Supply network....

I am having a very difficult time with this mission. I'm stuck at the part where you steal the truck to begin with, but looking around I see others are having issues BEYOND this point in the mission...so I'm just ♥♥♥♥ed lol.

Any tips? Is there a cheat code to just skip the mission? I really want to keep playing this game but this damn mission is rediculous.

Devs, please stop giving us mission that involve controlling other units. The AI is horrible...

Update (June 30, 2020) - I noticed this thread was necro'd, and I just want to point out I simply gave up on the game. After posting this originally I gave it another afternoon with different suggestions and ultimately just stopped trying. I haven't played the campaign since June of 2016.

Arma is known for "extensive" controls. Between micro managing meh AI with said controls, and the countdown of the vehicles showing up, I am not able to complete the mission.

I am unable to "Get Gud", nor am I aware of any way of skipping the mission. So the game sits in my game list gathering dust, while I wish I could enjoy the full game.

Thank you all for picking at my wounds. (I'm kidding ;D )

SeraphinicIna has Arma 3

Not really, the AI do work if you know how to use them ;) set them to positions, let them kneel, let them watch the direction you want and order them to hold their fire.

You plant 2 bombs and wait until the first Ifrit is on it, detonate them. Order your teammates to open fire and to regroup. Peek out of your cover and take out the truck driver. After that take out the other 4 CSAT that are in the last Ifrit (that car isn't armed). You can force them out with destroying ther tires.

And if you are already having problems with Supply Network, you will have much fun with Bingo Fuel and Preventive Diplomacy ;) especially Bingo Fuel is considered the most difficultt mission in the campaign (which I also verify)

Don't give up! Keep on ;)

The AI is a pile of ♥♥♥♥. I havn't expected much of it, keeping in mind all the issues with the other games starting from operation flashpoint, but arma 3 has the worst AI by far. After capturing the truck, where the AI hit ♥♥♥♥ despite setting up an ambush, I lost half my squad in multiple tries to bring the truck back because they crashed in each other or got stuck between trees. They seem to not even be able to drive down a straight road without crashing or taking turns into the vegetation.

I'm trying to do this mission for like 3 hours now and simply gave up after the point where the camp is attacked when you delivered the supply truck. Again the AI does nothing besides dying. I do loose half my squad anyway, because every time the first missile hits where they parked their vehicle. But try to get away from the camp seems near impossible. Shots from severeal directions, aproaching armed vehicles from the north and the west and several choppers fireing at your position if you are more then a few seconds in the open.

This mission just makes me angry and at this point, I really regretting putting any money into this game. Should have stayed back at arma 2.

You can accomplish that mission without counting on your squad mates.

Of course, the first few times, I got splattered silly by the OP grenade launchers on the armored vehicles (in terms of learning curve, the game should have given some clues or more time to prepare).

I set the squad to Stealth mode, which is the best in many circumstances. This way, they should avoid being detected, yet will snipe enemies if you miss some on your flanks (presuming you place them a distance behind you).

The explosive charges allow to get rid of one of the fearsome Ifrits (MRAP vehicle) from the start! (oof!) Then, if you are lucky, your team is not in the line of sight of the other ones.

After that, you have no time limit, so you carefully use rockets or grenades (from handheld launchers) on the other Ifrits.

Once I got the hang of it, I found the mission fun and was proud when I made it. Initially, I was of course in WTF! mode.

Follow-up : I had beginners luck though. I decided to redo the mission and have failed at least 30 times in a row! (normal diff.) By failure, I include reloading a past saved game because my squad was all killed but me.

This game is hard. If it is not the grenade launcher that gets me, it is one of the 30+ AI with super eyes (a few of which are SpecOPs). I wish I had more time to set-up the ambush.

Follow-up 2 : so finally succeeded doing the three following ...

1) The original ambush spot I had selected was much better then the new one I tried afterwards. The original and successful position was close to the action; the terrible position was trying to fight from far (the MRAP grenade launcher and their SpecOPs win at far range).

2) Using the excellent voice command tool called Articulate made for ARMA 3.
https://github.com/Mpstark/articulate/wiki

3) Fixed my Optics and Zoom In keybindings : they are confusing as f... in Arma 3. In my original set-up, I could only zoom in once. Even without a scope, you can zoom in a few times while aiming with any rifle or smg. Using a full X2 scope made it much better for me anyhow.
- Temporary Optics : right mouse (all other Optics options/keybinds are clear-empty)
- Zoom In : key of your choice ; I use Space. All other zoom options/keybinds are clear-empty.

With a better position and better aiming, I got them all (rockets on the MRAPs) and stole one of their MRAPS (with full squad onboard). The supply truck reached its destination, but I went in the small base where it is parked and conquered.

To begin with, I highly discourage the use of any cheat or mod menu, even though it's legal since it's a modification to the game and not ripping anyone off, it completely ruins the game as a military simulator and you'll lose skill and won't be able to develop key instincts, you won't learn situational awareness, how to plan ambushes with what you're given, commanding a squad effectively, or evading threats too big to deal with head on. On this mission, just eliminate the first Ifrit (Whichever has the mounted RCWS) and try your very best to eliminate the driver of the supply truck. I would recommend saving right before the convoy appears, and remember to order your squad to open fire once you destroy the Ifrit with a placed explosive.
