yes you have access to SOG assets in Eden editor (if you buy SOG and load it)

Bonus sneak peek 3: The USMC UH-1E
Joining the fight for the US Marines are three new helicopter models covering each variant of the marine UH-1E helicopter.
There is a transport, a gunship and a heavy gunship, pictured, which has 8 M60 machine guns on board.

[quick jacinth]

"8 M60 on board" as in mounted or in inventory?

[buoyant narwhal]

mounted

just count the guns on the picture 😄

[quick jacinth]

oh two at the front is m60, i thought it was Minigun

[mystic crane]

much bacon

[unkempt notch]

can those also fit 40mm?

[quick jacinth]

or 20mm

[keen comet]

I highly doubt 20mm

No way a 20 mike is fitting into that turret, let alone the ammo

[hollow peak]

no, just twin m60s on the nose turret

[quick jacinth]

explosives bullets or just regular 7.62?

[hollow peak]

they didnt have explosive bullets

[hollow peak]

What did i just see?

[quick jacinth]

i just saw 5 msgs got deleted by valk

Bonus sneak peek #5:
Cam Lao Nam has received substantial building updates thanks to jack, m_kola and horriblegoat. You can now enjoy the streetscenes a whole lot more whether you are staging a battle scene, enjoying a soda in a cafe, or fighting to win back ground after Tet.
Oh and there’s this new car!

[hollow peak]

Do you know how many damn OG towels we gotta iron ready for rollout?

[cloud thicket]

You won't have many to iron if I steel them

[storm pawn]

Since the L1A1 and L2A1 are being added, the Norinco Type 63 rifle would be a good REDFOR counterpart to these. As for LMGs, the Type 67 and ZB vz.26 would make great additions for the NVA/VC forces.

[hollow peak]

We have a wishlist in our discord - just type !future there and you can add your suggestions where they will be processed and not ignored/ lost

[storm pawn]

[glossy quail]

Will we be getting the transport support in this update?

[buoyant narwhal]

Transport support?

[glossy quail]

When you call in for radio support you can ask for air, fire and transport

But transport cant get selected

[buoyant narwhal]

Where exactly? In what mission/ gamemode?

[midnight sphinx]

S.O.G should i get it

[exotic ice]

i am thinking about getting it too.

had to reason to buy it yet, as you cant really play it with friends unless they buy it too

[unkempt notch]

I'm just wondering why they did PT-76 and not T-55, like I'm not upset because like the tank, but from the perspective of having the Type 63 already it's confusing

[storm pawn]

maybe 1.3 will add M48/M60 and T-54/T-55 along with MiG-17 and/or MiG-21?

[mystic hill]

Want to grab the dlc but never see populated servers? Any ideas?

[unkempt notch]

I want to play Chizh - Phantom whilst in a MiG-21

[true stream]

joing SOG discord server and you'll find people to play with

[mystic hill]

Will do

[hollow peak]

we tend to release whatever is ready, there's not always strong logic in the choices

we don't have the luxury of planning a list of content and then having it all delivered by a deadline

[unkempt notch]

yeah fair enough I guess

[coarse kettle]

WHY DO I HAVE A 7 HOUR DOWNLOAD FOR SOG: PRARIE FIRE??

I DO NOT PLAY SOG PRARIE FIRE

[cloud meteor]

You probably bought the DLC or have the comp patch installed

[coarse kettle]

yeah I have the DLC

how can I fix that?

[cloud meteor]

Well there you go, new update

[coarse kettle]

can I just uninstall the DLC or something?

[true stream]

right click on your game in Steam -> Properties -> DLC -> disable SOG

should work

[coarse kettle]

ok thanks

[cloud meteor]

Give it a try, you already bought it, it's good

[normal marlin]

We're also making Mike Force and its supporting library “Paradigm” open source
where is the source code hosted?

[mossy siren]

It'll be up on Github later today. I'm just doing some final prep on the mission files.

[devout ravine]

am I going crazy or does the M203's GL sight lie to you

[spice river]

Oh God 30gb update for 1.2 dammmmn

[true stream]

update is smaller, you just have to redownload most of the thing

[spice river]

So what's the problem with it

[true stream]

encryption

[spice river]

What should I do

[true stream]

just download it all, that's how encrypted files behave unfortunately

[spice river]

Bruuuuh

[true stream]

if they change a single file in an ebo archive, you will have to download the whole ebo, not just that one file

I have an HDD so it takes 3 times longer to "write" than what I have to download lol

[spice river]

Alright thank you

[quick jacinth]

that 30GB also include fixes for old data

[plush arrow]

Is there any way to load the co op missions on a dedicated server?

[pulsar agate]

Update hypeer

[buoyant narwhal]

they should be part of the DLC package if you have set your server to use DLC branch

[craggy hatch]

Does anyone know of a list of all the new classnames from the update? I can see a list in the changelog here: https://community.sogpf.com/d/4-official-dlc-changelog/3 But no classnames...

[onyx yoke]

You can always check Config Viewer

[craggy hatch]

No worries, I just thought they might release classnames of all the assets. It seems like a big update.

[fresh hound]

Yet another reason to support you guys! Just wanted to tell you that it was with SOG the first time in my life when I felt bad buying a game/DLC at a discount. I mean it deserves the full price and then even some!

I hope the SOG team licences the Enfusion engine and releases as a stand alone game in the future 😉

[spark walrus]

Praise sog the best CDLC ever made, the amount ot content you guys put out is astounding

[paper prism]

Thanks for the kind words! It gives us devs a real buzz to know that what we're making is being enjoyed.

[mossy siren]

Mike Force and Paradigm are now both up on Github:
https://github.com/Savage-Game-Design/Paradigm
https://github.com/Savage-Game-Design/Mike-Force

However, they're currently under the original license - which allows changes to non-SQF files, and means you can't redistribute.

This is temporary. We're just finalising which open source license to release under. In the meantime, feel free to download the mission and play around.
We'll be updating the license within the next couple of days, and it's likely to be the case that (almost?) everything is on the table.
The only real restriction for the moment is, please don't convert Mike Force to use non-DLC units/vehicles - at least until we've got the new license published.

Have fun modding folks 🙂

[fresh sparrow]

AI all like to seem to climb to max height they can go with the jets it seems.

seemed to help it out a bit by giving both sides some ground based radars with data link though.

[hollow peak]

Sogpf.wiki.com iirc or google sogpf wiki or find it in the top banner of our website sogpf.com

[solemn plank]

hey there- im thinking of getting sogpf, how much gb should i clear to make space for the dlc?

[paper prism]

Approximately 31GB.

[solemn plank]

Thanks Apollo

[true halo]

Congratulations on the release of the 1.2 update

[hollow peak]

thank you - it has been 9 months of hard work from the team to achieve it. and bar a few glitches (which happen to even AAA titles) we're pretty pleased with the result.

[fickle holly]

where is the mg42

[buoyant narwhal]

it is a static gun emplacement (gun and base)

[fickle holly]

i see

[buoyant narwhal]

It was used in Laos but it was not used as man portable weapon due to it being too heavy

so it was used mounted

[fickle holly]

isnt it about the same weight as a pk?

[buoyant narwhal]

I was not there. Dunno more than I've been told about the history.

[fickle holly]

yeah me neither

[mental cedar]

11,6 kg for the 42 pkm is 7.5 dont remember what the pk is/ if its different from the pkm in weight

[fickle holly]

so little bit close

[nocturne grotto]

How BIG is the update vs the full DLC now? It says I need something like 30 GB FREE just to PATCH?! Or should I uninstall and reinstall the DLC instead? I don't have 30 GB free on my ARMA SSD!

[paper prism]

The update redownloads the whole DLC because it can't do incremental file patching due to the encryption on the files.
Total size of VN after download is around 31GB.

[buoyant narwhal]

Steam does need extra space for download and install too

[subtle pine]

Do the Australians have a voice protocol? Downloading the update right now

[nocturne grotto]

Yeh, that is what I was thinking. If I "uninstall the DLC and reinstall it", it will clear that 30 GB free for me. Thx.

[fresh hound]

And how many GB the installation occupied before the 1.2 update?

[nocturne grotto]

30.7 GB on the DLC folder right now before the update.

[hollow peak]

Payday 2 was always the worst for this - 200mb update and it would unpack 20gb of data and kill my ssd

[median sable]

It still does it 😄

And DayZ internal dev updates are also pretty terrible

[nocturne grotto]

FYI, I "uninstalled" the DLC from the STEAM | ARMA | PROPERTIES | DLC TAB - uncheck the DLC, let STEAM update and "delete" the DLC , freed up 30.7 GB, then check the DLC again to reinstall it. Completed. Better than to download the "update" and need ANOTHER 30 GB. In case anyone has the same issue.

[storm pawn]

not sure why but the Veteran mod seems to be incompatible with SOG:PF, the AKs from that mod aren't available when SOG:PF is loaded. any idea why this happens?

[buoyant narwhal]

some sort of config conflict

or

@storm pawn for context, available where?

[storm pawn]

the AKs from Veteran mod cannot be used when SOG:PF is loaded

[buoyant narwhal]

what exactly does "cannot be used mean"

[hollow peak]

what are the classnames of their aks i wonder

[cold raft]

The mod prefix couldn't possibly be vn_ could it...

[buoyant narwhal]

it is possible

[wheat coyote]

Actually looks like they use VTN, for example VTN_AKMS_TUNED

huh yeah it seems most aks just dont show up?

[haughty nova]

Hey all, can someone please drop me a link to the new campaign missions. i have scanned over the patch notes and the website but can not see them anywhere... any help is greatly appreciated!

[buoyant narwhal]

they are packaged withing the dlc

[haughty nova]

thank you Goat for the info i will go there now and look them up... many thanks!

[buoyant narwhal]

@haughty nova you just run them from within the game

or if you run server, the servers DLC files need to be updated so that they can be used on the server

you cant extract them

[haughty nova]

yeah i have it installed and updated on the server and running buddy i could just not source the new mission parameters to use and never thought to look inside the damned files.. been a long day but i thank you greatly for pointing me in the right direction and for you wise advice

[buoyant narwhal]

they are ebo, cant look inside them

and in case you have hobbies like that Id recommend you stop

[haughty nova]

no i do not buddy, i would not go near them if they are off limits... i have enough trouble maintaining my damned servers thanks very much

thanks again for your help Goat, i will load them up now "through the game" and then retrieve the mission names 👍

[storm pawn]

Yup

[spark walrus]

I so called the F-100D and Mig-19 being added to this DLC

I think the addition of the MI-24A would really suite this DLC

Its different enough that you cant really find it in mods and historically accurate for the time

[unkempt notch]

I hope the update make more active this cdlc servers

[wheat coyote]

Was it used in Vietnam? I feel like I remember that being talked about in our discord but it being concluded that it wasnt

[spark walrus]

I think it was in the area

Not sure if it was combat deployed have to do some research

Im trying to think of a decent opfor helo that isnt overdone already like the normal MI-24s or the MI-8s

I think they were used in Cambodia

The Mi-24A was extensively used by the Vietnam People's Air Force in the Cambodian–Vietnamese War against the Khmer Rouge. The gunships destroyed many of their bases and outposts up until 1986, when KR forces were driven to the border of Thailand.```

Seems it was used right after the war

Big sad

[hollow peak]

when we run out of the cool stuff from the war to make, an mi24a would be a cool addition

[cloud thicket]

Air Cav hats

[dreamy crater]

Is there any way to drop bombs in the f-4 from the pilot seat or just use the f-4 solo

[buoyant narwhal]

yes.

details have been posted at sogpf discord a few times if I remember right

[dreamy crater]

Kk

[dreamy crater]

Do you know where I can find it?

[buoyant narwhal]

no sorry

I just know its been exlpained a few times

[dreamy crater]

Ok

[spark walrus]

Dont you just put it on manual fire

[dreamy crater]

There is no option for manual fire

[buoyant narwhal]

correct

the gunner is now the commander of the plane (to fix certain issues it had)

you should be able to add bombs to pilot via the master arms menu

at least in Mike Force

[night hollow]

You’ll be busy! There was heaps of cool stuff used during the war!

[uneven cairn]

Hey I found a bug, while trawling through the editor I found a version of the new M14A1 but with painted camo, it does not appear in the loadout menu and cannot fit the bipod modification but it is there

actually quite a few weapons are not able to be found in the arsenal but can be found in the editor

such as the M14 that has the XM name

[compact crest]

Is this on Mike Force by any chance?

[uneven cairn]

No, editor

[hollow peak]

Its a limitation of the arsenal- weapons with pre-attached accessories do not show up in arsenal ever

[vague canyon]

I don't think that's necessarily true, I think ČSLA has a M21 that shows up in the Arsenal with a scope attached by default

But basically what Skellaguinius pointed out is, there are several subvariants of weapons that are hidden, right? But they can be recreated in Arsenal as well, it's just about applying different attachments, correct?

(The hidden weapons are just pre-modified with attachments by default is what I mean)

[wheat coyote]

I cant remember right now, is the CSLA M21 one object that is rifle and scope combined or does it 'spawn' with the scope as a seperate object?

[vague canyon]

The scope is a removable attachment if that's what you mean

[deep wagon]

no, attachment

[wheat coyote]

Ah ye

[deep wagon]

yes, but it only shows with the attachment, not without

[vague canyon]

Yeah, whenever it's re-selected the scope pops up again

I think

[deep wagon]

yep

[vague canyon]

Right, I don't understand the backend modding unfortunately

[deep wagon]

it's because the first visible class in the inheritance has the scope

[vague canyon]

But I'm correct that there are no unique "hidden" weapons in SOG, right? The "hidden" variants are just weapons with pre-applied attachments for easier config use for soldier classes, correct?

Or are you keeping sekrits from us 👀

[deep wagon]

arsenal will only show the first weapon in the inheritance chain with a unique model

though you can override that

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Weapon_Config_Guidelines#Virtual_Arsenal_visibility if anyone needs it

[spark steeple]

where's the golden m16?

[hollow peak]

super-rare loot box item

[vague canyon]

You need to shoot down 3 Hueys with a single punji stick, then the golden M16 has a percentage chance to drop from one of the pilots

[last raven]

🤨

strange

[unkempt notch]

I dont like the m16 model... the carring handle is too wide

its perspective...

[unkempt notch]

no its scaling, it becomes more apparent when you compare it side by side with other m16s

[buoyant narwhal]

[sharp shard]

Anyone has any tips for the eldest son II mission? My friend and I have been looking for 2h for the depot but we can't find it

We even highjacked a VC car and went looking 😂

[hollow peak]

Look at the map closely

And mark suspected clearings/ buildings

Its a recon mission after all

[sharp shard]

Found it

Didn't know it would be over there 😂

[sharp shard]

The napalm looks so good tho, I love it

[uneven cairn]

No, it's an entirely new weapon

They all were in the arsenal after I picked them up and went to a arsenal counted as new and different weapons rather than just nodded existing ones

Unless for whatever reason my game can't detect the M14A1 painted camo amongst other rifles

[last raven]

the m14a1 shouldnt have a 'camo painted' option

only camo wrap (aka some branches and foliage around the gun)

[uneven cairn]

#screenshots_arma

The rifles are all counted as their own individual entities with unique names

but for whatever reason they aren't in the arsenal

[hollow peak]

I already posted the likely reason earlier. Not sure if it answers your question. I think it should.

[last raven]

@uneven cairn could you show how you got that to show up? I'm intrigued

I just got really confused at the m14a1

[uneven cairn]

there is also some other weapons like the XM16E1 which I wasn't sure if it was in the arsenal

[hollow peak]

Facts help

[true stream]

can't wait for these in next update

[vague canyon]

Oh no

More Hueys

😄 😄

[hollow peak]

No budget for more hueys

Priorities!

[vague canyon]

Huey: Prairie Fire
(Some ground forces present as a bonus)

😄

[hollow peak]

It felt like that working on them - 14 models total

[vague canyon]

And i think only you and the chief designer at Bell know all the differences😄

I'm joking of course, happy to see them in 😉

[cold raft]

When in doubt, ADD MORE HUEYS

After all, you can't play Fortunate Son without a vehicle to carry some big speakers on, can you.

This reminds me, I haven't seen a UH-1H in the DLC, but they seem to have gotten into service in time for the Vietnam war... perhaps soon? 😄

[hollow peak]

No budget for more hueys

i.e. if we make any more helicopters they won't be hueys

[cold raft]

Well, I guess it ain't me!

[cloud thicket]

Make a Huey but with forklift launchers

[zenith sail]

am a big arma fan but havent jumped to SOG yet. looks really cool but wonder if there is a player base to actually do missions and coop. is there an active SOG community?

[buoyant narwhal]

there are sog playing groups yes

the SOGPF discord might be best place to start looking

[spark walrus]

cant wait to finally try fully released Mike Force!

[frank oak]

Hey does SOG come with a campaign if so how is it? Also would you guys say it's worth the buy?

[spark walrus]

ya its like an apex campaign meant to be played in coop

[spark walrus]

why does the OH-6A fly like a complete brick and barely get off the ground

[buoyant narwhal]

should not, no one else has had issues as far as we know

[slate talon]

Absolutely, 3 new maps, countless new vehicles and weapons, new SFX and VFX, new MP based campaign and missions based off actual SOG missions, active community support from the Devs themselves and a chance to talk to and hear from actual SOG vets, 2 big updates since its release adding even more content so far.... It's worth every penny

[last raven]

It does not? My shot is you fly with the MELB (mh-6m, now in rhs). It is indeed way lighter than the cayuse, (but take into account that it’s prob lighter, has a new engine, 5 blades instead of 4 and so on)

[unkempt notch]

maybe with the advanced flight model the oh 6 flys badly, MP makes AFM impossible anyway and all the helicopters fly like they are over loaded. (afm does not take advantage of fuel and ammo loads, only personnel)

I feel like the jets are a bit too good on acceleration and speed
with the mig 19 it's possible to climb up straight vertical and still accelerate until around mach 1.5

[buoyant narwhal]

with or without the afterburner?

[keen comet]

with

but even with enabled afterburner, that is far too fast to be realistic.
mig 19 barely reached mach 1.2 in horizontal flight at high altitude

[fresh hound]

I find all the SOG weapons reload animations to be pretty amazing... so what happened to the Type 56 Assault Rifle Reload Anim? It is the only weapon with subpar reload animation

[cloud meteor]

It's not bad, it probably just want to depict how they used to reload the gun at the time, no flashy tactical stuff

[fresh hound]

You mean how they used to reload tactically at the time by making the magazine teleport instantly out of existence both on extraction and then again when inserting the new magazine into the weapon?

[cloud meteor]

What magazine teleport

[fresh hound]

Have you tried the weapon's reload animation? The second you hit R the magazine disappears out of thin air almost instantly. That is not the case with the other weapons...

[cloud meteor]

Oh, some other weapons have this issue too, M3 I remember, but didn't really bother me much

It's Arma after all

[fresh hound]

So for 95% of SOG's weapons it is not Arma? Just for those two exceptions?

[cloud meteor]

Actually you can see the character uses magazine catch while reloading Type 56, it's very detailed

What I mean by Arma is , I don't expect it to have perfect animation

[fresh hound]

What is "Magazine catch"?

[fresh hound]

You are clearly mistaking Mods from cDLCs... for Mods it is Ok to have subpar animations and teleporting magazines because it is hard to animate properly for Arma... yes... but for Paid content you expect vanilla quality. (Of course one can argue that SOG has so much content that some subpar content can be forgiven)

[cloud meteor]

Also if you really want to let them know in the backlog, submit a feedback on the tracker, they have fixed smaller issues than reloading animation from what I reported

they even fixed the ejection port bug on M1 carbine which probably no one else would cared

[fresh hound]

I just wanted to hear from one of the devs regarding that particular issue... I am not even a regular user of that weapon...

[hollow peak]

Would you say the 1.2 update makes the cdlc more sp friendly? Or did they update anything related to sp gameplay experience?

[strong hinge]

I tried landing on the embassy and it cracked in half

#screenshots_arma

[hollow peak]

yeah known issue, already fixed pending hotfix confirmation

along with the lack of tracker spawning caused by a BI function that breaks if -debug is not enabled on your server

and a few other known issues

[spark walrus]

Its not view distance theres entire towns de rendering leaving the landscape barren

[buoyant narwhal]

then it could be some deeper hardware related issue

definitely not common for such to happen

[spark walrus]

Its weird cause i just did a fresh install

[sleek storm]

Does anyone know any good groups to join if I want to play as regular infantry in Vietnam?

[wheat coyote]

I recommend having a look at the pinned discord

[fallow meadow]

[onyx yoke]

The same answer just written above applies

[median sable]

Send me the .mdmp file in your RPT folder

!rpt

[slim spire]

Arma RPT

Arma generates a .rpt log file each time it's run, which contains a lot of information like the loaded mods, or any errors that appear, this log file can be very useful for troubleshooting problems.

To get to your RPT files press Windows+R and enter %localappdata%/Arma 3

Additionally see the wiki page for more info: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Crash_Files

To share an rpt log here, please use a website like https://sqfbin.com/ to upload the full log, that way the people helping you can take a look at it and try to figure out the problem you're having together with you.
Note: RPT logs can hold personal information relevant to your system, the game or others.

[drifting galleon]

i cant send file it too big

@median sable

[median sable]

pack it in zip

[hollow peak]

beware of alt-tabbing - as a general rule - arma 3 is unstable if alt tabbing when not playing in full-windowed or windowed mode. that causes 90% of crashes from new owners

[drifting galleon]

How to fix?

[buoyant narwhal]

play in borderless window or always hit esc before alt tabbing or dont alt tab out

[median sable]

A stack overrun doesn't sound like alt tab, sounds like something in engine is infinitely recursing

[hollow peak]

ok, just making sure people are aware of it in case

[median sable]

I would still like to get that crashdump so I can see whats going on

[dry badger]

Lmao bans me from the discord for speaking up about the shit quality of the dlc

[hollow peak]

we ban anyone who is abusive and disobeys warnings. we have a healthy approach to bug-fixing and reporting (as can be seen by the extensive changelog for 1.2)
good riddance to you sir.

[night plinth]

Weird, because I think it's the best made of the DLC's.

[hollow peak]

Dont feed the trolls eh

[unkempt notch]

Based dlc

[quick jacinth]

yes based on Vietnam war

[fringe vector]

hey anybody know why my friend is getting a black screen when trying to launch arma with sog DLC?

[drifting galleon]

I can fix it yeahhhhh

[hollow peak]

Possibly battleye not initialising, or else he alt tabbed and wasnt in full window mode?

[fringe vector]

maybe

[lucid wave]

What is the discord of this dlc?

[buoyant narwhal]

https://discord.gg/KwNmfjUK3a

also in the pinned messages on the channel

@lucid wave

[still sentinel]

Anyone got any tips on bombing in the supersabre?

The phantom has the bomb computer which is sweet, is there anything like that in the sabre?

[hollow peak]

Yeah ctrl right click

[lucid wave]

Thx

[still sentinel]

oh I must be blind, I'll have to look again to see where it displays

[hollow peak]

Mig also has it

[hidden scaffold]

They meant bombing computer telling you if you're on target. Only F4 has it.

All planes have bombing optics.

[still sentinel]

Yeah I see it now. What's the best way to use the bombing optic? Is there some kidna chart for altitude and speed or something I can follow?

[buoyant narwhal]

practice im afraid 😅

[still sentinel]

yknow... that works for me. Nothing like the satisfaction of good hits that come from time and effort

[buoyant narwhal]

If you do come up with any tips do share! They can be helpful with other aspiring pilots

[true stream]

Tip #1: Press 2xV to apply ultra-velocity

[strong hinge]

I was coming back from the first sog mission and my friend fraged us

this was after 3 hours of playing

[hollow peak]

Doesnt sound like a good friend lol

Re the ctrl right click - line up on your target at between 300 and 2000m alt and a speed of 350-500 km/h

Watch the little cross approach your target and pickle your bomb as the cross passes onto it

Ctrl right click again to go back to plane control and watch behind you and see your impact

[strong hinge]

it was right after he yelled at us to stop being ret ards and then he miss clicked

[hollow peak]

Hilarious. Im pretty sure ive done the same

[last raven]

great advice, set your grenade throw bind to 2xG instead of 1xG as standard

so you gotta double click G (thus, 'confirming' your intentions) to throw it

that way you'll stop fragging by accident

[hollow peak]

i have it on the button behind my mouse wheel

[hidden scaffold]

In my unit mods we have a component that nags you with a popup about rebinding it upon missions start 😄

You can click "ok, rebind" which opens rebinding screen or something like "I do not want to rebind and in case I kill my squad I will face consequences" (choice saved in profile)

Decreased amount of the accidents by quite a lot 😂

[hollow peak]

so clever!

[buoyant narwhal]

@noble bison lets no sink down to such insults

[noble bison]

my bad

[spark walrus]

Okay so its cool that VC spawns when you're trying to get wrecks in Mike Force... but having to fight 4 people every 10 seconds while getting a wreck is starting to get old

Like this gotta be a bug dude im fighting more VC than the AOs even spawn in

[slate talon]

I'd head over to their discord and make a bug report about it if you feel it's bugged.

[tardy thistle]

Anyone want to run something

[buoyant narwhal]

there is some mike force running for example

for SOGPF stuff best place to ask around is the SOGPF discords looking for game channels

[quick jacinth]

is there a Helmet with peace symbol and Born to kill written on the side in SOG?

[graceful shoal]

Curious. What's the chances of ya all uploading two of your modules to the steam workshop?

[buoyant narwhal]

Probably slim?

[graceful shoal]

It's the garrison one and the other one needed for it

Would love to use it for other missions but don't necessarily want to have the dlc loaded up aswell

[buoyant narwhal]

It's kinda the point of the dlc to be used 😅
