really messy at the end .... too many ennemies that cannot be located

In a way I must admit this was impressive since I never saw something like this, but...dealing with an sqaud of braindead AIs was enought, so....

хорошечно НО предпоследний сектор я не зачистил ! не смог найти противника хоть и перевернул всё вверх дном

Is there a secret to completing Lakka?

Impossible to finish, a whole Battalion just send 4 guys clear each town and watching, stupid.

не работает оно

Оно похоже не работает.

Ok

It shouldn't need any mods or DLC.

does it require any mods/dlc?

Nice mission but impossible to finish.

Thanks! Very good work! I had to play a lot of fun! :)

It doesnt look like the auther is supporting this anymore......I love this Scenario and the only thing I would like is a VAS box (makes it easy for the player to choose his loadout, and players wont complain about lack on benny's and range finders. (+ OMAC) Also an ammo truck + repair truck waiting with me, the commander on top of the hill so i can order it to support vehicles or switching to that unit myself.

I can't clear Lakka completely... I cleared every other sector but there must be someone still hidden in Lakka area and is getting frustrating finding him...

Had to restart a couple times due to a bridge in Kore dissapearing and all my tanks falling into the ditch left by the bridge that dissapeared

Fantastic mission! I lost only the UAV (kamikadze on purpose when fuel went critical) and 10 men (firefights with the enemy, some were run over by our vehicles...). It took me almost six hours to finish it. UAV reconnaissance and careful movement were the keys to victory. Please make more High Command missions, possibly with on-call supports.

Very nice mission, quite difficult and time consuming. Ammo truck (and possibly ambulance and repair, but those aren't as important) should be added as another HC subordinate that you can move forward along with combat troops. Or at least have a base in the rear with support trucks that you can drive back to if necessary. It can get desperate and/or not as fun near end if your Hunter has run out of ammo and you haven't found a damaged Panther or Marshall that has been abandoned which your engineer can repair. It is always more fun to engage in combat yourself than it is just to send other troops into battles you cannot see with HC.

Or you could add an option in second half of mission to call in a reinforcing Marshall that is playable, so that you and your HQ unit could command it and raise hell.

Good job! :-)

hi, what you were thinking when you were creating this mission? where are the high commander's pair of binnoculars or range finder ??? thanks.

I gave it a second try after the recent patch. Vehicles behave much better now indeed, but... there is still much to improve regarding them. Nonetherless I was able enjoy the mission finally! Though I had to save often and load when someone got stuck in ridiculous positions. It's really what Arma 3 is all about (or supposed to be) -- combined assalt, recon, flanking, air support, sniping -- all in one.

I just couldn't figure whether I can aquire UAV control (since I have a UAV terminal in my inventory) or I can only set waypoints for it. Does anyone know?

RE Panthers and Marshalls, the recent update from BI seems to have ironed out the vehicles getting stuck!

It seems that vehicles (Panthers and Marshalls) cannot move in formation properly. Even if I order them to move in a column formation the second vehicle in a group doesn't stick to the road and of course gets stuck against a wall or a fence. What's worse is that the first vehicle starts to move at a lower speed when they get too far from each other (like waiting for the second one to catch up). A vehicle moving at 5 km/h is a sweet target for AT soldier :(

Round Two - I revisited this after earlier frustration and with more planning, care and some Bohemian fixes I managed to complete it. Utterly absorbing, tmospheric and unforgiving! For my level of play this was a very taxing mission which took me on my second visit at least 15 painstaking hours and three attempts to complete. Completion requires huge amounts of recon, probing, pre-emptive capture or destruction of enemy vehicles with commando style raids in order to conserve resources. I do hope you make more missions. Inmy opinion this was better than any mission I played in Arma 2. Really good work!

This seems cool but I find it frustrating that I keep failing for heavy casualties. I don't know what the limit is and, maybe I'm just terrible at commanding, but no matter how tactical I try to be with my forces, the AI are just terrible and get murdered. The helicopter in particular I cannot stop getting shot down as it won't do as I say even when I try to get it to leave a danger zone. Any tips?

Well-made mission, but half of the stupid AI vehicle drivers got stuck against buildings or on walls, making it unplayable. I found one team standing next to their burnt-out Hunter, with the commander repeating "Get in vehicle", and his men saying "No sir!", over and over. Hilarious :D

amazing mission.

problem with the UAV though, i am not sure whether this is a BIS bug or not.

open UAV terminal, make UAV go somewhere, in high command eventually a target will get revealed. in high command map mode, order the UAV to attack a target (a HMG jeep for example), it will attack it and then continue flying in a straight line to the edge of the map if you dont give it a new waypoint. so after every UAV attack make sure to re-assign it a new waypoint somewhere.

Thanks for the feedback folks. I will look more carefully at these issues once I finish work on my current project.

Great mission with solid atmosphere. I really enjoyed every minute of it. Teamswitch would be an awesome addition and maybe a way to refuel the UAV too. AI sometimes freaks out but there's probably not a solution for that. I'm looking forward to more from you!

I liked Village Sweep, I'm looking forward to this one.

Terrible vehicle AI. Helicopter does not follow waypoints when I try to pull it back. It keeps flying around the enemies and gets shot down eventually. Sometimes one of the IFVs in a group drives kilometers away from the first one for some reason, then gets stuck somewhere. Infantry pathfinding is much better though. But since I couldn't use vehicles normally I gave up on this scenario. But I enjoyed Village Sweep!

In my opinion, this mission is one of the best on the Workshop ATM. It is hard, it is away from known Arma gamplay, it conveys the ambiance very well and you need to have a lot of tactics. It is *very* long, so a saving method could be cool. (Like the Sitrep from CLOS AIR SUPPORT (Day2) which you can find in the workshop)

The only thing really holding it back is Bohemia's UI or High Command.

I love it.

Cool stuff to add :

- Team Switch with anybody in the map.

- Co-Op. (Make every soldier playable)

Also, choosing a grey sky with a bit of fog was perfect. Really feel like I am alone and I need to save my men.

Man I really need to lern how to use high command, only played tutorial on arma 2 forget all about this... But cool mission!

3rd objective then lost heli due to(unseen hillside!!!) then pretty much got hammered, good mission WELL DONE!!!suggestion to players, use your command hunter for the first objective..you pretty much can eliminate everyone with the HMG.

http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/onTeamSwitch

lol just kidding, maybe I should've looked harder. Have you tried using enableAI commands on the unit you switch out of?

I've been looking into solving the same issue you are having with teamswitch. I think we might be able to solve it using enableAI commands but I'm not sure how to tell the game when to fire them. There's no eventhandler for swapping out of a unit.

Great work UbiquitousUK!
I really enjoyed this mission; this was my first 'High Command' scenario and I have learnt a lot but obviosuly I still have much to learn!

I have had three attempts and only managed to secure 4 zones before pretty much running out of steam, or more accurately, men or the ability to command teams after a certain point. Any hot tips greatly appreciated; especially how to conserve recon and helio.

They have nothing haha forgot to remove civilian mod haha

There re no civillian cars in this mission.

That a great mission:) Except 50% of my soldier are killed by civilian car and army car by roadkill except that great fun on it :)

I have updated this mission with a little bit of voice acting.

I would like to include teamswitch for men outside of your squad but this is technically problematic because teamswitch does not function properly with the high command module. Basically, if I allow the player to teamswitch to, say, Bravo team leader then it becomes impossible to give Bravo team commands. I am looking for a solution to this.

Great mission. +1 for team switch.
Wouldn't hurt to have more enemy AI in there too, imo.

I'd also agree that teamswitch would be a nice touch. It can be quite a bit of work to babysit the various mounted AI units to prevent them all from getting wasted by an anti armor unit. Being able to use the sniper team to identify and eliminate some of the anti armor units would make things much more managable once the assault beings. All in all though this is a fantastic mission. Keep up the great work!

I agree with the team switch. IMHO it always makes it more fun. I always have to include that in my missions but that's just me. And just in case the AI gets stuck sometimes switching fixes it, not always though.

I enjoyed this mission. I'll play thru it again one of these days and give some better feedback. Too tired at the moment but I wanted to say thanks

Would there be any way for you to include a teamswitch option? I think if you could teamswitch it would make the mission even more awesome, keep up the great mission type.
3instein. :)

@OUTSIDEEARTH if the driver dies then a new one should be assigned from within the group. If you have spotted a but with this then please let me know and I will fix it.

@Rondor At the moment, the only trigger in the whole mission is the heavy casualties trigger, which fires under three circumstances: (1) if the commander (you) dies (2) if fewer than 12 infantrymen are left alive on your team (that would mean losses of about 66%); or (3) if three or more of the five APC or Helicopter vehicles in your task force die. In the next update I will look at taking this trigger out altogether.

@operatorc Great hint! I guess I should put this as an ingame hint in the next version too.

Thanks all for the feedback. Expect a new version in the next day or two.

For the players new to ARMA, or commanding in ARMA, I hope that info helps. Love this series, but you often have to babysit the AI as they're prone to getting stuck or lost.

Aside from Echo, all teams in this mission are mounted in vehicles. When you give them a waypoint (a MOVE command by default), they will travel mounted and stay mounted upon arrival. Great for long-distance travel, but it makes them less combat effective and more vulnerable, and they have a habit of getting stuck.

On the map screen, right click on a waypoint to change its parameters. The first option is type. Using this option, change a waypoint to UNLOAD or GET OUT. At an UNLOAD waypoint, everyone except the driver and gunner (if applicable) will dismount. The vehicle will move in formation with the rest of the squad. This is useful in assaulting open areas with an armed vehicle; otherwise, it's better if the full team dismounts and leaves the vehicle behind. That's what the GET OUT command is for. The LOAD command will order the full team to mount the vehicle, and a GET IN command will order the team to mount into the closest, applicable vehicle.

Further to below I had not hit the loss cap and the Mission Failed screen did not specify that I had.

Was having fun and moved through secxuring the first two objectives at just before 45 minutes had elapsed. Then, poof! Mission Failed popped up while my troops were disengaged and in manuever to our next point along the road. No explanation was forthcoming. I will play from my save securing Kore but has anyone else experienced this?

I was having a blast too. Felt like command.

One question. If a driver of the truck team(delta team) is killed what should I do to keep taking them around?
