The_Replicator 0 Posted February 27, 2003 Hi I have 1.90 and have noticed some things have changed in the US campaign on first mission i had to retry several times because bravo's squad blackhawk crashed in to the forest montignac must fall : impossible to take the village - retreat at each try bravo and charlie squads get chopped up no matter how many soldiers i beat on the west side of the town... the next mission in a convoy is so hard and lasts years running trough the island against T72s and all in morton Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

grey 0 Posted March 2, 2003 probably because 1.75+ viewdistance changes mean that AI tanks also see much further and therefore are more effective (suma confirmed that the ai is tweaked with viewdistance) therefore any tanks (eg t72s and bmps) would be killing the other squads much more easily compared to when u played it in the past. try reducing the viewdistance back to pre-resistance levels or even less?

When doing this I noticed that the Blackhawks (both of them I think) have a "this setDammage 1" command in their last waypoints, so that when they reach them they explode. I have no idea why it is done that way, to save my pc (it's a bit slow) I just changed the command to deleteVehicle this, and I have no idea why it wasn't done this way to begin with.

Harnu 0 Posted March 2, 2003 Replicator, you can't not retreat from Everon It's part of the plot. After you take Montginac and that message comes up saying that you have to retreat from the island. Then tells you to go straight through Provins to Morton. You engage troops at Provins. You're truck gets destroyed. You call for evac but a Hind comes and kills the blackhawk that was for you. Then you fall back into the forest and get to the next mission. So basically, you can take Montignac, you can take provins, but you have to retreat cause you have no evac and a Hind comes. In the next mission all your men are dead and you have to get to morton. I wont spoil it for you so I'll stop there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
