Description
The NATO fleet is on its way to the islands of Altis and Stratis to confront the CSAT forces, but before they get there, they must eliminate the threat posed by the forces present on Malden.

Set 24 hours before events of the Stepping Stone. Join NATO special forces arriving on Malden, but before they can take on main island they must eliminate CSAT supply base on eastern island that once hosted US base during Cold War.

This mission is best discripted as a mission and a half as it splits into to two different scenarios after first main objective based on player choice.
In first half of the mission you will join squad tasked with clearing CSAT base hosting Surface to Air Missiles.
After that player is presented with a choice (in COOP this is preset by person hosting the mission):
  • Either jump into A-164 Wipeout strike aircraft to eliminate APCs and fuel depots using it's 30mm cannon and unguided bombs.
  • Or to continue as infantry squad and eliminate CSAT supplies using equipment found on the island.


NO MODS OR DLCS REQUIRED


Procedural generation is used in the mission to make it fresh and interesting on every playthrough.

Many aspects of this mission are subject to randomization. Inluding layout of the CSAT base, placement of CSAT soldiers, their gear and few other minor aspects.



COOP mode is available for up to 6 players.

Takes somewhere between 15 - 25 minutes to complete the mission.

Sebastian Monroe I hear you but that ain't happening. :)
Correct me if I miss remember but all target you are asked to destroy in A-164 Wipeout are trucks and lightly armored APCs. All possible targets for Wipeout's 30mm gun, the main reason this aircraft is fun.

If GBUs or AGMs were available that part of the mission would be comically easy. Dare I say a "point and click adventure" levels of easy.

I found that It was very difficult to do this mission without GBU's that lock to a laser. please update for GBU's on the A-10

KrZo thank you once more. :>

And another of your great missions. I would say, that's kind of a perfect scenario. It's cool to have midgame the possibility to choose between infantry and the A-164. So another favorite mission added to my collection. Nice work!

Tee Jay thanks but I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you cause I'm not planning on doing missions with mods any time soon. :D

Awesome mission dear. I will wait for your next mission, but this time with A-10C

Flund First of all I appreciate your comment. :>

As for Your suggestion/question about possible next mission. I'm not rulling it out but in the last three months I've been given so many suggestions that I can't turn them all into reality. Unfortunately I just don't have enough spare time. :<
I have been asked for example for:
-More AAF
-More CSAT
-More CTRG
-More Air mission
-Coop Heli/Infantry
Amongst other things.
There will be more mission from me in near future for sure though. So even if I will not make specifically follow up to this one I hope You will find more of my missions fun aswell. :>

[h1] Hallo [/h1]

Good mission - I especially think my options to choose between AIR or INF along the way is a fun element.

/b] Unfortunately came
- Benjamin
- Kyle
- Thomas
never home this time... They stayed at Malden.... Glory be to them and their memory...

// Lund // signs out [/b]

PS
Will there be a follow-up? I could easily have seen a next mission on the Altis as part of the invasion force (maybe with the same Load out and crew) One thought would be to get some R & R after the mission and then again be able to choose inf or maybe diver or something else as an option!


... now you probably have other things to do than doing missions ;)
