OP Flashpoint combined arms series |SP|

[redarmy 420]

First off, the title Flashpoint is no relation,its more of a fixed title in the series because with names,im very unoriginal and i wanted to make a mission template thats at the root of what Arma is...a combined Arms sandbox. And the root of Arma was OP FLASHPOINT. Confused yet? good keep reading...

 

This is the first time in 5000 hours in the editor iv made a series(that will continue with new missions very often as my template which took years to polish is solid) that im totally happy with.

The first 3 scenarios are up,one for each terrain,Altis,Tanoa and Livonia :

So to sum up:

 

OP FLASHPOINT REUNION is a combined arms(SP for now until further tweaked for balance) scenario that is made with the idea that the player can take any role practically imaginable and contribute to his sides mission objectives.

The player is a "cog in the wheel",or a High commander issuing orders to all elements of the main platoon. Its also possible to freely switch between both modes via radio.

This mission is very much random and dynamic yet with the upmost in balance and performance taken into account. (Feel free to ask in the comments for details if interested,il happily delve deeper)

The premise is simple: An opfor force controls 3 regions and NATO must sieze and secure each one by one. The mission contains around a grand total of (wait read the part after) 850 units including infantry,ground vehicles and Air. Quick reaction forces,ariel reinforcements and AI responsive units that will track down known threats within the current Area of operation. As the scenario develops,more units / reinforcements are introduced,so there will never be a mass amount of units at one time. Performance is KING!

The player may take on the role of squad leader, vehicle crew,UAV operator(spotting threats actually has an impact and friendlies will respond) logistics(slingload and airiel reinforcement delivery), AH support roles,artilleriest,and more,or simply sit back and command.

VA is available from any staging tent.As soon as your geared up,proceed with platoon to form up pos and await further tasking.

The inspiration for the scenario is taken from Shack tactical style gameplay/platoon structure and gameplay ends up alot like using AI mods like ALIVE,HETMAN,GAIA and so on,inspiration and ideas very much taken from such amazing mods,but this isnt a mission template,this is a proper balanced,structure and ready to go scenario,its a template for myself to easily create more in short order.

Thoughthere is a tasking system,alot of "what you can do" is up to your best judgements..for example,recon in a pos not tasked to you,airlift out injured and deliver them to a medic point/merge groups point and so on...

 

 

Mission start: First,head to a tent at base via the map which corrosponds to the role you want to take,wait half a minute for side chat to confirm you are in that role,via zeus recruit infantry or pilots/crew that are located at base,edit your vehicle if crew etc,and set them to combat stance to remove the animations,then move out. Use the "mission start/load up" and form up radio trigger after platoon is embarked and ready.
Scenario doesnt rely on 3rd party mods or scripts with CBA the exception. Performance should be good throughout.
