Sounds awesome. I'll have a go at any thing.

Was thinking of JTAC, not sure of the importance of this role unless I can hook up with Lovvi and do some training. Lovvi are you new to jets? Free for JTAC training?

Use the jet mounted radio, also any one know of the key bindings so you can switch radio channels. SL talk to command, command talks to jet, jet switches to JTAC to recive the target details. JTAC give details, calls job done! Jet switches back to command channel. (short version) Would be awesome if we can get this working. If we are going for mil sim and not PR.

Either way we can sort this out later.

Looking forward to learning something new.

I'll take JTAC.

I'm really happy seeing this many signups already. For those of you who have selected multiple slots, I will not be placing you anywhere. Since Snippers is the CO, he will be placing those who are flexible into the desired roles when he gets back from holiday.

You're welcome. Thank you for be very receptive to all the information.

Wish I could have been there.. Damn work

VERY IMPORTANT: Until a patch is released for ACRE do not forget you must be on version 3.0.8 for ACRE to work. If you are on 3.0.8.1 it will not work and you must follow the links and get the proper version. You won't need to uninstall TS. Just run the program and you will be rolled back to 3.0.8 keeping all of your current settings. Many thanks to Chris for reminding me about this.

SIGN ME IN

Sorry guys.. Nightclub that i used to work in reopened and they are in need for security guards.. So they called me up.. was there this night and they needed 11th aswell.. So i have to pass..

That is no problem at all. I'll see you around.

Short notice sign up, should be able to make this now.

Added

Sadly I am not well tonight with headaches and throwing up, London heat? I am sad to say that I won't be able to make it, I am sorry gentlemen that I have let you down.

Ingame nick: Bemetson
Desired role: Any non-leading

I'm glad to see you on board Bemetson. The mission is still set to start at the top of the hour.

Out visiting family. Unexpected trip. Will be on as soon as I can.

I'm sorry i can't be there as i had just picked up an urgent job and i've gotta be out of the city for 2 days. :'(

Scratch me, I started up Six earlier and had to download updates, suffice to say I'll have to do them overnight.

A very big thank you to all who were able to attend the event. I have yet to learn the outcome of the mission, but I hope that damn radio tower is destroyed, melted down, then cast in the shape of a middle finger which will be placed in the middle of that town. Unfortunately I had to go because my frame rate dropped to a max of 4. I'm going to look into a better cooling system in the near future.

Big props to Chris for volunteering to be CO on such short notice. You did an excellent job mate . I definitely see someone who can fulfill Snipper's wish of allowing him to be a V-22 pilot, and not the CO again. Perhaps you will consider commanding again?

I did record the mission on FRAPS, but I'm going to edit and upload it tomorrow night. I'll need some assistance with the editing. I'm off to bed, but I look forward to reading about the conclusion of the Mission That Almost Wasn't. Goodnight.

I left when half off all that started left.

but It was fun when we had those 10-12 players

RAM killer map for me unfortunetly, normally i can handle 6-8 other people around me.

On that map i struggled with 2, and to say i was thrown in the hitman squad with 5 people around me, my running speed was the same speed as the others in the squad walking.

Remind me not to play that map again. total RAM overhaul extremely unplayable - i hear i wasn't the only one, which makes my cpu happy.

I liked it, can't wait for the footage. I also want to see arcL!ght's footage! Please tell me you're uploading that!

At the end me, arc and Bemetson had a stand off on some building surrounded by tank, spg techie, some sort of APC and infantry. When I got shot down I decided to leave, since there we're only like.. 4 people playing or something. What was the eventual outcome? Did you still finish the mission?

As per usual. I have recorded the mission. I will upload it at my own leisure. Though there is some background noise from the TV. As for completing the mission. That is for us to know, and for you a mystery.

EDIT: Here is the video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaEIMYk0xio
SORRY FOR THE TV IN THE BACKGROUND. PEOPLE LIKE IT VERY LOUD!!

Video is up, yay.

and i noticed i have to work on my comms very badly...

Got to watch this bad boy tonight

that techie at 0:38 is what got me and arclight killed Good watch (watched about 40 minutes of it)

It gets better at the 40 minute mark.

Also I would like to inquire on how to improve my SL capabilities. The one thing I know I do not often do is respond to radio communications whenever I am engaged. Not even "Wait one". For some reason my brain does not respond to the input. Right now, I do not micro-manage my soldiers. I like them to have a decent amount of freedom to move around without them asking where they have to go. Sometimes you get put in really bad spots. Downside is that they might move too far away. I usually give my FTL an order like: "Move up to that compound."

One more thing. That town is really hard to assault. They have a lot of natural cover to fire from. Combined with the ungodly amount of armour it was not easy to push up, as I expected. Personally I would have attacked from the other side of town. More flat terrain with a bit less green.

Thats a very bad thing to do.. You soldiers look up to you as SL.. They always need telling where to go etc.. Or otherwise your whole squad can divide and can cause death to most of them.. At least tell them to take cover behind anything they see and return fire so other people can move away from fire zone etc.. And when you get stuck in a bad place.. Thats the sign you have to start giving them orders.. any kind of orders..
Thing is... anything you tell to soldiers under your command is good motivation to them.. The less you tell them the less they will think of you.. Or, well atleast that works in real life like that ^^

And I think thats why snipers/marksmen are needed.. and why I want to learn to use them in this mod aswell

PS: I watched the video and you guys did good out there..

You did a great job Da-Fort. At times I felt like we didn't have an objective while fighting inside the town, but I think you were on the radio for most of our time there, right?

Edit: It was my job to manage the individuals within my fireteam, so I apologize if the perimeter wasn't secure enough.
