Pushing the Germans Back

Description
Single player mission, Part 1 of the mission, you are the leader of an infantry squad, follow behind the tank, and help it clear the way through the town. Part 2 of the mission, you are the gunner in a tank crew moving forward to clear the town of all German units.

Mission play time is about 30 minutes

Spearhead 1944 CDLC Required

No mods required


*NOTE* Mission relies on AI moving along waypoints, in Part 1 As you follow the tank, keep your team from getting too close to the Tank as it moves, or they could get run over, or it can affect the Tank's navigation. In Part 2 you can team switch to the tank driver if the tank gets stuck. In my testing, the tank followed the waypoints pretty well, so the mission should work fine, but sometimes, Arma will be Arma.

Enjoy

The tranks blew up with one good hit because of a little scripting magic. I wanted players that don't have a lot of experience with tanks to be able to have fun, so I made it pretty easy to killed the enemy tanks.

Fun mission, easy to just go in and do it/you really don't have to do much babysitting of the AI. I will say, on the tank portion, what the hell were those AP rounds in the player tank? they were ridiculously good, I was one shotting every tank we came upon. and not even just the 'disabled' state, I'd give em one good hit square on in the front and the thing would immediately burst into flames. It was awesome. Not sure if that's been suped up in some way for this scenario or if I've somehow never used those rounds, in this tank, yet.

@stburr91 I see your frustration with Arma tank waypoints. For my own missions I found a perfect solution: setDriveOnPath https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/setDriveOnPath That function will have the tank or vehicle drive anywhere you want and it will ignore anything in its way, even drive over obstacles and AI units. Here is a youtube video explaining how to set it up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiJVsFkL2zY (the video is in german, but it has subtitles). The closer you place the marksers to each other, the better it works.

Sure thing, the tank actually navigated pretty good, however. team mates were awful. Not your fault, ofc.

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Yes, the pathfinding in Arma isn't that great sometimes, and is even worse on the Normandy map because of the sheer number of objects on the map. I had to do a heck of a lot of testing, and adjusting to get the pathfinding to work as well as it does in this mission. I spent hours testing to get the tanks to reliably follow their waypoints, but only had the AI ground units get stuck a few times in all of my testing. But heck, if it can go wrong, it will, that's just Arma being Arma.

Good one. My only gripe is about AI pathfinding, could be awful at times, I had to use Zeus when teammates get stuck in a building. Overall, had some good firefights! Looking forward to your other missions.
