Love Stole the Day posted:Whoever is responsible for the Bingo Fuel single player mission is a terrible human being and should die in a fire. I just went through that mission and there is pretty awful scripting there. Basically go to the location of the fuel truck and get in and it will set off the next scripted event. Afterwards you go to the next place. Have that ai squad clear the armor. Then setup in the construction building and plink away at Iranians. Go in New fuel truck and ignore Miller. Go back to original fuel truck area and stock up on at on your ai squad. Find a place along convoy route and destroy convoy. Then drive the full fuel truck to victory. Just be aware you have to manage dumb ai.

That mission felt like it could have easily been split into two. It definitely drug on wayyyyy too long.

Slashrat posted:Alternative solution: Haha make your own rules. I forgot that after the first fuel truck there's this rear end in a top hat apc on top of a hill that you have to kill or you'll get murdered on the way to the new fuel truck. It's facing away from you so you can place explosives on it and then have your ai kill the crew as they bail. At least the end was fun for me having four at rockets heading towards the convoy at once. Though my ai was dumb and didn't hit the first vehicle so I had to do that myself.

I've been spoiled by playing DCS, this new A-10 sounds bad and the gun doesn't have the party mix, it's just a bunch of normal 30mm spat out really fast that can't kill a tank. You also can't look over your dudes shoulder and see the giant blenders, the seat is in the way.  CSAT jet has really good engine power, it's the only plane with enough thrust to keep it pointed vertically, and you can keep it turning in circles without stalling since it holds steady at around 350km/h or so.

Is it normal to only be able to place one manual save per campaign mission, or am I doing something wrong? I stupidly placed a save moments before getting shot, and the last autosave was several minutes earlier.

I spent another 3 hours after my previous post before saying gently caress this game and looking up how to just skip the mission via cheatcodes. Now onto Win/Game Over, It seems that you're supposed to die at first glance becuase it'll just say "The End." Furthermore, the game is pretty much doing a Metal Gear Solid 2 ending with us considering the credit roll before the mission starts. I'm trying to get into the dome for the optional objective right now but it's pretty stupid because there's only one way in and that's through at least 4 guys: 2 in front and 2 hiding off to the left.. Edit: literally right after i post this and replay the mission, all of a sudden the walls around the dome are knocked over... wtf. Edit again: made it into the dome thing... it's a waste of time. He just stands there and says herpderp look at all this seismic poo poo wonder what it says... Edit#3: I am so disappointed with this campaign...

I think we can all agree that fuel truck mission is a load of poo poo. Going to use MCC to beat it quick so I can finally see the ending. VVVVV I only think this one level is bullshit.

Slashrat posted:Alternative solution: By the way, if anyone wants to do some playtesting of JDAMs, John_Spartan and Saul's F/A-18E/F Super Hornet mod has a "development" version with tweaks to the JDAM 'ammo' config and to the vehicle config for an "invisible GPS target marker", both of which "should allow much bigger stand off range with JDAM's than initial GPS targeting system version" than in the current v1.6 stable version -- most significantly, "you don't need to wait for "tone" or "dimond". So once you have lock "square" acquired [which depends on your view distance for objects] bomb can be released. JDAM's will auto track target and lock automatically during the flight [adjusting the flight path effectively within 5km range of target]."

So I went back to the 7Cav server on a different profile account and after an hour of mortar fun I see 7Cav people harrassing this 12 year old kid with a British accent who's being polite and proper with his radio use (all tactical and whatnot -- announcing takeoffs, letting people know ETAs, asking for permission to bomb, etc...). The admins start harrassing him to get on TS3 and whatnot (just like they did me when they banned me last time) and so I report the admin that's reporting the kid for breaking his own server rule about harrassment. The admin then just straight up bans me.  This game's community admins are loving terrible. The kid was doing nothing wrong and the second I stand up for him against the Admin's bullshit I just get banned. Exact same situation that happened last time as well, except instead of me being the pilot I was the one standing up for the kid this time. The game itself is fun to some extent while being also frustrating enough with all of the constant freezing, stuttering, lagging, and extremely disappointing single player campaign... but then when I go online to play multiplayer with a bunch of other people I have to deal with this poo poo as well?

I'd rather ignore you and just move on, but instead I'm going to point out the thing that you don't seem to have understood the past 13 times its been said to you. Their server, Their rules. If you don't like it, don't play on their server, but for the love of god stop whining in here about it.

Every Operation flashpoint/Arma campaign in the history of the series has been almost unplayable because of stupid poo poo AI, so definitely don't buy this game if you only wanna do a SP campaign made by the devs.

I decided to try out the new bulldozer thing by pitting it against a BTR and two GMG ifrits. After flipping the BTR over, it somehow got stuck in the plow. So I decided to use it as a battering ram.       It probably would've made a good tactical shield too but the AI never fired the ifrit grenade launchers at me.

I believe in this case it's the AI being smart enough to know when weapons would be effective. They won't shoot at anything they don't believe they can damage. The GMG rounds don't dent armor in the slightest so they'll just stay aiming at you never firing if you roll around with it. Similar to how a group of riflemen won't engage a Marshall or they would shoot at a Pawnee/Orca/Hellcat but less inclined to shoot a Blackfoot/Kajman unless it's the autorifleman. I wish the engagement AI mods were built into the game since if I'm engaging someone at 600m I expect them to fire back, even if it's extremely inaccurate. They just try to run into range but die everytime. Or how pilots with their SMGs refuse to engage unless they're <200m away but 210m is clearly too far to even attempt to return fire.

I used the cheat to get the Survive missions done as when they updated it last it ate my saves. However I think this has caused me to get the bug where I am continually getting default equipment as my NVG, GPS, rifle and etc all keep going missing. My vest and helmet also keep going walkabout. Will I have to make a new profile to fix this bug?

Any weapons you are carrying (or in the vehicle you are driving) at the end of a mission are saved in the base containers. I also kept the same vest for the most of the campaign so it should work? GPS/NVGs/helmets vanish every time Your loadout may be changed for each mission but you can re-equip from the briefing screen. They've had similar loot mechanism since OFP:Resistance and it still feels vague. It needs a proper screen after each mission to show what you have acquired...

Loot disappearing after each mission is pissing me off too. I try to go out of my way to get supplies too as a purely RP aspect to things but c'mon guys. I've brought like 8 pairs of NVGs and GPSes back, I can keep one for myself okay? The nighttime mission where they GIVE you a pair made it sound like they were doing me a favour too, and I'm like 'ffffffffffffff I probably looted this pair you jerkoffs'.

The campaign is weird like that in that some item types (NVGs, GPS, rangefinders, laser designators, first aid kits, anything that goes into the backback, vest or uniform slot) aren't retained. The best thing instead is finding a nightstalker scope. Thermal, NVGs, rangefinder and long-range scope with backup CQ sight in one package that carriers over between mission.

Well, the dude in the bulldozer turret would fire continuously at any armoured targets it could see, including the T-100 which 6.5mm does gently caress all against, but it would ignore the Ifrits even though it could take out the tires at least. Also is it just me or is the turret on the bobcat unbearingly loud in third person?
