time I let the allied MCV take the center island. I then waited until my own MCV was on the center island and deployed before crushing the allies. Mission completed.

    You mean we're acting too fast to take control of the first base? :P Imho it's still a bug.

    We sure are. The more I think about this, the more I think I had this exact same problem in the original game lol...

    Saving and reloading allowed the MCV to load for me.

    It didn't work for me. I tried with one unit and the MCV keeps spinning on and never tries to get into the transport.

    It's the third time I restart the mission, so I'm being a little bit pissed off 🙂

    I agree there is some kind of strategy to use but the AI clearly fails to do its job. So maybe it should be taken into real consideration and be fixed 🙂

    EDIT: after a fifth retry the MCV was able to get in transport by himself. So it clearly means there is no need of any tricks. However it would be nice to improve pathfinding to avoid this in the future, we seem to be a lot struggling
