[SP/CO-4] Operation Black Sword

Description
An elite squad of RACS paratroopers take advantage of a storm to make a daring incursion behind enemy lines and eliminate three high-value targets.

- Singleplayer / 4-player Co-op
- Sahrani-based sabotage and infiltration mission loosely inspired by an old Arma 1 mission I had a lot of fun with once. (https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/60019-black-sword/)
- Requires CUP, MGSR, and CBA.

Took hundreds of hours to complete this, embarrassingly - learned some neat tricks along the way. Had to release it before I continued to endlessly tweak it to death.

Tested in singleplayer - theoretically should work in co-op, but I can't confirm.

Thanks for taking the time to check it out!

KNOWN ISSUES:

*AI squad-mates are kind of useless and will be left behind when you take the boat escape - they mostly exist as stand-ins for co-op.

*The undercover vehicle system can be abused in a game-breaking way - up to the player(s) to limit its use accordingly.

*Kind of needlessly long and unfocused - this is the result of thousands of hours in editor making random go-nowhere scenarios and finally feeling the need to make something with a beginning and end. The scope kept getting out of hand and things I thought would be simple weren't - at all.

Had lots of fun making this, anyway - please leave me whatever feedback you have.

@Kirgiz Hey sorry you're running into problems - sounds like you visited Antigua airfield, which is an unfinished and partially-hidden objective I left in for no good reason, though it should mention its unfinished state in the briefing and objective description itself - to complete the mission and extract simply head to the appropriate marker on your map (near the anti-air radar) and throw a white smoke grenade - that will trigger an extraction sequence and should end the mission - you can actually call for extraction and complete the mission without completing any of the other tasks.

The mission does not end, all goals are achieved, I even destroyed everything on the small island (the sleeping guy including all Putin's planes), and everyone on the big island, including helicopters and several infantry fighting vehicles and water transports...
What else do you need from me? we are tired and want to go home to get our medals and a vacation with whores on a Thai island...:steambored:

@Liberty_Valance Hey thank you for taking the time to check it out!

The three HVT's aren't marked but they should all be in the camp in two separate areas - I'll post an image of their exact locations below.

Let me know if you still can't locate them and I'll have to double check everything is functioning properly.

expecting more of this type of work located on Malden or Altis. Thanks

a real full campaign with a good scenario but the HVT cannot be found, so no extraction is possible.
