I have been searching high and low for any information about the searchlights given to the East German border units and I cannot figure out how to apply them to my scenario. How in the world do they work? Is there a special script that attaches the searchlights to the BT-11 towers? I'm so confused.

Good day Arma 3 Fans and mod players! Myself and many members of my community have recently started playing a mod called Overthrow, Overthrow is a fantastic mod in which players work together to destabilise towns and take them over in order to takeover the map. With every Cop or Civilian killed influence is gained or lost, during the game NATO forces will attempt to retake and battle for positions which makes for dynamic and interesting game play. It's a thoroughly enjoyable mod and can be downloaded through this page below which also provides more information as the Mod has many features. If you would like to see some comedic game play then please do checkout the video linked below : If you have any further questions or queries regarding the mod then feel free to message me.
