Campaign help - Tipping Point

[Kyle]

Hey, how the hell do I get past the mortars\para troops? I have 5 squad mates, plenty of ammo etc. If i stop to shoot the infantry I get hit by the mortars and if I don't stop moving I get hit by the infantry... am I missing something??? Any tips appreciated thanks.

[Kyle]

Done... after about an hour of trying, I just left my team mates to die and ran along the coast line to the mission objective. Not very good mission design imo..

[Blitzk]

lol yep there seems to be only one way to survive .... run and leave everyone and be the only survivor ( i stuck to the lleft and run like hell well as good as an injured guy could)

[Spooky804]

well if you are referring to what i think you are that part is really more of a rout situation and it being a rout means that things aren't exactly going to be organized so yeah BIS may well have intended for you to just run like hell not really caring about your squadmates

I currently am trying to keep my team-mates alive but they drop like flies. after reading this im just gonna do the same after this last attempt

Edit- I actually helped and saved 3 other teammates from death by going ahead, getting prone around the blocked drain pipe, eliminated near enough everyone, except for the marksman at the front who wiped out most of my team, but i picked up his MK and used it to my advantage until i found out that they have KAs which happens to be a terrifying russian helicopter,but would someone mind telling me who the reds are on the map, i legged it as soon as i heard the retreat order but seen red units firing i think on the AAF (green) so anyone able to tell me who they are?

Another Edit- The paras came down right beside me, fired near me, but reloaded and ran somewhere else then i seen purpleish dots on the map, i have no clue who they are at this moment but i think the mission may be broken

what a crappy mission design

[Mr. Death]

It's missions like this that really kill single player arma 3 and 2 for a lot people. Charging across an open field while trying to avoid an endless storm of mortars and paratroopers that the shoot laser beams from a mile away. How many times do you expect people to die at the hands of an unrealistic AI before they throw up their hands and just walk away for good?

I got fed up with it so I just swam to the objective, squaddies be damned.
Took longer but I would have spent the same amount of time or longer running through the mortars and paratroops.

The level could definitely use a revamp, but it's unlikely it'll ever get one. I wonder if the level designers or anybody that worked on it actually gave it a test run, sure seems like they didn't.

it should get a major revamp but it was mainly designed so that you are the only survivor, but sadly you dont have the stanima, weaponry or med kits to survive unless you go and swim the entire way there which also takes alot of time even with some stanima. Finally finished it but i came across another mission where i had to steal a fuel truck but then you find out you have to get the second one which is 2klicks away and my men who were inside a truck got killed. i didnt even make it or even begin to believe i would live through this if i got away from from whatever attacked my men. This mission its self needs a revamp or i will have to drive so far around it, ill be there all night doing the mission

Glad to read that there is a way. If I stop to shoot the AI, I get drilled with bullets, or a mortar on my head even if I only stop to fire 2-3 shots before getting up and carrying on. I tried running through, but the coast seems to be the only possible way (which I am going to try now). I was about to uninstall this until a later date when I could play KOTH or Wasteland
-----EDIT-----
Sweet mother of god, I made it around the coast and the 3 team mates still alive teleported to the boats

[Belle Delphine]

I did it properly. Took me 5 hours. Next Time im running

[Ycraes]

Got through that mission with all but 1 squad mate in tact but that was awhile ago, unless one of the recent updates to the AI system made it harder IDK what people are so bothered about. The mission witht he fuel truck on the other hand was indeed a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥, couldn't keep my squadmates alive no matter what I did.

[Rodi]

Idk what your problem is. My team lived the entire mission up to the boats.

THE RED UNITS ARE CSAT(EVIL)
Capslock is real.

[Belle Delphine]

i realised i was playing it on the hardest difficulty ! the struggle was real

[R0Burli]

I decided to take a swim to the objective. And because it took so long, I used the time acceleration. but as I was at the objective, my squad killed every paratroopers.

[get out of town]

It is definitely way too difficult, and if I were to try and guess why they designed the level to be this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ difficult, it's because they were trying to get you to ditch your teammates and run for the hills, leave everything behind, as if you were in a real war. I think that was their intentions, but clearly they didn't make that clear, spent an hour just trying to run with time sped up and died every ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ time.
