Help with first mission?

Post by CQBman »

Just discovered this mod and installed it and I'm trying like hell to do the first mission (where two teams of recon marines are tasked with destroying the enemy's AA vehicles and their communications station) but its impossible! There's just too many enemy units moving everywhere and your teams are massively outnumbered and outgunned. And the camouflage ability is next to useless, because all the enemy units spot you before you can see them or move out of their path.

After trying it 6 or 7 times, I finally gave up on trying to destroy the AA platforms and focus solely on the comms. station - and have even been able to get some men up to the communication station and lase it (calling in an airstrike) but as soon as its destroyed the enemy just moves on my men and pounds them into oblivion, failing the mission.

So please, any help?

You have to remember the position of every watch tower, get close with camo, and use precision shot (to sniper) or satchel charge (to MG nest) to deal with it.
The most important thing is to avoid casualty caused by sniper and MG nest, and never let militia sound alarm.

Great. So I was finally able to destroy the comms. station and keep my men alive, but then when the counter reaches 0, the amphibious vehicles arrive on shore and then I get a Fatal Scar Error and the game just pauses! What a pain in the arse. I was so looking forward to this mod.

SCAR error was caused by the transition to 2.700 and will be fixed in the upcoming patch.

Any ETA on when the patch is likely to arrive? If we're talking a few days I'll stick around and give it another go. If its weeks or months or "unknown" then I'm out :)

Hopefully it will be released in following few days, as DarkBladecr is coming back and will do the final check of the patch 1.016.
