[SP\COOP]DUWS-R WW2 Red Storm

********PLZ READ THIS*******PLZ READ THIS********PLZ READ THIS********PLZ READ THIS*********
****************************AND YOU WON'T HAVE TO ASK ME SILLY QUESTIONS***********************

This is a modification of the original DUWS by Kibot and the DUWS Enhanced-M (More CP)(Manual Enemy Zones) by My man. Full credit goes to those guys for creating this mission.

Please see below for a description of how to play DUWS, and take my word for it, its one of the best persistent singleplayer and multiplayer missions out there.

In this modification you play as the Red Army, vs the Wehrmacht, Panzerwaffe and Luftwaffe.


Features:

- Manual Placement of enemy Zones

- AI Revive, medics will automatically revive units (only if played in Multiplayer)

- ****YOU CAN ALSO CHANGE THE MAP****

by renaming the DUWS-R Red Storm.staszow.pbo file to "DUWS-R Red Storm.Altis.pbo". Then put the file in your MP missions folder in the Arma 3 game directory (not Arma 3 MP missions in My documents) You can find the mission.pbo from the google drive link below.

OLD DUWS version (with AI limiter) - will not be updated anymore

NEW DUWS-R version (without AI limiter)

There are a few other ww2 maps included in IFA3_AIO_LITE mod that would work well with this mission, however rivers can be a problem for AI vehicles which will get stuck so if there is a river place all enemy zones on the same side of the river as your HQ and it wont be a problem.


Requires Mods to play, you'll find em all on the Arma 3 Workshop, links are to the right in required items.



How to play and set up game:

- Play in multiplayer by hosting a LAN or Internet game (AI will revive you in multiplayer.)

- MP - Choose class in lobby and edit parameters - optional (top right, disabling the AI limiter is recommended))

- Place HQ dialog will pop up. Choose Random or Manual then (I prefer to choose a location manually).

- HQ will spawn wherever you click on the map for manual or wherever random location is, then a large dialog box will pop up to set up the game. Most of this is self explanatory - choose amount of enemy zones (more than 4 or 5 will engage the AI limiter and may stop the AI commanders on both sides from sending out attacks (task forces) against each other). This AI limiter can be turned off in the parameters options in the lobby before starting the game.

- Set your starting Command Points "CP". These are used for purchasing empty Vehicles and High Command Squads and are increased by doing side missions. If you haven't used High Command squads before I'd suggest looking up a short tutorial on You Tube to find out how as they are very useful in this game mode to capture strategic locations and hold them whilst you are elsewhere.

- Set the Army power "AP" for both sides. This is the amount of resources that both sides have from the start. I usually set the enemy AP for the Germans to 200 and the Russian forces to 10 so that you have to build up strength before attacking enemy zones by doing side missions. However AP is increased by capturing and holding zones.

- The max distance from HQ is the maximum distance that a side mission will spawn from the HQ or FOB

- Other Options here are self explanatory

- Click Start or Continue (not sure exactly what the button says). Then you will be taken into the map to choose the locations of the enemy zones. Try to choose flatter areas that are not cluttered up by trees or buildings and left click. If the area is unsuitable a dialog box will show up in the top right. Keep trying you usually can get them to go where you want, even if the area looks too cluttered. The further apart you put them the harder it is for the enemy Commander to reinforce them and take them back (which makes for a boring game in my opinion) Set them up around 1, 2 or 3km from each other and they will mutually support each other. Or not its up to you. Once done the game will start.

- Your AI commander is in the HQ building, go to him for requesting units, supports, Virtual Arsenal (from Supports) and side missions. The "Recruit Special Operatives" option has hireable troops that gain experience points for doing side missions and capturing zones that will improve their effectiveness in battle, go back to that menu periodically to add these points to their attributes.

- Set up FOB's. Once you have captured a zone after maybe a couple of minutes you will get a support added to your 0-8 menu (press 0, then 8) called establish a FOB. They need to be within 250m of the centre of the zone to work and will spawn in with a small patrol and can be fortified if the AI limiter hasn't kicked in. The AI Commander will also eventually send reinforcements there to protect the zone but you should also consider sending some high command squads there to patrol the zone to protect it further. You can also buy from a smaller selection of troops, high command squads and vehicles, as well as teleport between FOB's and select side missions at the FOB.

- Save in MP or SP by pressing 0-8-1, it costs one Command point.
- Earplugs added press end key to toggle on/off.

Known Bugs:

Sometimes when you start once your HQ has been deployed WARCOM does not initialise properly meaning that the HQ Commander does not send out Task Force attacks against the Germans. This can be caused by spawning more than 5 zones which will hit the AI limiter cap. This can be turned off via the parameters tab in the lobby before starting the game although there still is a cap when it is turned off, its just a lot higher.


AT guns aren't very good at killing tanks, purchase a Single High Command Tank from the request squads menu to guard your HQ and learn how to use high command on youtube.

Please notify me of any other bugs and i'll try to fix em, I'm relatively new to coding, and ENJOY!!!

I have also made 2 Germans vs Russians versions of this mission.
