SP - Panther Patrol (1.3)

Description
You are a Panther team that has been assigned to patrol the area of operation and to locate and capture 5 Opfor camps.
The camp locations are unknown, but when you are close enough you will pick up an opfor radio signal that will help you pinpoint the exact location.
In the AO you will also encounter random opfor patrols including AT teams so be careful.
The mission is completed after you have located and captured all opfor camps and safely returned to the NATO base or outopst.
Read task description/briefing for further details.

Extra features:
- Custom music
- Dynamic patrols.

Notes:
This mission has been made on the Dev Branch, you may need the Dev Branch enabled to play it. Custom music is not hearable inside the Panther unfortunately, only in 3th person view.

Tips:
- After the specialist team joins your team it is handy to mark them as a team color and your own team as an other color, makes it easier to manage and contol both teams.
- If you select the whole group and order them to halt/stop the specialist team will get out and take in a position close to the Panther. It is best to have combat mode enabled at anytime so they will seek cover automatically.
- The AI gunner in your team is quite trigger happy and uses up the ammo fast. If you can switch to the gunner seat to conserve ammo or/and let the gunner hold fire when he tries to fire at targets from to far away you will hold out longer. (the Devs are working on changing the AI gunner behavior)
- Even with manual firing you will run out of ammo before you captured all camp sites. There are fresh Panthers waiting for you at the NATO base and the outpost. There are not any support trucks available in the beta yet unfortunately.
- The opfor will occupy buildings too, so you might have to get out of the Panther to search for the last soldier that is to scared to come out and fight you.

Good luck!

I searched SWS for "patrol" and this didn't come up. So I went to download from ArmAholic instead and here I am... yay Steam!
