BIG ARMA GAME *UPDATED* - START TODAY 19:30

by **Delta** Tue 14 May - 15:06:47

So guys, we haven't had one of these for ages, I've got a map and scenario lined up but need to know how many people are interested.

So the roles that need filling:

Alpha Squad (5 x INF):
- SL
- 2IC/JTAC - Mr Arked
- Demo - Heavyweather
- Medic - Gingerjordan
- Marksman - Viglen

Bravo Squad (5 x INF):
- SL - Kerre
- 2IC/JTAC - Orford
- Demo - Blip2
- Medic - F3rit
- Marksman

Charlie Squad (5 x INF)
- SL - Delta
- 2IC/JTAC
- Demo - Shaydee
- Medic - Zer0
- Marksman

Recon Squad (Sniper and Spotter/JTAC):
- Sniper - Chris
- Spotter/JTAC - Da-Fort

CAS squad (Pilot and Gunner):
- Pilot 1 (SL) - MasterG
- Gunner 1 - Beanie
- Pilot 2 (2IC) - Player_1
- Gunner 2

Transport Squad:
- Pilot 1 (SL) - Exetick
- Pilot 2 (SL) - Sm4tiez

A little bit of background for the scenario, the mission will take place at night and will be an attack on AA sites and Long Range Artillery located in Aliabad, CAS will be flying both F/A 18s (for main ground strike) and Cobra AH1's (for escorting the trans helis) and will be using carriers therefore pilots need to be proficient at landing on a carrier (or ejecting over it if not). Trans pilots will be flying chinooks with zodiac's and squads loaded in them, this will also form the exfil. The recon squad will not be inserted but will start on the island and will have run some familiarization before hand as they will cover the squads as they approach the targets as well as lasing secondary targets for CAS.

by Player_1 Wed 15 May - 17:44:32

Delta, would you mind listing all of the mods that will be used for this mission?

by **Orford** Wed 15 May - 17:58:39

I dont mind flying the cobra if some one wants to gun. Also im a good jet pilot.

if not im happy to do inf.

by F3rit Wed 15 May - 17:59:35

Me , me and me please.
any role is good for me.

by **Delta** Wed 15 May - 19:17:06

All mods are now in first post, also there is a link to a google docs spreadsheet

CAS will be using both dual seat FA18's and cobras. The FA18's are going to be used for most of the time, cobras are there to cover the Chinooks on infil and exfil. Will put up a briefing shortly.

At the moment we are missing the following roles:

- 1x CAS gunner
- 1x Sniper spotter/JTAC
- 6x Infantry (incl 1 SL)

by **sm4rtiez** Wed 15 May - 19:20:56

I can run second trans. That chinook is fun.

by **Royal-PR** Wed 15 May - 19:31:59

Any dates been confirmed?

by **TheBeanie** Wed 15 May - 19:54:17

monday nights would be good for me anyweek however

Heh, I also had an F18 and the Nimitz on the map I was developing. I suggest training with your possible gunner with the F18. It is different then what you are used to. Was wondering how to share it between the users. Was considering of putting it on the server and using it as a repo for a couple of days only.

Put me down as either the Flight lead/gunner or JTAC. If there are more people wishing to be CAS pilot or gunner then please do allocate those slots to them. If you put me in the JTAC spot, maybe set me up as spotter/JTAC? If none of these are available then assign me to a squaddie position.

by **TheBeanie** Thu 16 May - 8:28:54

pending the confirmed date i will wait to see if i'm able to play before downloading the mods if that is okay?

by **Delta** Thu 16 May - 17:01:51

Yeah that is all ok, dates are still pending as I haven't finished the map yet. Will probably be on a weekend but not this weekend. Da fort I have a CAS gunner or Spotter/JTAC position free, your choice.

by **Da-Fort** Thu 16 May - 18:31:08

Leaning towards Spotter/JTAC.

Question: You got an UAV in the map? Just wondering because of the pictures. Almost makes me want to finish the job on the NW Airfield.

by **Delta** Thu 16 May - 21:26:20

nope no UAV, utes is too small, might put in a HuntIR for the sniper pair but that's it. Pictures are just intel on two of the target locations

by **sm4rtiez** Thu 16 May - 22:09:54

Any opportunity to test the infil/exfil?

by **Delta** Thu 16 May - 22:19:33

yep, going to put up a training mission shortly, I can't add files to the arma server though, also we have no box so no arma server atm...

by **TheBeanie** Fri 17 May - 1:16:59

I work saturday 5-12 and sunday 4,5-11, got my eye op on the 5th june and prob be having 1-2 weeks off work for it.

I'm willing to gun for you if ya don't mind teaching me the basics before hand?

by **TheShaydeeOne** Fri 17 May - 2:03:02

Too much CAS not enough armour.

Is once with a LAV/Brad/Stryker 40mm to much to ask? haha Razz

by **Delta** Fri 17 May - 2:22:05

haha but fast air is awesome, gona be interesting to see what happens if they get shot down...

Am thinking of doing a ground based combined ops next time, maybe a follow up mission that is the actual assault of the island...

by **sm4rtiez** Fri 17 May - 13:05:38

The Chinook has cargo ropes...hrmmm....wonder if it lifts....

by **TheBeanie** Fri 17 May - 13:12:37

Delta are you able to do a date somewhere between the 5th-19th June?

by **Royal-PR** Fri 17 May - 19:54:01

I can see it now "TAKE COVER" (200lb bomb drops 20m away half the inf dead haha

by Player_1 Fri 17 May - 20:12:13

If that does happen, at least there won't be any survivors to report the crime Wink

I am now curious about the weapons load that the CAS will be carrying. Has that been finalized or is it still in the works Delta?

by **TheShaydeeOne** Fri 17 May - 22:12:38

AFAIK it does lift. We lifted a Stryker 40mm last year in a domination map.

Didn't end well for the Chinook because the pilot flew a little too low, the Stryker bounced up hit the Chinook, we dropped and drove off and the Chinook went 'bye bye'.

by Player_1 Fri 17 May - 22:28:28

Did that happen on Clafghan by any chance? The memories of late night Domination are flooding back man. So many helicopters lost on that map.

by **TheShaydeeOne** Sat 18 May - 1:04:12

Yeah it did.
