I hope that future patches can bring some civilian assets into the naval theme of this CDLC, Arma 3 has long neglected civilian shipping and those assets are instrumental for any immersive mission

I apologize for starting a rumor in advance. I have no way of knowing when release will be.

Going off of the time between when the WS and RF dlcs were announced and then released, EF may be coming within 3-4 weeks if everything is goes well

I'm super excited to play. thanks again all

out of curiosity i did try the AI generation and it came out as a garbled mess that looked like a website for a zoo 😄

fair enough, i personally dont care if people use AI, so long as its not just used as an "oh im too lazy to do something so ill just get AI to do it all for me".

Will this cdlc running on Server Like apex ? Or still need Owen the cdlc to play on a Server ?

you can use the compatibility data to play on a server if you dont own it and the server requires it

it will become available at launch

Right,still Wish the cdlc Like livonia Not need many GB loading extra Like sog Asset on whatever for map need Player how dount Owen the cdlc possible to join without possible to use IT then only for map need then the sog , anyway thanks , Hope many Player buy IT

EF does not add a terrain

I read IT only Asset and the reason why i ask

#

That's right, but over the years most of my players buy a DLC because they couldn't use it on my server, and that would be a topic why it would be nice in the base game if players see it but can't use it. Most people are encouraged to buy a DLC / cDLC , You can dream sometimes thats all

winter obsidian
#

just use the compatibility data. has the exact same effect as current dlc

#

people use mods all the time, but when it comes to compatibility data, suddenly it's a problem to have one more mod active. i just dont get it

Arma 3 came out in 2013. They added content all the way up to version 2.0, and are still doing engine updates today. CDLC lets folks contribute additional content in 2024, within limited budgets and lets devs get paid. All good to me.

like ai pathing so they dont walk through walls n stuff. but what i meant was we got a great CDLC among many,all we need is now,and i meant this rhetorically is better ai update. that fixes issues n mayvbe even adds like animations for gunfights like cod etc

they cant move on water, just standing still

pastel nest
#

they can only go in a straight line apparently

#

we had to hold their hand to make them go in water correctly in the campaign, but its basically scripted, normally they wouldnt do that

#

its just an engine issue

#

i guess no one ever checked that as there was no tracked vehicle that could go in water in vanilla

Doesnt matter youll never see any of the assets cause theyre CDLC locked

Same thing with WS

Youll never see any of those assets in any popular server

Only popular CDLC servers are from prairie fire

And that atleast makes sense being seperated

stoic marlin
#

I played air control, extractions, and spearhead with 6 people last week. I’m not sure I understand

viscid condor
#

But theres no reason why Reaction Forces, Western Sahara and Expeditionary forces shouldnt be apart of the base game

#

When most of them are using Vanilla assets

stoic marlin
#

There are. They’ve been addressed already by people who know more than me

viscid condor
#

Ya probably some greedy reason involving money

stoic marlin
#

No. Have a good day

supple stump
#

Garuda doesn't realize the difference between Bruhemia made assets and creator made assets

viscid condor
#

Its both when you take a vehicle from the vanilla game and make some slight changes to it

#

So it should be allowed in the base game

#

Its not like theyre taking peoples mods and putting them in the base game, o wait they already did that with the ADR-97s😅

#

Its not like they had a third party team make an official DLC before and put it into the real game

#

O wait they did that with Jets DLC😂

safe musk
pastel nest
#

jets was developed by both BI and B01, its a different process

#

we are a completely separate entity

#

they're only publishers

cyan nexus
#

but different case just like what chair said

pastel nest
#

yea but in those cases BI is still in charge of technical design even if they outsource small bits here and there

#

its their project

#

in our case we do it all ourselves according to our own vision, BI only comes into play at the very end with a general review and QA and all that

#

this is in very broad terms

jade cargo
stoic marlin
#

Don’t fall for the rage bait

viscid condor
#

And Im not saying anything against any CDLC devs I know they have no power over it

#

It just sucks that even the slightly modified Bohemia Vehicles cant even be allowed in base game

#

So youll never see them on a popular server

#

Especially with no actual base game DLC ever coming anymore

soft portal
#

Adding things to the base game is a complex process, and can cause unforeseen problems. There is also the issues of who is responsible for maintaining, and fixing issues if the added content breaks something. There are many other issues that make adding the cDLC content to the base game much more difficult than people think.

I like some of the cool toys but its a little short on the content 😦 and no csat or fia stuff either

Oh, there is also an counterpart for that landing craft

big question is will we be able to drive vehicles from the landing craft to the shore?

#

i will be big sad if it is just a scroll action that plonks them onto shore

pastel nest

thats how VIV works 🙃

#

however there's a static prop landing craft that allows you to walk and drive vehicles on it

soft portal
winter obsidian
#

:x hell no

pastel nest
#

Could do show/hide and use the normal vehicle perhaps

#

Anyway collision boxes will prevent you from driving or walking directly on the "vehicle", can only be done on the static variant

Could make a little cutscene where the boats driving to the beach, fade to black, teleport the player to an unhidden static boat then hide the moveable one

Why would they? From looking at the vehicle lineup alone one can easily deduce that the CDLC is not trying to represent IRL US Marines, with all their current equipment, but instead inserting itself into the 2035 armaverse timeline, where the US has adopted the 6.5mm caseless cartridge and the MX series of rifles. Not to mention that 5.56 struggles to put down well armored targets such as the CSAT infantry, and even AAF infatrymen wearing the heavier carrier rigs.

i liked the idea of the MXAR being like an M16 to the MX/M4 counterpart like how they were doing in the early 2000s

Day 7 of waiting for the dlc to release: I haven’t touched grass or felt sunlight in a week. I’ve not seen another human, haven’t bathed, haven’t eaten in that time period either.

As the depth of my insanity increases and my mind slowly deteriorates from lack of sleep and nourishment, all I’m able to do is mindlessly click the refresh button on the EF steam store page over and over waiting for it to release.

If my friends and family could see me now, they’d acknowledge what a truly pathetic sight it is to behold. I do not even know why I’m doing it anymore, only that I must. My hair has turned white and my legs have stopped working, the little muscle they had has left them.

I can no longer speak, only sit and drool while pressing the steam store refresh button over and over all day every day

# minor dock BI is not an US based company tho

No, but the US is the largest market for Arma, and the cDLC is about the US Marines, so the US is the primary market for this product. Thanksgiving is a holiday that people spend with their families, eating dinner, and watching football games, there is also a lot of travel, so many people won't even be home on the 28th.

What makes you think the U.S. is the largest market for arma players? 👀

winter obsidian
#

statistics

jade cargo
#

What statistics?

winter obsidian
#

i think germany is 2nd and then uk

exotic spire
#

However "Western Europe" is a dozen countries so it doesn't really count, making North America the largest (yes, I know, not a country either, aktchually)

jade cargo
#

It’s a single market, so it absolutely does count.

exotic spire
#

Well, depends what you're after, exactly.
Speaking of holidays, Poles won't have the same holidays as Dutch people, for example

jade cargo
#

Factor in that most of Eastern Europe is also part of the EU (the single market in question) and it’s an even bigger slice.

#

We were talking about markets.

exotic spire
#

Okay, I focused on that Thanksgiving mentioned earlier. Fair enough.

I don’t think Thanksgiving has any part in BI’s sales strategy tbh 😁

# jade cargo Don’t understand pie charts?

I said the US is the largest market, as in there is no single country with a larger share. This chart would confirm my assertion. If there is another country with more players, please post your source.

#

My point still stands, this dlc is going to get a major percentage of its sales from the US, and because of that, a release on a holiday is not likely. Who knows, maybe BI will release it on the 28th anyway. I'm not sure why a simple point ended up being such a big deal.

That’s not how markets work.

its this right for server A3serverBRANCH=233780 creatordlc ? , try it but no EF folder all other cdlc worked

cerulean ferry
#

It should be merged into that branch, perhaps needed to restart Steam client (if you even use that for Server). Or it just needs some time to propagate across Steam.

use steam cmd with bat file , setup new server all cdlc folder and bikeys on place only no EF , upload now from my pc , only ask its right or need other way to update a server , maybe steam happend

Congrats to the team on the release of the new CDLC. I purchased it immediately, and it did not disappoint. While its not a massive addition, everything included is well worth the balanced price imo. The quality is top-notch, and some of the new ideas / additions are truly appreciated. Wishing you continued success with this release.

played through the campaign, solid 8/10, -1 for lack of any proper outro that would somehow connect the events from this to anything else happening in the universum, unless something happens if I do not spot everything in the 1st mission or have civcas in the rest of them.

and if there's a space to suggest anything, the intros should start with a longer fade-in because everytime there's a 0.5s of loading textures and seeing something else in different direction before characters are moved to proper places

any input on which turrets are intended to go on the LPD? I assume its mostly Spartans and Centurions? Praetorian seems to be slightly too large for them

tranquil nova
# pastel nest ||nothing, its just a tie in with the base game campaign 😄 would've been lame i...

Sorry for quoting you out of context but i think this is important feedback for you, hope youll release some nice updates for your CDLC in the future 🙂

For me unfortunately the lack of CSAT assets is a big dealbreaker, CSAT and the AAF only got the Combat Boat which in CSATs case is strange enought why they share equipment with NATO, their oponent.
I always disliked the NATO bias of Bohemia Interactive and i am very sad that it is continuing in Arma 3s CDLCs, the lack of any CSAT static ships like a aircraft carrier and landing boats is very much limiting mission design and the gameplay experience.
Sure you could argue that for 8€ you cant expect much but seriusly, people would also pay lets say 12€ if we finally also get more assets for CSAT and AAF, like a CSAT landing craft also used by the AAF and a driveable corvette (50m length over all) for the CSAT (maybe soviet design) which is also used by the AAF.

But hell yes Arma 3 needs more naval content, this has been said now for 10 years and BI didnt cared at all.

pastel nest
#

i think i just read your comment on the trailer video 🙃

tranquil nova
#

Alright thx for reading, just wanted to make sure itll reaches you 🙂

pastel nest
#

regarding the use of combat boats by independent and opfor factions, both china and russia do indeed produce their local copies of the CB90 so it's not entirely laziness or fiction

#

but i understand if you think CSAT should get some more content

#

this was a DLC that i could deliver in a timely fashion with what i feel was a good content lineup

#

i hope there will be a chance to address this in the future

floral halo
tranquil nova
#

Interesting didnt knew that, maybe youll be able to implement something nice to CSAT and AAF in the future, looking forward to updates for EF 🙂

sonic vortex
#

looking at the past of CDLCs, typically if the sales are good, the developers can work on adding more stuff

#

so dont break the deal, support the maker

floral halo
#

Yah I'm that way even though I'm not a CDLC worker or anything like that. The level of stuff for my book sales guides what I want to do. If it's popular and getting regular sales, I'll work on that. Other books I don't expand due to low sales and the like. I can understand the level of energy for new content based on sales, and overall interest. So I completely understand that. And frankly I like the content so far, though I need fo figure out how to get that display of fuel into my helos though, that was interesting when checking out the Python

cyan dawn
#

Loving the DLC so far! Great new vehicles!

verbal pawn
#

Do i send bug reports about EF here or to the Tiny Gecko Studios Discord?

pastel nest
#

here is fine too

verbal pawn
#

In Eden editor. When editing the object specific attributes for the new LPD-36 ship, if you tick certain options like 'open hanger door' it breaks other doors on the ship. They still open but door texture is showing the door close. Even if you untick all previous object specific attributes you applied and start the same scenario again, the doors are still broken. You have to spawn in a fresh LPD-36 to have normal working doors. I also have screenshots if needed

pastel nest
#

ah, yes we're aware of that issue, its an engine thing

#

it usually fixes itself after a bit

#

like if you do a preview, then go back in editor and wait a bit

#

@steep abyss could it be that changing eden attributes isnt caught by the fix you made?

queen briar
#

any chance yall can release the composition of the naval fleet from the cutscene of the first mission? 👀 its pretty badass fr fr

verbal pawn
#

Makes sense. Hope it gets resolved soon as you can do some pretty cool things with the new ship like adding textures to the hangar door and renaming the ship on the back. However it's not worth changing those things if it breaks the doors

pastel nest
#

note that it only happens in the editor

#

once the mission is saved and played from the main menu it should work fine

#

saved/exported

tired jacinth
#

it should even fix itself if you reopen the mission in editor, it's basically a temporary ghost of the object.

verbal pawn
#

ah okay great! just tested and it resolves itself if you save as composition too

Anyone know how many objectives are in the first scouting mission?

||and if theres a helo base or some way to shoot down these helos||

#

Macks are also very armored

#

got caught offguard by an AAF APC and expected to just die like in a marshal, but no this tanked it

tropic spruce
#

its the classic nato fantasy

tidal jungle
#

given that blufor has consistently had the worse ground units (and rotary, arguably) for the past 10 years

#

I'd say about time

pastel nest
#

armor on the aav9 is about what you would expect

tidal jungle
#

Yeah could have just gotten lucky

tropic spruce
#

havent tied the vehicle outside of VR but its should be a giant tin can

tidal jungle
#

The new irl ACV is based on the superav and there’s no rating on there but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was 30mm resistant

#

And this doesn’t need to be airmobile like the marshal

#

So more armor isn’t a surprise

tropic spruce
#

how can it be? its a large vehicle... cube square law exist

tidal jungle
#

Volume goes up by cube

#

Surface area by square

#

Surface area is armor = weight

#

Volume = floatation

tropic spruce
#

no it doesnt. when you increase the area of an object you are increasing the volume / density. a smaller vehicle that weighs more has better armor values

tidal jungle
#

That’s only if it’s not a hollow box

tropic spruce
#

and this vehicle is amphibious, made to go really fast

tidal jungle
#

You get cubed amount of space/displacement for flotation

#

Cubed amount of space for engines

#

Only square amount of armor, as armor thickness stays the same as you increase size

#

Basic geometry

tropic spruce
#

that suggest that the vehicle has poor armor protection

tidal jungle
#

???

#

Man I don’t know what to tell you

#

you can model it yourself

#

larger vehicle = less armor needed per volume

#

you somehow cited the one geometric argument that kills your case

#

Like I didn't even think about this argument but you made it easy

tropic spruce
#

no that doesn't make any sense. if you increase the diameter of a wheel by twice its size it quadruples its weight.
the EFV is 28.7 T with a size of 9.33m x 3.66m x 3.28m a T72 is 45 T with a 6.86m x 3.59 x 2.23m. the EFV also has a very large engine for its size at 27L with 14 retractable road wheels. its ceramic armor is also rated for 14.5 AP. a 30mm cannon would eat this thing alive

tidal jungle
# tropic spruce no that doesn't make any sense. if you increase the diameter of a wheel by twice...

No clue where you're pulling these numbers from.
Take a box. Say you have a 1x1x1 box. It displaces 1 m^3 of water and can support 1000 kg of weight to float.
To armor against whatever threat, say you need some thickness of armor. Doesn't matter what. Each square meter of the armor, say it weighs 500kg. You need 6 square meters of armor (assuming you armor all sides, but math doesn't change if you choose to armor only some). You need 3000kg of displacement, so you're 300% over.

Quadruple the size of the box. 4x4x4. Displaces 64 m^3 of water and supports 64000 kg. You need 96 m^2 of armor, so 48000 kg. Wow, suddenly you can float. See how square cube law benefits bigger vehicles armor wise?

pastel nest
#

would have to check again with diag exe to give you an accurate answer but im sure that 30mm AP will pen the vehicle from the side

tidal jungle
#

but I'm just baffled that square cube law is what this guy cites as why bigger vehicles are harder to armor

pastel nest
#

i balanced it with the warrior and kamysh as reference so it shouldn't be far off from that

tropic spruce
#

you need to make ambi vehicles larger to incease buoyance but you have less armor protection doing so

tidal jungle
#

Not if you make it big enough

#

see the example

#

if you made the vehicle massive armor would be a small percentage of the weight

#

and you could thicken it

#

again, I'm not saying that the mack or any amphib vehicle can or can't/should or shouldn't be armored against 30mm

#

Just baffled at why you're using square cube

tropic spruce
#

its simple bigger vehicles would be made heavier from the same armor value as a smaller more compact vehicle.

tidal jungle
#

No shit

#

but bigger vehicles also have more displacement

#

and can handle more weight

#

and displacement grows faster than armor mass

wide current
#

I'm getting a status access violation crash apparently from the engine audio of the Mack - this is with the compatibility mod, as I haven't bought the CDLC yet - I would imagine from a mod conflict. I can't seem to pin down what mod it might be, no matter how many combinations I try. Any suggestions?

Thanks. It seems to be the JSRS sound mod.

It took me a while because it's even in my stripped down QOL modlist.

#

Man I don’t know what to tell you

#

You can model it yourself

#

Bigger vehicle = less armor per volume

plucky spire
#

Has anyone had a conflict with a mod and the Hunter AT that makes it unable to move the turret?

tidal jungle
#

whats the difference between the side load and normal LCC?

willow ermine
#

normal is load on center. it's good for tank or big wide vehicle

#

side is load on right and left, good for Truck or something thin and long vehicles

runic radish
#

Lookin' about, would there be any possibility in retexturing the vessels themselves [As in being able to see config/OG textures to work off of]? First time trying to look into it, just wanted to see if it had been a possibility in other CDLCs or similar at a later date post-launch.

No worries, on some mod vehicles you can only load when the ramp is open, idk if you have tried that already. I haven't gotten around to try it out myself as well so I might be wrong

The San Antonio class is a class of amphibious transport docks, also called a "landing platform, dock" (LPD), used by the United States Navy.

Any word on retexture templates btw?

raven axle
#

Firstly it was good, wish it was a bit longer too, and i noticed some comment about it not linking towards the rest of the Eastwind campaign and that feels lacking too, maybe some message from Crossroads or something that shows this was part of a wider invasion

#

Secondly, Crew interiors on the vehicles would be really desired tbh, it stands out quite a lot without it, same for the LPD (which is an awesome choice) if the bridge could be accessible too like the liberty that would be cool, would be a nice naval addition to the Freedom and even CUP mod LHD

#

Thirdly, i agree with some comments about CSAT really needing some extra attention too in CDLCs.....if CSAT got a Chinese aircraft carrier (say the Fujian which would probably be old by 2035) the J35 and Chinese marines, that would have been an instant winner for all fans of the 2035 era

#

And to circle back to the campaign.... the marines felt a bit more bullet absorbing than usual, not sure why, but i watched an ai squad member soak up like 10 rounds and still not die....which seemed odd considering how hard it is to keep AI teammates alive in general Arma 3 campaigns but not really an issue for me

And i was wondering how difficult the campaign would have gotten if the objectives weren't totally spotted in the first mission.

#

Overall i'm glad i bought this DLC, hoping for future updates tho

they have about the same protection as the standard vanilla nato rig/combat helmet, i dont think we do anything to change that in the campaign either, the only thing we tweaked was the stamina/carry capacity in the final mission because the player had to carry a whole bunch of gear and it would be limiting otherwise.
i understand your other concerns, interiors for the crew on the ifv and more CSAT content seems to be one thing that many want, so if there's time i'll see about fixing it.

i find maneuvering the Combatboat very slow. Its not realistic at all..Boats at that size are pretty fast to maneuver..I talk about Stearing speed and acceleration especially when going backwards....I drive boats IRL and its much easier to maneuver a real ship than the Combatboat in Arma. Could you make the steeringspeed and acceleration faster?

#

Its also the steering range that is too low I guess....try to turn a Combatboat in a tight space...its almost impossible...IRL that is much easier.

does the vanilla boat have the same issue?

you're not the first to complain that they're not very easy to drive, handling will be revised

#

all I know is that AI sucks at using them. Wanna have one with passengers to unload? It will speed its way into the shore with bow so high the dismounting AI breaks their knees on jumping down. Then it will back up a few meters and keep thrusting into that very shore because it cannot turn around. No other boat does this

#

And if you want to make it stop in a specific spot you have to compensate and have the waypoint placed around 150 meters before that spot because it behaves like it doesn't even try to stop.

I love that you can drop the back ramp for the AAV. Looks so good for screenshots, however i’ve only been able to do so via script. Please consider adding action to the crew seats. I also noticed the LCC has trouble with transport unload waypoints

pastel nest
# nocturne granite Hope you find a good middle ground

so the reason why the rudder force is kept lower is that with higher forces the ship tends to do this if you keep steering left and right at higher speeds 😅 its just an arma quirk, will see if it can be tuned but its unlikely, the lcc also has the same problem

# pastel nest afaik they always needed a different waypoint type, the transport unload is for ...

Not home rn cause 🦃 day, i could check again later. ‘transport unload’ will unload passengers with land vehicles, helicopters, and VTOLs (havent tried boats). If i remember correctly, It will also work with vehicle transport VTOLs and when completing their landing they will open the ramp and unload each vehicles or box one by one which i suppose is what i was expecting with LCC. I have pretty much never used the ‘vehicle unload’ waypoint. Drop cargo is exclusively for slingloading but was worth a try during testing.

My feedback on the 3-missions.

||I dig "Boots on the Ground". I like the recon feature - reminds me of Force Recon from Global Mobilization. The mission makes sense from a tactical perspective, and its open nature makes it very fun. The rocket "NLOS" support is rad and the camera is sick. I'm not sure if the Tank platoon OBJ is supposed to be a deliberate fail task. I'm not sure how you're supposed to tackle that one. They bounced after I smoked the first tank with an NLOS.

Forcible Entry was a nice idea but was a little buggy - 'Clearing the beach' means clearing like 300m inland to find some hidden units (were they supposed to be on a trigger? The next part makes you occupy a support by fire position to defend against a CATK. If you don't occupy the EXACT 5m area of the 'support by fire position' then you won't activate the trigger or the counter-attack. At two points the mission jumps ahead "5 minutes" to get the mission reset for the next phase. One the 2nd jump you are spawned directly into the line of fire of a recoilless rifle. If you're not quick then it could be a lesson in frustration.

Shores of Kavala was cool but it felt really shallow - I can imagine that this is clearly a limitation of ARMA. You're attacking Kavala: it's the second largest town on Altis but the attack is only 2x USMC squads supported by AAVs. Just feels a bit empty. In reality, Kavala would be a Battalion(+) sized objective. Some of the OBJs have hidden guys and that was kind of a pain to go snooping around for them. The hospital attack was really fun. I would have loved to see Kavala broken into 2 or 3 missions where the Marines were fighting room to room and block to block ||

pastel nest
#

||"I'm not sure if the Tank platoon OBJ is supposed to be a deliberate fail task" this one is hard to complete by design, however you can consider it successful even if just one is destroyed

"clearing like 300m inland" in our playthroughs that generally doesnt happen, probably its the QRF that was missed in mission 1 that was coming downhill from negades

"One the 2nd jump you are spawned directly into the line of fire of a recoilless rifle." i thought we fixed this during closed beta as others reported it, we moved the waypoint back already but im guessing that wasn't enough

"Just feels a bit empty." fair, having a big fight in there with lots of AI is not something all computers can handle, some complained it was a bit laggy as it is already

thank you for your feedback 🙏 ||

#

Also -

Forcible Entry - I get told that I can use the rearm point and then I'm getting told to get my ass back in the fight when I get there. I'd recommend changing the trigger zone for that one

pastel nest
#

at some point during the mission the rearm point gets moved ahead

#

||before the assault on Kore when you reach the checkpoint iirc||

still thicket
pastel nest
#

ok we'll look into it

still thicket
#

It flows a little weird. It would make more sense if the player jumped "5 minutes later" into a re-arm point with full ammo so that they could seamlessly continue the mission

The Mack has such a low ammo load. I was not in a position to attack Kore without a rearm. Maybe unique to me? The 50mm is fun to hold the trigger down.

pastel nest
#

||in my playthroughs i usually needed a rearm after the counterattack, there's not much armor beyond that point up until you get into kore proper, and even then its just nyxes which get torn to shreds by the 50mm||

still thicket
#

The DLC units are nice; the 3 missions are good, but it does feel like a tease.

I love the fact that western Altis is finally seeing some canonical action - I would love to have seen more though. An air assault into Orekastro, a tank battle in the valley east of Kavala, or a mission to highlight the new AH-99 variant (ode to A2's Death from Above). As I suggested earlier, multi-mission fight for Kavala - an ode to the traditional urban fighting of the USMC.

@pastel nest One more suggestion tho, i hope i don't seem like a pain in the ass....wouldn't it be better to have the marines using the M27 rifle instead? and the abrams as MBT? I've been looking at the armaverse as a whole and it seems the US military is just undoing years of budget cuts to try stopping CSAT, so based on real life samples you would expect the USMC to be receiving the least attention towards improvement and still using some old stuff. As i read somwhere: Marines make do!! if you want fancy equipment join the Army.

Having a strange issue, spawning the mack on water makes it such that it accelerates but it won't move, it's as if it's stuck on land mode. If you spawn on land then move on to water then it works okayish, but still it won't always go at full speed.

For example, spawn a couple Macks on water and give them a waypoint to shore, they won't move at all. Spawn them on land and give two waypoints, one into the water and one into the shore, they will move fine but not at full speed.

@pastel nest is there an event handler that checks when the mack has entered the water and "switches" mode or something of the sort?

pastel nest
#

if the AI is left to its own devices and just given a waypoint, it will be unable to use the IFV in water on its own, its an engine issue

as for going at full speed, the full speed in water is 46kph, how fast can it go for you?

5 km/h

pastel nest
#

there is a bit of scripting to animate the gun up and down to avoid clipping with the fording kit being deployed

#

there's no workaround, its just the AI that doesnt know what to do

#

the explanation i gave myself is that tracked vehicles want to turn on the spot to orient themselves towards their waypoint like they would on land, but in water the rudder doesnt work unless the vehicle is moving forward

#

it works fine if you're in the commander seat and issuing movement orders yourself

with WASD

another option is to use unitcapture/unitplay, in the campaign we did it that way
