You get shot at when you land with the boat at the beach.

Just so you know :)

[meldorqc 1]

If you read the briefing execution it says to watch out for sentinels.

you can stop at the rock to the right just before the beach to shoot those sentinels before landing.

Hey meldorqc,

i have tryed your mission and was quite funny. Just 3 things ... first maybe you add granedes and smoke to the player the second is that i have accomplished the Pilot kill task even when i never was near his quarter and at least i dont get it with the clock. In the briefing you wrote somthing about 4:45 he leaves his quarter and in the misssion beginns at 7:50. Maybe a typo ?

I will add 3 Stars on Armaholic maybe you can also rate my mission CO_04_Sweep there ;) thx in advance :p

[meldorqc 1]

Which version have you tried ROT, Solo ?

You can find grenade and smoke grenade in ifrit trucks around the base

I will make sure to change the time in the solo version. You should try the coop version with your friends, I made way more testing on that version then the solo one. The timer might be too long on the pilot departure making it to easy to kill in the Solo version.

Can you also make a no-revive version?

[meldorqc 1]

Sure can Phantom, will also change the location of the pilot headquarter so that he can't be sniped from the mountain top right side, I will have it by tomorrow.

[R0T 1]

Jep was the solo one - I will test the coop mission in the coming days ;)

Hello meldorqc

I tested your last mission and the helicopter will crash before reaching its position drop diver.

This is the first waypoint which is not high enough (10m)

To 20m, everything is ok !!

Bye et thank for our mission!

[meldorqc 1]

I tested your last mission and the helicopter will crash before reaching its position drop diver.

Alright it's back to 20M,

Both versions has been updated this morning. The timer for the pilot departure on the solo version might be to short.

Keep the feedback coming :)

thanks

testing the solo one on the dev build, whenever you get shot there is a huge lag spike lasting a couple seconds. other sp missions on dev don't do this.

[meldorqc 1]

I will have a new version of both solo and coop mission soon, found a small bug concerning the pilot assassination and also will try to reduce the number of units in the airfield so that it's less laggy.

Two of us (both newbies) tried the co-op mission today. Despite the fog, the AI spotted the boat before we ever got to the landing point. And even on land, they seemed to have no problem spotting us, even crawling in the grass, even in heavy fog, while we couldn't see them at all.

But the biggest problem was that the pilot escaped before we were anywhere close. I don't see how we could have gotten there in time, even if there hadn't been any enemies and we'd run all the way. Frankly, I don't have much interest in trying it again, because we failed the mission when it had barely begun, it seemed. I mean, it wasn't even close enough to encourage another try.

Of course, as I say, we were both newbies. And I don't, myself, tend to like missions with time limits. So it's probably not my kind of mission in the first place. I hate to sound so negative. Four skilled players would certainly have done better than the two of us, and they would have more positive comments, I'm sure.

Thanks.

My project is on hold for now.. will be back at it after summer.

I have a problem; marksman start with no ammo. It's only my problem?

I remember hearing about that problem, caused by one of the updates to Arma 3 alpha. Unfortunately, this mission isn't being updated right now, so that probably won't get fixed (until fall?).
