dalber24 157 Posted May 29 Thanks, I'm going to try it, I like the idea of the optional FDF, so I can also play it with FDF, it's one of the mods that I really like.👍 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Atlas01Actual 1 Posted September 3 I kind of could not believe it when I saw this was released in 2024. Have you played Hetman war stories in arma 3? Could you please compare with your mission? Looking for motivation to set up and mod arma 2 again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could you please compare with your mission? Looking for motivation to set up and mod arma 2 again Yes I have played Rydygier's mission "HETMAN: War Stories" for Arma 3. Creating RITZ missions was a little summer project of mine and a dive into SQF coding and mission making in ARMA. There are missions for multiple maps with multiple factions in two types: "Battle Generator" and "Campaign mode". The missions do not require the game to be modded, they can be played vanilla. Battle generator takes place on a random location on the map with different size and composition of units for either faction. This is very similar to Hetman war stories, except the victory condition when mission ends is different. Victory condition is having the area captured for certain time period. Also there are no settings that can be changed at the start of the mission, unlike from Hetman war stories. The bottom line is that you are, very much like in Hetman war stories, just a cog in the machine and the success or demise of you and your squadmates relies on your resourcefulness. Campaign has some similarities to battle generator except the victory condition is capturing the enemy held area. Also High Command mode is available to player, so player can act in the boots of artificial commander. Campaign mode carries on after capture of the area to the next map section. There is a little bit of story at the briefings of missions and varying scenarios presented as the campaign proceeds. So study what you have, observe the terrain and recruit additional units or take command when needed to succeed to the next phase. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Atlas01Actual 1 Posted September 4 So I ended up trying it and I enjoyed it. I played the BAF one and got the insurgent side 3 times out of three. Mostly unwinable as the insugents on Takistan, especially when the British push with 5+ Warrior IFVs... However I can see this as realistic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did try to balance the BAF campaign with this in mind, however don't remember if I did so for the battle generator... I'll sneak in an patch for the battle generator once I get back from lecture, also may I as how was the performance? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was hoping for more performance than in A3 and I'm not quite sure about the results. Felt similar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
