kroky 1 Posted February 19, 2012 Quite hard this mission if you play it in singleplayer. I had to be very inventive to get the missio accomplished. 1. I killed all troops in Baqerabad and the fuel station and picked up the Landrover with the M2. 2. Then I surprised the reinforcements at the satelite base near the main complex, shooting from hills and with the Landrover. 3. Then got contatct with the main forces from surrounding hills drawing them out of the complex. 4. Then setting up a lot of fires in the base (using M203 and cars, with JTD Fire&Smoke) 5. Then advancing very cautiously to the base and killing the rest of the guards one by one which is still hard. (Using ACE, ASR_AI, ASR, JTD, JSRS) Some questions: 1. There are some options to choose from AIS or ACE wounds in the coop version but in in SP of course there aren't. Doesn't it collide with eachother? I pose this question because of script lag I experienced with the latest ACE version. 2. How is the mission supposed to be accomplished, without doing all the tactics I used. How did you image to be it carried out? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sxp2high 22 Posted February 29, 2012 Hi, thanks for the feedback... it's a pretty tough mission indeed. 1. There are some options to choose from AIS or ACE wounds in the coop version but in in SP of course there aren't. Doesn't it collide with eachother? Nope, no problem with that. In SP it automatically uses the default AIS by Bohemia. While in MP you can choose between ACE Wounds and Bon AIS (MP optimized version of AIS). It's not possible they collide anyhow. 2. How is the mission supposed to be accomplished, without doing all the tactics I used. How did you image to be it carried out? Well, we always did a direct frontal approach. We took it slow, and let the enemy come to us. I think this is pretty important in this mission, because you are extremely outnumbered. When being outnumbered this is always my tactic of choice anyway. "Keep your head down, keep distance, and let them come to you." The most important asset (at the beginning) is the marksman. He can take out A LOT of enemies from the "Hangtime" position. (Don't forget to measure the distance and adjust your M110) Since you have no wind measuring device in this mission, you have to estimate the wind. Just watch the grass movement and guess. I got pretty good at that because of this mission... ;) So in SP, I switched to marksman at the beginning and took out as much as possible from point "Hangtime", using the M110. The Automatic Rifleman a bit further down the hill (or on top of the hill as well), providing cover for both flanks. The rest of the team down the hill (near the wrecks and the bunker) firing on the entrance and the flanks. The enemy really likes to flank you up the hill, from both sides, in this mission. It's important that one or two guys stay a bit behind and keep an eye on both flanks and keep the guys up front posted. In SP, I also saved a lot... :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rosentorf 12 Posted March 2, 2012 Hi,So in SP, I switched to marksman at the beginning and took out as much as possible from point "Hangtime", using the M110. I am not able to switch to my team mates. I downloaded the singleplayer version. I use the jsrs sound mod, cba, and of course the Iranian Forces Mod and Qom-Province-Island. To play singleplayer I just saved the pbo from the "singleplayer"-link to my Mission-folder in the arma2 installation folder. or do I have to host a multiplayer mission? Thanks Rosentorf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sxp2high 22 Posted March 2, 2012 With ACE, you can access the gear of others. So what I meant by "switching" was, that I exchanged weapons with the marksman. :) But you're right, switching units was not possible... I found the reason for that and fixed it. I also added a overview picture and description for the SP version. Here is the new version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
