lexx 1363 Posted November 21, 2013 Hi Folks! As all good things are three, here comes my third ArmA3 mission. Though, in this case, it is actually the very first ArmA3 mission that I’ve worked on. I started the day the game moved from Alpha to Beta status. What kept me from releasing it so far? Well, I wanted to have it to be a “perfect†release, with voice over and all that fuzz. By now I realized, that it is quite hard to find proper voice actors, though. As my other two missions were released without additional voice over just fine, I decided not to wait any longer.. . Description: In Operation Demeter, you are taking over the role of pilot Ltn. Gregory Parker in his AH-99 Blackfoot. Your co-pilot and gunner is Sgt. Sarah Foster. The mission objective is to infiltrate Stratis island and gather intel, without being detected by enemy forces. This is a *stealth* mission (as much as one can be stealthy with a helicopter). No additional addons are required for this mission. Situation: Stratis is still occupied by CSAT forces. They are estimated at 60% strength and their morale is good. We know there are light combat vehicles all over the island, as well as heavy attack helicopters at the Stratis Air Base. Air patrols are very likely. Detection by the enemy will put the whole island on high alert. You are on your own. We can’t risk being detected.

mathias_eichinger 64 Posted August 5, 2014 I cannot complete the mission, because I am immediately detected at mission start, even before I am handed over the controls. Is this intentional or a bug? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Variable 322 Posted August 9, 2016 That was THE BEST Comanche mission I ever played. You are the first one who truly based a mission on the true qualities on this Reconnaissance Attack Helicopter and I salute you for that. It was the first time I was required to keep my missile bay closed, fly low, plan my approach according to the contour and the enemy radar coverage, slip in and slip out undetected. Good job! And a big thank you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lexx 1363 Posted August 9, 2016 Heh, funny. Just two weeks ago I thought about taking down the mission, because I didn't really felt happy with it anymore. Also if I remember right, the only feedback I ever really got for it was "it is too hard". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wiki 1558 Posted August 9, 2016 Nice mission. I didn't destroy the tucks, but I bet that if I do, I'm not longer "undetected" ^^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lexx 1363 Posted August 9, 2016 Yeah, it's more a bonus task. Destroying them will 100% trigger island wide alert, which results in AA getting active, enemy helicopters starting, etc. It's not impossible to fight through, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Variable 322 Posted August 9, 2016 Lexx, is it true that the optional task appear only if you get detected? That's how it was for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wiki 1558 Posted August 9, 2016 Nope, I had the optionnal task but was still undetected. If you go for it however, you will be detected as you open fire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lexx 1363 Posted August 10, 2016 Maybe I should adjust the task text a little bit, to make it more clear. This was one of the first missions for A3 that I've ever worked on / released, so I did many things not so well, imo. :> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Variable 322 Posted August 10, 2016 If this mission is your definition of "not so well" I want to see the ones you define as good :D Lexx, what triggers the optional task? I completed the mission without getting it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I completed the mission without getting it. Yeah, it was a good one. I'm also curious to see a mission you consider as a good one then :) @Variable For me, I didn't do anything. At some point, I got the dialog "supply trucks in sight". I bet your gunner must spot them to have that task. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lexx 1363 Posted August 11, 2016 I am not 100% sure anymore, but I think the task gets triggered if you are somewhere in the center of the island. It doesn't matter if your pilot spotted them or not. Though, it probably would make a bit more sense to trigger it if the player activates the full alarm. At least then you have a real reason to go all out, guns blazing.

Variable 322 Posted August 11, 2016 I tried it again and got the optional task of destroying the trucks. I actually managed to destroy the first one without getting detected. I stayed to its back and fired my chin cannon from range. While engaging the second, I got detected. I finished the 2nd off, and bugged out. Great fun.
