MattM 0 Posted March 10, 2002 Hi, When I start the Sniper Team mission, my fellow 2 snipers won't follow me! I can't find anyway of instructing them to either. Please help! Matt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
timmy 0 Posted March 10, 2002 You can tell them to return t formation with the command keys, i think its 1,1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aculaud 0 Posted March 10, 2002 thats "F1 - 1 - 1". that should do it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IceFire 0 Posted March 10, 2002 No, that's hitting the "select all" button, usually the "~" button, and then hitting 1,1. Hitting F1 is selecting yourself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted March 10, 2002 Yea, that mission is far easire when you play it on your own; less chance of being caught! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theavonlady 2 Posted March 10, 2002 Not if you send your two AIs out of formation to kill a few enemies from a different position and draw away hostile fire from yourself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr Jekyll 0 Posted March 10, 2002 I just stole a Hind and blasted everything on the island, then parachuted over the evac point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MattM 0 Posted March 10, 2002 Thanks for all the replies guys. >>This was a bug in this SP mission way back. What OFP version are you running? Yes, I probably do need the patches, I'm too busy playing the game to download anything! >>I just made those guys wait, went by myself, shot the spetz natz came back. That's what I've done. I've taken most of the soldiers around the perimeter fence, and crawled all the way around inside the base but can't find the 3 spetz natz! Â Anyone help me out? >>>I just stole a Hind and blasted everything on the island, then parachuted over the evac point How do I do that then?

Anyone help me out?<span id='postcolor'> don't bother killing soldiers wou'll waste your time and ammo and increase risk of giving your position. when yo start, look at the map, see which way you have to go..usually SE, go that way with your compass. watchout when yo u cross the road.(your mom always said so! go into the woods, and keep going until you can see enemy base. Spetx Natz should be at the entrance of the base Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MattM 0 Posted March 10, 2002 thanks Ralph. When I said soldiers around the perimeter fence I only meant the ones patrolling the entrances. Are the "Spetx Natz" given a special enemy tag? Like I said I've crawled all the way round the inside base and can only find machine gunners and soldiers. Just wondered if they were hidden inside a building or were standing around in a specific place inside the base. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theavonlady 2 Posted March 10, 2002 Hint: officers usually don't wear helmets in OFP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
second_draw 0 Posted March 11, 2002 If my memory is correct, they fixed this in the 1.10v interim patch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
second_draw 0 Posted March 11, 2002 also, It was also fixed in 1.2v patch. So you can go straight to version 1.2 in your upgrade path Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

USSoldier11B 0 Posted March 27, 2002 The Spetnaz wear OD green cravats on their heads. Also they will get out of a UAZ and walk towards a tent. If you miss any of them, they will run, but they will always go back to the tent (they are stupid.) I snipe from as far away as possible, and can usually kill eveyone on the base excluding armor. Remember an acronym we use in the U.S. Army OKOCA (Observation & Fields of Fire, Key Terrain, Obstacles, Cover and Concealment, Avenues of Approach). Set up a spot in the woodline that is on high ground (key terrain) and has a good field of view over the camp (observation & fields of fire), A fence prevents the enemy infantry from coming at you from 12 o'clock (obstacles), Trees give cover, bushes concealment, Armor cannot enter the forest, and it usually slows down infantry as well (avenues of approach). OFP is the most tactically accurate game i've ever played, using real military doctrine will keep you alive and help you accomplish missions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Red Dwarf 0 Posted March 28, 2002 This is one of the best missions in the game. As somebody said earlier grab a Hind from a base a few miles NW up the coast. It's in a base the two pilots are standing beside it theres 2 or 3 guys walking around the perimeter and 3 tank crew standing by a shilka, not a big problem at all. then you can just nick the hind and kick some serious butt!! But as usual watch out for those shilkas! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WKK Gimbal 0 Posted April 3, 2002 Another option most people don't mention: Hop into the Jepp with MG, with your two black ops, then drive like mad down to the beach road north of the base. It's pretty easy to get there without being shot. Now drive north until the UAZ comes towards you. Tell your MG'er to attack the UAZ and he will rip it to shreads along with the two SpetsNaz inside. Then drive to the base and either snipe the last SpetsNaz or (a little bolder) use the Jeeps MG to shoot down a wallsection, so you can sprint in and steal the T72 - then shoot him with that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
