This desert stuff reminds me of the Batman vs Superman desert scene with the mercenaries.

still nova
#

the western sahara dlc is the most excited I've been for a dlc since apex

heady knot
#

It needs a whole fucking terabyte personalized SSD for it.

#

VBS

lavish lynx
#

My case has like at least 6 ssd trays, I'll rent out the space to whoever wants it.

cunning junco
#

I don't know why this specific topic goes into speculation (aka clickbait) chat

hallow widget
#

not again ... please, this is not a VBS channel ...

#

Or even Arma 4 channel

#

Or is it?

#

Will Western Sahara get post-release content or is it only going to see bug fixes for the most part?

hallow widget
#

nobody knows at this point in time.

#

depends on many factors.

old night
#

let me guess one of the factors is... Mony?

hallow widget
#

it's just a small factor, but yes

civic grove
#

Will this CDLC be like the others or will it integrate the new content into the base game. I know that the other CDLC have not done that but this one is so similar to the base game in time period that it might be possible?

little frost
#

it will be like the other CDLCs

gentle mirage
#

Im hyped for This dlc, even if its Just for the Memes

#

Idc If its gonna be good or Bad i want it anyways

gaunt scaffold
#

I'm just hyped for another release because it's another fine addition to my collection...

#

And it's not a hefty price tag either.

#

And sure, people might be tired of desert environments, but the dunes look so awesome.

thick silo
#

It’s a new desert tho

gaunt scaffold
#

I'm just going to jump the dunes with an ATV for hours.

thick silo
#

Most desert environments are rocky like Afghanistan

#

never dunes before

gaunt scaffold
#

Oh yeah, for sure.

lucid moth
#

And the camels blobcloseenjoy

gaunt scaffold
#

Someone told me, "Who cares about 2035" and I'm over here like... I find it interesting, Yo.

#

And yes, omg the camels.

#

Can we use the attachto feature and put a machine-gun on them? Go all Iron Harvest War Camels on our enemies? 🤣 Or are they just like the roaming animals like the rabbits and snakes, etc?

#

I want the Marshall command variant to have my babies

gaunt scaffold
#

I'm over here jittering for the release. It says "Later this year." We literally only have this month and next month left before 2022. Also yeah, totally. I know what you mean.

coarse rivet
#

The camels alone are worth the price to me. Animating animals is very difficult and time consuming so there's not much choice when it comes to wildlife.

A Dune mod would be amazing

Interested in hosting this dlc. Will see what fun can be done to make a good game play.

@hallow widget when can we see some screenshots of the new UI like the Squad UI?

hallow widget
#

new ui?

snow haven
# hallow widget new ui?

Ohhh my bad, I thought there was a squad UI were you could learn the background of your ION operatives and such... hire them, make them rest etc

hallow widget
#

we didn't add features like this to keep it simple for the coop gameplay

#

ai party members do level up and get more skilled, but there is no dedicated ui for that

viral halo
#

will RHS and other equipment/weapon mods work with the coop scenarios provided?

#

Im looking forward to the extraction so I want to know if I can also loot guns from mods

when will the dlc NOT drop?

#

🤔

robust tapir
#

Depends on whether you handle it correctly

#

For example: stumbling when holding it may cause it to drop

#

So you better watch out

cold holly
#

The DLC knows when it will drop at all times. It knows this because it knows when it won't drop.

A DLC never drops late, a DLC drops exactly when it means to.

Is the term "dronesnipercheck" now accurate?

Possibly so.

I don't think the drones have sniper rifles unfortunately

They said it would have a modular weapon system, so maybe a sniper rifle is part of that.

#

ok, not the middle - evening, aka, after normal office hours

old night
#

what if its in West Sahara timezone?

trim kiln
#

IF it's released at 2pm EST, as suggested above, that would be either 7 or 8pm in Western Sahara (the disputed region crosses timezones)

#

if you're talking about the 'country' of Western Sahara, rather than the region, then it's 8pm

plush marlin
#

Our most common target or window for A3 releases is 14:00-15:00 CET (Amsterdam / Prague ), but it's always dependent on many factors, so no guarantees until it's actually live 😎

grave garnet
#

Hey, as long as it's coming.

#

I know people who are throwing money at their screen and nothing is happening 😄

pulsar blade
#

Is there a ſcript you touch that lets everything open, or does ſomeone have to go do everything manually, I wonder ?

plush marlin
#

If you mean for the release processes, it's a combination of automation and manual flips (more so for initial releases or when we need Valve to do a final step < another reason for the timing, because they are in Seattle USA).

pulsar blade
#

Oh, that’s intereſting. Thank you for explaining ! That is what I was curious about.

dire anvil
#

Is there somebody at valve who manually has to press a button fir every game that launches?

plush marlin
#

They have done great improvements over the years to allow developers to do almost everything themselves, especially for established apps. There are a few cases left where they do need to do some final button press / greenlight. But even if they don't, we prefer to do release activities when they are in the office in case support is needed 🙂

I like how vanilla North African CSAT units got their stuff replaced with gear from WS. Good for consistency.

steep tundra
#

well I think the map is kind of small

#

still luv the drone tho

hallow widget
#

technical limitations. bigger map -> bigger cell size -> less terrain details -> worse looking dunes. we picked the 100km² terrain size because it's the maximum we could do without having everything look like simple hills.

#

that said, even if someone doesn't like the terrain for whatever reason, i think the rest of the content still makes up for the price.

tawny panther
#

Nah, the terrain is definitely godtier

steep tundra
#

good work nonetheless, I'm here for "extraction"

Does the DLC contain any SP content

Even without the towns/details/etc, the sand dunes alone are really beautiful and true to life

It shouldn't be very hard to script a basic EMP device. Hold action to set it off, all it does is find every UAV within x radius and setDamage 1 or remove all the fuel. Doing it with the bluetooth gun would be harder, the scripting to make that work like it does in the campaign is complicated, but possible.

you can use the compatibility patch on the workshop so people don't have to buy it

The 'rebuilt' one adds six Editor modules to add simulated functionality, albeit it only displays detected signals without having 'listening in' and 'transmit' capability

#

The older one instead has a SP showcase mission using a pair of MP-intended/tested scripts (multiplayer tested with 120+ players on server and 20+ devices working and nearly 20 signal sources) that you can use yourself when mission-making, and one of these scripts includes a simulated jamming capability

Whenever I try & change the weapon on the gun drone in-game, it'll change the model, but the weapon is still registered as a MK200.

The gun drone with a Zafir is very accurate. There is a small CCIP crosshair below the large one, this shows bullet aim point. This works out to 900m. Very good countersniper weapon. This CDLC should be merged into main game TBH. It is only 3.7 GiB.

How do the shields work, like dual-equipping with a primary of your choice or like the shield+m9 thing?

Then again, its actually looking better in terms of stuff than iron curtain for me. And i really wanted something East/West german related.

#

The ballistic shield is more of a "modern FPS" inspired tactical shield, from the looks of it.
Any data on its armor/durability? Like what goes through, what stops it, etc?

Does the drone MG not have recoil ? I dont see much of that in videos. o0

I installed the compatibility data and can see the map in 3den and it is freaking huge. I get Star Wars Tatooine vibes from it. 😄 I think for SciFi, this terrain can be a really useful. Love the XM8. Beautiful actually. The shield looks great but I have not been able to test it out thoroughly yet in VR. Ballistic mask looks like it came out of Army of Two but did not test ballistics protection on it yet. I am on the fence about it even tho the price is good as I am thinking where we should use it. I will review videos of the gameplay mode first.

Me checking Western Saharah few days ago Q4 2021

me coming back after 3 day break from ARMA 3 I wonder what the latest mods are WEstern Saharah Compatability

Great job on the CDLC! Honestly I like it a ton from what I've been able to check out so far, the price seems appropriate for what you get and the assets blend in neatly with vanilla.

#

Like many of the CDLCs, this blows the vanilla DLC's out of the water with it's price to content ratio.

chilly arch
#

Keeping in mind that none of the CDLCs got to have hardcoded engine improvements, everything's scripted or module'd up...

#

and the coop campaign is not as bad as old man in terms of fps

old delta force was really nice. though i feel like it didnt age very well

WS also received a engine fix specifically for the CDLC

@hallow widget, cheers for the shields in Last Stand! @tall plaza and myself survived 0.5 waves more with them 😅

# trim kiln Should be WS - in caps

Windows does not care about case size and in my experience arma server has all folders lower case, so no. Lowercased ws should be safer to use everywhere.

trim kiln
#

It's not. It doesn't work on Linux (client)

I'm loving the new content, guys. Great work!

The map is awesome! It doesn't really feel like anything we've had before

@hallow widget I was referring to the client, not the server

oh, ok. then i don't know

trim kiln
#

in reference to veteran29's comment that it doesn't matter if you use -mod=ws or -mod=WS 🙂 Only the latter works

#

-mod=ws does not work because the folder name is WS, not ws

Having messed about with the compat addon I must say that it would be nice if the assets were implemented into the game in a similar fashion to contact.

Is this DLC fun?

#

its 50gb?!

brave mantle
#

no it is not

#

its 4 gb

olive pumice
#

o, is the recommended including the base game?

#

is there anyway to see the download size on steam besides just the recommended disk space?

reef salmon
#

it's 3.67 gbs

olive pumice
#

thanks, but how can you tell that from the steam page? I've always just gone off the recommendations

reef salmon
#

It's from the size of the dlc folder in my arma folder.

prime ember
olive pumice
#

is there anyway to see that before downloading?

#

before downloading, yes, while you try to install it will say so.

#

before buying, nope.

actually

#

no nvm, steamdb doesn't show info of file size.

lol so there really is no way to tell before buying? that seems silly

It's shown on the steam page but it's usually wrong afaik

I think that only counts for the workshop.

olive pumice
#

no it only shows recommended disk space

#

theres been a couple times its been wildly wrong

#

i have shit tier internet so its kinda frustrating

#

that seems like pertinent information idk what the reason could be not to disclose that

it shows recommended disk space for when you have the base game too

#

well i meant as in terms of quality bro

#

bc the vietnam dlc was arguably one of the best dlcs to drop and could be its own game

reef salmon
#

I'd argue its quality was pretty inconsistent but that's not exactly relevant, in terms of western sahara it's meant to compliment vanilla content, not necessarily replace it like glob mob and SOG.

prisma tulip
#

i feel like i just payed for a vanilla game of arma 3

#

wowwwww

#

the nato uniforms didnt even fucking change

#

LMAO this has got to be the laziest dlc theyve dropped

#

and to think i was hyped asf for it

reef salmon
#

I meant in terms of not being a total overhaul.

#

for its price it was well worth it for me.

#

I've spent far more for less.

I was hyped for thing like the XMS, etc, and I was satisfied with the CDLC overall. It filled alot of Niche's in NATO'S overall Armament, ATGM Marshsall,etc.

For the 5 bucks it currently is, It's very much so worth it.

The CDLC was worth a buy honestly. Lots of content for $5 wasnt bad.

subtle meteor
#

I did the inevitable comparison with other weapons mod and I have to say I am impressed with that XMS the most. I compared CUP, RHS, Niarms and DLC/cDLC. Everything is completely polished better than vanilla ARMA 3 quality. It is up there with the best content. I am on the fence because it is so light and unsure of the terrain... I am going to check with the 3 clans I play with to see if they will host a server for the Extraction mode...

reef salmon
#

It's a 4 player gamemode

#

Def not clan-targeted

subtle meteor
#

I just bought it. It came out to less than $5 USD for me and it met my Pizza game money criteria - if it gives me about the same satisfaction as a good slice of pizza, I buy it. Plus the clan I play with just put up an Escape server for this cDLC! Downloading now and congrats to Lexx and team again. It is just SO polished and look forward to using that XMS!

#

don't bootlick bi. It's one of those companies that lost best modders in the world due to their policies.
Dayz, Battle royale, Breakingpoint to name a few
Now we have a 50% cut which makes modder creations cost 50% more and only the "chosen ones" can monetize their work. This dlc should not cost more than 3$

rain willow
cunning junco
#

Had to agree 50:50 is not a fair amount of money in my opinion, but hey

Selling a product is not done just by making it but sell it

hallow widget
#

i really don't want to comment on money, for obvious reasons, but these 2-3$ opinions always make me wonder how the hell people expect creators to break even. we know arma has sold millions of copies, but expecting cdlcs to sell a million+ copies sound like fantasy to me. with a price tag of 2/3$ you end up making cents after all deductions including tax. and even one simple weapon can produce quite some costs already. to me it is simply not feasible to expect huge amount of content for such a price tag.

#

that said, people are paying hundreds of dollars for single fortnite skins, but we are not allowed to get paid for our work...

fallow raft
# hallow widget i really don't want to comment on money, for obvious reasons, but these 2-3$ opi...

lesser cost - easier to sell.
I won't be buying and hosting server with this mod due to 6$ price tag, though I considered it. My fair price is around 3$ for the amount of content it brings. If you think I'm alone here - look at amount of servers supporting cdlcs.
It's barely about me, I just think about players whom I shall convince to buy something in order to be equal in multiplayer environment. I like the content in this mod though. Few stuff but the quality is nice + it fits in various mods, unlike coldwar&ww2 stuff.

hallow widget
#

yeah, i heard that argument before. selling more for less doesn't mean you make more money, though. you could still just barely get by.

#

it's a gamble nonetheless

from pure cost point of view, no. but that's expected. it's like 2 days since release, numbers don't mean much right now.

Is it intended for the new Up armoured kasatka's (Orca) to not use the same textures as the base game CSAT one? (And vice versa)?
I know it can be done via commands to retexture it, but wasn't sure if it should also be an option in the virtual garage.

rain willow
#

but they both use the same. Each one has Black, Black Custom and Hex/Opfor textures in the virtual garage

note however that the left side of the airframe uses a separate texture sheet so that writings dont appear mirrored, so it's not exactly 1:1 with the base game model

Hi, I bought the Western Sahara DLC. Why can I not use this beautiful titan missile Marshal in vanilla? The extra storage space required for it to be added to vanilla is worth it. I do believe that you miss out on a good sales opportunity here. It should work the same way as trying to get into a fighter jet or tank when you do not already have them. Think about what that will do to the sales figures 🙂

For CDLC Western Sahara developers.

I would like to congratulate you on the wonderful work you have done.

I've only played the "Extraction" scenario for a couple of hours and I have to say that I'm having a lot of fun. The atmosphere is wonderful and even if you haven't brought anything new (such as type of assignments / missions) the whole scenario is really fun, engaging and well done. Having it set in the lore of Arma 3 is a sublime touch, which I have been waiting for for a long time. I would be willing to purchase these types of expansions every month. The map, although not huge, is beautiful. I can't wait to try it all in co-op and try out the multiplayer scenarios.

I think the best compliment an Arma player can give is the following: you made me forget, for a few pleasant hours, waiting for Arma 4.

I have a request regarding the Offroad, but can a gunshield and optionally an optic be added to the Offroad truck that was up armored? To complete that armored look of course

hallow widget
#

isnt it already there?

#

Can someone link me to all the classnames for this cDLC so we can incorporate it into loot tables in other game modes?

cunning junco
#

What classNames? Vehicles? Weapons?

subtle meteor
#

Vehicles, Weapons, optics, ammo, gear and buildings structures. This is so we can add it to Ravage or Escape loot tables.

#

you could add scope >= 1 or scope == 2 for vehicles and weapons to get valid ones

cunning junco
#

That also

or use regex for lxws

huh, i'm pretty sure our variant has the shield and rail as well

works for me?

i also see it in the virtual garage

Oh yeah, true. IDK why I missed that, probably because I'm drunk enough

hallow widget
#

guess it's easy to miss because there is so much "Hide x"

steady cairn

Does it work for the optics too?

serene bolt
#

yes it's "hide rail"

Ah, wow

Thanks 🙂

Hello, can the Western Sahara CDLC be installed via the dlc creator branch? Because I don't see western sahara listed on steamdb depots

serene bolt

that's exactly how you install it

client depot is 1681170, server depot is 233786. the server depot is included with the creatordlc branch

I have a couple questions about the Extraction game mode.

  1. It looks like the "hold space to advance" to skip the intro cutscene doesn't work. I'm holding it down for several seconds and it never works.

  2. In multiplayer there's a parameter for premium content. What does that do? I figured this dlc would already have that on and don't see what the purpose of that parameter.

reef salmon
#

enables use of other DLC content within the mission

#

apex DLC aks for enemies for example

fresh nymph
#

I imagine in singleplayer since there's no option to select it, it just checks if you have any dlc on and uses them if you do?

ashen scaffold
#

where are th PBO files located for the WS mission???

placid widget

They are ebo and can not be unpacked.

They'd be in the main Arma Folder -> WS

ashen scaffold

ahhh sHIT okay

was looking forward to see how the mission was made

steady cairn

what's with the High Ping times on WS 20 player servers with nobody on them?

It should be the same one as in vanilla Arma

Ok makes sense, I've changed my default action to "F" but it still says space. I tried other buttons but didn't think to do that. No way to make it display the actual keybind?

rocky steppe
#

it seems the 'desert' module is not working in multiplayer instances (or moreso is only working locally)

#

I was trying it with a friend the other night and they could see the effects on their machine but I couldn't, upon loading the same scenario myself I'd then see the particles and effects of said module

hallow widget
#

yes it only works locally

mystic palm

any way to save in coop?

Use this scripting command in your own mission to get map icons.

_nul = call lxWS_fnc_mapIcons;

Use this scripting command to get the motion sensor squad radar.

[] call lxWS_fnc_showSensor;

Put these commands into the initPlayerLocal.sqf These should be helpful.

This map is so good as a star wars map, really feels at home. Really good as an alternative to modded maps, feels much more polished overall. Throw a couple cruisers up in the air, and voila

lament lake
#

How do you see how much money you have in the Extraction campaign

#

feel like i'm missing something cause it kind of just plonks you down in the desert with some tasks which is fine but also presumably i'm not supposed to assemble a 100 man platoon to do every task

#

aaah is the whole point that the tasks arent supposed to be completed

#

you just look for intel and stuff

#

because how are 4 people in a pickup truck supposed to defend against like 3 tanks attacking a checkpoint

plush marlin
lament lake
#

aaah thanks

hallow widget
#

yes, in middle / top of the inventory

lament lake
#

makes me think i've missed a tutorial hmm

hallow widget
#

checkpoint defense task is optional™️ :p

lament lake
#

and what about the 'tanks everywhere' thing

#

ah right ok that makes more sense

#

ngl the missions dont really seem achievable with 4 infantry soldiers

hallow widget
#

it depends a lot on your playstyle. it can be pretty easy or pretty hard. keep in mind you have access to the whole arsenal

#

if in doubt, pack a mortar, or some launchers into a car and drive to the mission area, etc

lament lake
#

right but

#

idk

#

i hoped it was guerilla warfare

#

rather than the standard arma 'bring everything you can carry'

#

like irl surely you just send some people to go look at it and dont go over there if there's a tank platoon

#

idk maybe i need to focus more on scavenging bodies etc

hallow widget
#

your ai team mates will also level up and get a lot better at what they are doing.

lament lake
#

ah right

#

yeah idk normally these kinds of campaigns have a fixed first mission which is easy

#

also the goddamn arma ai

#

:(

#

how do you stop them dying?!

#

they're literally running around in circles standing up while a technical attacks them

#

ig this is why the main campaign makes them immortal

#

also why cant you team switch on death

hallow widget
#

you mean if you die? that should be possible. there is a team switch button in the main menu

lament lake
#

doesnt seem to work which is weird

#

ok theyve literally all died in like 3 minutes

#

argh this is why i never play campaigns

#

i always forget but

#

ffs

#

any time it's organic and coop it just falls apart

#

i strongly believe arma should be played with the debug console so you can tune it in realtime

#

how do i stop them dying :(

rain willow
#

Don't bring them to a fight

robust fractal
#

I'm playing it by myself in SP and I'm doing just fine 😄

rain willow
#

Or give them orders to stay low and always focus the big targets

robust fractal
#

But then again I have way more hours at singleplayer than multiplayer, I'm basically an AI Overlord by now

lament lake
#

but when i play singleplayer with a squad they kind of just end up cannon fodder

#

so just play it like it's SP?

robust fractal
#

I play it with an use the AI extensively. And I make a point of not letting them die 😄

lament lake
#

but they're just so stupid

#

like you can't trust them to try not to die

robust fractal
#

Mods that help you command the AI easier are helpful, I use a few simple ones. But the real secret is put the AI in a position where they can win. Does it seem like the enemy AI is always better than yours? It's because they usually have a Squad Leader AI constantly barking out orders way faster than you ever could

#

The AI becomes pretty deadly when you use them right. Sometimes I let them do all the work for me and don't even fire a shot

lament lake
#

so do i have to micromanage?

#

i have to admit i gave up on arma's ai pretty early

#

since the BI campaigns mostly treat them as scenery

#

i.e. make them immortal, use unitcapture and don't give them any important jobs

robust fractal
#

The WS terrain (I can't ever remember the name) is perfect for long range engagements, and there's usually almost always high ground above objectives. Pick a firing position, spread your AI around in good firing positions, prone, scout the objective, spot all the enemies, and then let them rip

#

And give them good optics

lament lake
#

i do love the terrain

#

feels so much more like a place with some stuff in rather than a very condensed map where outside the boundaries it's just grass

robust fractal
#

Also technicals. AI are aimbots when operating the mounted 50 cal, use it 😄

lament lake
#

oh really

#

but then i can only bring 3 future bags of tesco minemeat

#

2*

robust fractal
#

Use the second truck

lament lake
#

ig long range is realistic, i was trying to avoid spending money with the first mission since presumably at some point it actually explains what money is

#

and it seems like cheating to do that before then

robust fractal
#

Right now in my playthrough I'm midway through attacking an AA position, I'm using the normal ION technical and an UP-armored technical I stole 😄

lament lake
#

since you could just wait for night time and use the super advanced csat NVGs etc

hallow widget
#

yup, stealing up-armored offroads is never wrong

robust fractal
#

I mean, the first thing the guy tells you when you start is to rearm at the arsenal, so.. 😄

#

That's what I did haha

hallow widget
#

and with 5 ai + you, it's possible to command 3 offroads

lament lake
#

sure but doesn't it make it trivially easy?

robust fractal
#

(and I lowkey used Drongo's DYEL mod to go equip my uparmored technical with a gun shield and optic hehehe)

lament lake
#

like you always kind of have to avoid abusing stuff in arma and play like it's real

hallow widget
#

well, you just said it's hard :p

lament lake
#

when you play sensibly :D

hallow widget
#

i don't think this is abusing

lament lake
#

sure but

#

idk

hallow widget
#

it's just using the available game mechanics

lament lake
#

hmm

#

but then it's not really the same game

#

like i could turn my squad into CTRG

hallow widget
#

same with the gundrone. thanks to its thermals, you get an amazing overview of the target area and can even carefully snipe the dangerous enemies

lament lake
#

hmm ig my experience of arma is doing things you're not told to tends to result in brokenness

robust fractal
#

I mean you play however you want, you limit yourself as much as you want. I started out by just equipping all my guys with FALs and 1 Galil, no NVG's, just one suppressor for the marskman. I did take the gun drone tho 😄

#

Then I just looted

strong hemlock
#

i think they should be limited

hallow widget
#

yeah, we did the same when testing :>

lament lake
#

lol

#

this is why i prefer playing my own missions cause i can kind of choose how you're 'meant' to play it

#

rather than feeling like i have to play it like a game and win at all costs

robust fractal
#

Arma is designed to let you decide how you want to play. I love that Extraction opens up all the options to you, so you decide on the spot. And also adds tons of replayability value, as you can play it differently each time

lament lake
#

sure but generally you have to play along and not abuse stuff

robust fractal
lament lake
#

like if you have to attack a town in a scenario, you can probably just walk 20km round the other side of it and have an easier time but it's more fun if you play along with it

robust fractal
#

I mean, to each their own right? To me, if I wanted an on-rail experience I'd play a different game. Half my fun in Arma is planning and preparing for how to tackle an objective 😄

strong hemlock
#

Agreed

lament lake
#

no it's completely not on rails

#

it's up to you not to break it

#

that's normally true with arma

#

like most of the campaign can be bugged by doing stupid stuff so it's a bit like dnd, you have to not be an idiot

robust fractal
#

If you mean the East Wind Campaign, it's kind of different, because it's very much an on-rail thing. Sure, it gives you some apparent freedom sometimes, in the form of walking around a little, a bunch or just a lot, but it's still heavily scripted tbh. Extraction is a completely different deal

dire anvil
#

Important question for Lexx about extraction. Watch out, spoiler

#

||Just curious, is it wanted that you can enter the lone CSAT APC in the minefield task? Entered it and used it ever since to clear towns||

lament lake
#

most of arma can be broken if you don't play nicely

robust fractal
#

Again, that's just up to the mission maker really

robust fractal
#

On my last one (which I failed) it chased me down relentlessly from the very beginning. Then I learned to take a Titan launcher with me 😄

lament lake
#

also i appreciate the comedic camera shake when you fire the xms

#

but when you switch to another unit, your camera still shakes when the old unit fires the xms

#

also i'm pretty sure this is just a straight bug but it seems the up-armoured vehicles are marked as 'armoured' so infantry don't shoot at them at all

#

even the exposed gunner

hallow widget
#

infantry can't penetrate the armor, which is why they dont shoot

#

soldiers with bigger guns will still engage

lament lake
#

but they could shoot the gunner

hallow widget
#

his head is visible :p

robust fractal
#

In my experience the AI does shoot the gunner

#

But only if they have a clear shot

lament lake
#

hmm ok not when i was testing

#

and i mean

#

surely they should still shoot at an open driver port

#

that's only like half the size of the driver target when it isnt armoured anyway

hallow widget
#

yeah but there is little we can do.

#

as far as our knowledge goes, we tried everything.

robust fractal
#

Honestly, I've had no issue with it. Even today I was repairing my UP armored techie at the UN outpost when 3 Turas showed up. Just those 3 dudes shot up my techie pretty good, wounded my gunner even, and he had a gun shield. And there were bullet hits all over the armored plates. So...

Well, the ones I'm using right now are very simple, but here goes:

  • "Go Go Go Combat Mode" (very useful when you want the AI to disengage, and works just like any other command)
  • "Fire on my shot! Engage mode" (self explanatory)
  • "Swap Your Weapon" (mostly useful for when Team Switch is not an option)
#

Another one I'm not using but I'm sure could also be very useful:

  • "Time Slowing Menu" (slows down time when you open the command menu)
#

All of these are by Ibragim, on the Workshop

#
  • "Squad Feedback" by kenoxite is also useful, helps you stay more aware of the status of your AI teammates, and see what they see
low mauve
#

Thx! Will check it out. First one I already had spotted as potential help

robust fractal
#

It's very helpful and works extremely well, it has gotten me and my AI out of some tough spots already in Extraction 😄

#

One I also like, but don't really use anymore (it's a bit outdated and buggy at this point) is "All-in-One Command Menu (Deluxe)". It kinda doubles as a SP cheat menu, and gives you a lot more options to command the AI
