Overview

Another small nation has fallen to enemy forces, and it is up to you to take it back. Embark with your teammates on a persistent campaign that will span several weeks of real time to liberate all the major cities of the island.

• Experience a massive CTI campaign with numerous settlements, cities, factories, ammo dumps, ambushes, static defenses, airfields and more, across the entire island,
• Use the older [GREUH] logistics where taking sectors increases your supplies automatically,
• Intelligence is never 100%, some sectors will not show up on the map until captured,
• Cooperate with other players, with a commander role and recruit-able AI troops to fill the gaps,
• Build your customized unit with troops and vehicles using available supplies,
• Build the FOB of your dreams with an in-game "what you see is what you get" system,
• Fight aggressive and cunning hostile forces who react and adapt to your actions,
• Watch the Enemy Fire Teams and Squads react to your fire and counter it tactically,
• Come under fire from sporadic and sometimes not so sporadic deadly mortar fire, static mg's and more,
• Learn that every window is a threat thanks to the enhanced custom urban combat AI,
• Experience house to house fighting to clear out built up areas,
• Accomplish meaningful secondary objectives that will benefit your progression,
• Never lose your progress with the built-in server-side save system.

 

Our Presets and missions are crafted with care and tested to make sure you won't encounter problems. We spend a lot of time researching the presets and custom missions we make to be as authentic as ARMA and the addons we may use allows us.

OOooooh this looks good.  Will obviously have to wait until the 23rd.

reserved for now for future use.

 

 

 

 

[sowens 71]

LYTHIUM will be the first map release with v1.0 and will include default ARMA 3 BLUFOR/OPFOR. v1.0 will mainly focus on 3rd Commando Brigade, British Armed Forces. Their counterpart on OpFOR will feature Iranian units or Soviet/Russian Paratrooper (VDV) units, reinforced.

Because [WarFighter] Liberation is looking to enhance the flavor of the mission with realism, some addons will be required to use our mission(s). The following is the list of addon's required for [WarFighter] Liberation to work:

 

 

 

Some addons require us to include items directly on the map itself, making them required. There are other addon's we suggest because they add realism, enhance sound and graphics and much more. The follow is a list of recommended addon's that are not required for [WarFighter] Liberation to work:

 

 

 

 

Hmm. Nice list of required mods  Might want to keep it as light as possible still as some players enjoy mixing in their own mods.

Perhaps if you have to you can add mission parameters to insert huge mods such as RHS and CUP units without making it mandatory.

[sowens 71]

We are working on the list as we build out the additions to Liberation. I think we have it down to two required mods which is CBA_A3 and another that adds items Arma 3 is sorely lacking in. However, there might be more depending on what we can create and what we can leverage that is already out in the community with a permissive license. Our license is not as permissive as it should be so we are trying to make everything parameter driven when we can so people have options straight out of the box.

I'd love to see this integrated into the mission..I use it in all the missions I edit because I don't fly at all..I crash..it allows the loading and transport of a Huron Module on the back of a Hemmt Mover..really handy for getting the FOB into areas the Helo can't reach..especially on Tanoa...(not a Mod but a script)

Really cool to see more enhancements to this.

You can already move a FOB via truck or helicopter in Liberation. The Huron Modules are a different story =).

Thats true I forgot about the FOB Truck..I always take that out when I edit them and only use the Huron Container. Gives it more of a realistic feeling and requires just a little more planning to use and set up other than just driving away in a truck.

[Warfighter] Liberazione  -  Continua Miglioramenti realistica del già grande [GREUH] Liberazione.

 

Stiamo facendo un gioco finale attraverso questo fine settimana, correzioni di bug e la prossima settimana dovremmo rilasciare nei tempi previsti. Grazie a tutti coloro che ha aiutato con il codice, gli script, test e altro ancora. Siamo in attesa di un aggiornamento su siti Sams / AAA in modo che potrebbe non rendere questa settimana. Si sta lavorando, ma ci sono solo un paio di bug che devono lavorato con siti sam.

 

Novità della versione attuale: 0.95 BETA

• Fixed: AI non poter ruotare e impegnare mentre strongpointing un edificio. Gli edifici sono ancora una volta un luogo mortale.

Which maps ?

[sowens 71]

Altis will be the first release. We will do other maps pretty quickly.

[sowens 71]

We are going to go ahead and add a lot more to this release, change the version to 1.0 to avoid confusion with the other two versions of liberation, and test the hell out of the mission. Most of us are all active duty or veterans from all four services (puddle pirates not included) so we are really looking to ramp up authenticity. The release should happen by July 8th. That is an ETA, it might be done sooner or later than that date.

 

You can always check out changelog to see what we are working on at this moment. If you see a , that means we have fully implemented it AND fully tested it. To the best of our knowledge, it is a working addition, fix or adaptation to [WarFighter] Liberation. If it doesn't have the icon, it means it is working to some degree, but we are still testing or reworking it to make it better, faster, etc.

[sowens 71]

LYTHIUM will be the next map we introduce in v1.0. We will introduce the Spanish military forces from FFAA mod as a preset to go along with it as a selection in the parameters sometime after v1.0 drops.

Eventually.  We would have to test it and see if reinforcements get stuck on the bridges still.

 

We talked about it and Tanoa is not our favorite map, except when we play UnSung. We will probably add UnSung to Tanoa, but probably none of our other presets. There are a lot of really great maps out there we would rather spend time on trying to make an incredible experience for ourselves and those who choose to try our flavor of Liberation.

The map is to small until we make logistics more realistic. You might have problems with ammunition because of the lack of military bases. Once we figure out how to make logistics work we will revisit.

[sowens 71]

Testing and working on the missions is still going well. We have a new adviser that is going to help with logistics. Things are looking good from our end! One of our holdups is the deploying of Static Weapons. While it works fine, we are trying to fine tune how and where they are placed based on sector type(s). It's a lot more work than we thought.

 

We are also looking for a modeler who would like to work on the project. We are looking to have a working RORO ship built.
