I want to play the Strange Meeting mission but I am unable to fail the Montignac Must Fall mission. I guess I am just too good. :biggrin: Any hints?

Good for you. You obviously missed the point though...

The AI is much better in 1.20. I have reinstalled 1.20 but I would like to be able to use the new addons such as the Winter Kolgujev and weapons pack. Also I would like tracers. If anyone else is unsatisfied with playing against Rambo-AI that can spot you through bushes from 500 meters away in heavy battle, with dusins of men running around, and yet they all pick you although lying prone in a bush .....then post a reply, otherwise don't bother!!

Then you haven't seen it all. BIS has admitted in the beta forum that AI can see you through bushes. E.g. you shoot at a soldier that can see you. Fair enough he sees you too. But then he relays his information about where you are to every other AI soldiers, including those that cant see you. If you then kill the soldier that saw you, the others will kill you by shooting through bushes even if they can't actually see you and infact never did see you.

I didn't know BIS would make a new patch. I recall to have read that 1.30 was the final patch, but I'm glad they changed their mind. For those who haven't experienced the Rambo/God/All seeing AI, try the mission that was also in the demo, Ambush (rename demo1.demo.pbo to demo1.abel.pbo and it will work in the real game). Completely impossible in 1.30!! When moving downhill from the group of houses west Houdan, towards Houdan - ALL you team members get shot (if you are lucky enough not to be shot first). There is a machine gunner lying north of the east-west road, just outside Houdan. He will be able to spot you even if lying prone in a bush 3-400 meters away. That is NOT realistic at all. If you are stupid enough to shoot at someone south of the e-w road (2-300 meters south of the infamous machinegunner), he will immidiately know your position too. BIS wrote in the betatest forum that it is because the AI share target information. So when you shoot at a guy, those several hundred meters away will know your position too, even those that can't see you!! I don't know if it was like that in 1.20 but the effect didn't have as much impact as in 1.30. I'm sticking with 1.20 for now, that's for sure.

Has anyone tried the new XP 64-bit driver? How does it compare to the XP/2000 version 21.83?

Never mind. Just realised they are only for Quadro and not for GeForce.

Thanks SpaceAlex I'll give it a try. When I have played it I'll let you know if we are the same person or not

A bit easier just drive to The Hill in the jeep and fire a LAW wouldn't you say (as I described in the 6th post in this thread)? That took me less than 10 mins and I didn't use accelerated time.

Found it for you: Killing the Scud

Use the search function, It was discussed a few days ago. Search for "The Hill".

I completed the mission the hard way first time too. Completely stealth only shot a couple of bad guys (the guard at the front door of Guba's house and a few others). This time I managed to steal a Hind. This is my score: <span style='color:red'>XXX</span> Â and measly 200 points! I don't get it! The defriefing says "That's superb work Commander...", all mission objectives accomplished and here is my stats: :biggrin: <span style='color:green'><ul> [*]T80 [*]T72 [*]3x Shilka [*]2x Officer (night eq.) [*]BMP [*]2x RPG Soldier [*]3x Machine Gunner [*]12x Crew [*]13x Soldier </span> That's 32 men and 6 vehicles, single handed. I even took a screenshot of the debriefing. I might print in and put it in frames... :biggrin: (Edited by Tor at 4:10 am on Oct. 19, 2001)

How do you kill the crew of the tank? When I try I start picking one but then the other 2 immidiately turn in. Where do you do it, with which weapon, from what angle of the tank etc.?

Hello...? The Hind is not there! It's parked on the ground with no crew, there is no Hind after you. It's parked somewhere around Hb25, it's not shooting at you at all. Take care of the Shilkas instead, that it what Kills you.

The Hind your gunner calls is nicely parked with no crew at all. Forget about it and take care of the Shilkas instead.

I have completed the mission twice from by shooting from The Hill with a LAW. It's by no means impossible or difficult. The secret it to get there without being noticed. Take the Jeep to the western side of The Hill. Mark the spot where you left it. Continue on foot and avoid all patrols. Go to the exact center of Dj51. There is a little ledge. Fire the LAW from here. Make sure to hit the first time. Quickly select the MP and run back westward. There are some trees right behind the position at Dj51. You are now safe run back to the jeep and you are home free. Takes less than 10 mins to complete. Forget about the support because the are far far too weak. I tried the position 250 meter south of the SCUD and believe me, it's much harder to escape from there than from the hill.
