Hey @Wender I'd love to get a version of this that has a more limited player count, say half the current total (I wish you could limit the player count when hosting a server)

Something like

1x AV-42
2x F-45A
3x F26A
1x EF24

I would love to run a more tight group when hosting multiplayer maps. Lemme know what you think - If you share the source, I can do the work and post the version, but I understand if that's not something you want to do (Full credit always given).

Cheers

Oh, and the roads. The base map's roads are pretty messed up. They don't appear on the map, start and end randomly, and have extreme rollercoaster-like inclines and declines. Personally I would just delete all the roaming tanks/SAAWs if there are no believable roads for them to patrol around (that won't block AGMs coming from any angle besides top-down).

Great map, very challenging but not impossible to solo. At least up until Limnos.

Only problems I saw were related to Limnos in some way.
-The infinite fighters spawning at Limnos sometimes start roaming the map or engaging much farther than they should
-The order of airbase 'checkpoints' gets increasingly off as a run progresses, usually placing players on a very punishing 120+km flight to skirt around Limnos towards the latter half of a run
-The enemy AWACS also doesn't seem to actually do anything, enemy fighters are oblivious when approaching them from behind even while it's up. Its flight path might be a bit messed up since it skirts Limnos for half of it.
-When it's finally time to start clearing Limnos, enemy fighters seem to start randomly spawning just beyond visual range every couple of minutes (or maybe coming back from a long roam), making it nearly impossible to clear without another player(s) on CAP.

You can set custom weather in the mission editor and also custom day of time behavior. You should check it out once it's out :) Completely changes the game

i havent played on the beta version of the game yet so i have no clue about the weather cycles. is it different then now? (now you yust set the desired they while hosting the map)

Hey, do you plan to add dynamic/random weather with custom time of day cycles once v1.10 is out?

Hello wender, you are done great coop map , could you please make version with respawn points (or unlimited respawn points) fo B team version? Also AWACS is not working for communicate when you playing on B side.

Adreadnought. i added you to friends. maybe we can troubleshoot this together.

Hey sorry @wender but your campaign is still glitched - It's the same thing every time. The refuelling mission is completed without anyone touching the refuelling plane (Seems like as soon as someone gets close). Then at some point, the host, and only the hosts, flight stick stops working, and their jet drops out of the sky - Fast enough for it to dodge missiles lol. Then when respawned (f45), the wheels are jammed into the carrier deck and you cant go anywhere. At that point, all missiles and fighters stop attacking with missiles or locking on with radar and just go dead.

It's too bad because this mission was great but its burning lobby after lobby :(

f45 gets unlocked during the enemy carrier fleet event. which has a chance of triggerering after island 5.

Great map, I love playing OPFOR :)

When does the F-45 on Team B get unlocked?

Why is the EF-24 not spawning as of today? No matter how many objectives blue team completes it never gets an initial life.

when the ah-94 was in the mission i kept getting complaints that the travel was to much for the helo. even when the spawn of the helo moved with the AV41. i dont feel this mission suits the helo

can you make a version with ef-24 and ah-94?

this map is supposed to be a challange and to push you to learn how not to die. if you need a mission where you are not punished have a look at dynamic liberation.
dont be shy with your flares (you can set the CMS options to drop a lot more of them)
carry some AIRS-T's and put them on head tracking mode to shoot down incoming missiles.
watch youtube how to gpull missiles. You can do it!

Can we get a version without a limit on lives?

ah alright, cheers

thanks for your reply Ola, me and couple of mates will try it again let you know if we have any suggestions

the F45 only receives lives during the Enemy Carrier Fleet event, it has always been like that.

With the rouge pilot stuff it seems that the F45 no longer recieves tickets only the EF24?

@jordan
the idea is that limnos is the enemies fortress. that is to heavy supplied to assault directly with the limited amount of planes available to our group.
I have been experimenting with the carrier path the last few days. it should be better now.
i have been thinking about the idea to move spawnpoints when a airbase is captured. but it does not really work with the way the optional objectives are setup.
Also the current layout is there to push you to stay alive. Not dieing is how you dont have to fly around Limnos again.
Dont do anything to risky, rearm at the closest airbase. this is not a map like dynalib where you can go in without thinking or without skill.
This map is here to challange you, challange yourself to not lose a plane, learn how to gpull, adjust your countermessures settings so you drop many with a single push.

who the fack decides its a good idea to put the main obj you can't enter till the very end right beside the carrier you spawn on, other then that its good fun would be great if the carrier could be moved so its not inside the enemy radar zone also it would be cool if u made it so after each capture of an island the spawn location gets moved there.

oh damn, didn't look at the update date, thanks

its already in there Max.

any plans to add the new plane?

Yup, I know that

the Arma 3 maps are based on real greek islands. so arma 3 is a real life reference

Is this an Arma 3 reference?

One of the better or best missions I've played in multiplayer. It sucks when you get those players who get into a plane, fly to the center island, die, and lose all the lives for the rest of the team.

I've completed this mission flying the AV-42C so I feel that there could be more CAS objectives. This is especially important for helicopter players. Most of the time, (competent) players in F-45s or F/A-26s clear the objectives before a helicopter can even fly to the objective. Having a few infantry or tank targets could help with this.

By far the most difficult mission on the boards these days. Surprising how many people ignore the briefing but that is part of the game.

Can't wait to test it with my group!

Had lots of fun hosting this as a public lobby. Great large-scale multiplayer action. Be aware that this is a long mission and takes about 60 to 120 minutes to complete. Also, I recommend reading the mission briefing. You need to enforce some discipline in your lobby, because if someone flies to the middle island early, you are in deep ♥♥♥♥. The bonus targets are pretty cool because some, like the air-to-air refueling, allow one skilled pilot to get some more lives for the entire team.

Love this map because it was the first real amazing multiplayer experience I had on VTOL. Would be nice if players now weren't such smooth brains and knew how to fly the mission correctly.
