After watching back through to make sure YT's compression didn't break anything I just realised how much I referred to "context menus". In case that caused any confusion, I just wanted to clarify what I mean by this: A "context menu" is a menu specific to a certain action, so for example selecting mortar ammo is specific to firing mortars. It makes no sense in any other context. (Recruit unit> HE shell?) A "quick context menu" is the quick select option which the game gives you depending on what you're looking at, so for example telling a unit to target a specific enemy. That would make no sense in any other context either. (Leventis, target that move 100m, front?)

To add a bit more in terms of your own squad: When you have a unit selected, you can hold the left alt key to bting up some other options: Watch position (to avoid your AI awkwardly looking at any position) and suppressive fire, forcing your LMG's to use suppressive fire In terms of tageting, when you have an unit selected you can press 2 to bring the target menu, allowing you to order your men to target units from cover When it comes down to vehicles, using the number 4 will bring up the vehicle menu. There, you can select a specific vehicle you want them to mount and a specific seat you want them to take Since AI kinda bugs in many situations, you can select an unit or squad, press Y, go to AI management and then Temp. Control AI. This will give you direct control over the selected unit or the squad leader for one minute or until that unit takes damage. Useful to manually fix any situation where your AI just gets stuck

Hey man, how does saving vehicles work? Do I have to put them in the garage or can I sit them at my base for quick use?

@JackArden

4 жыл бұрын

I'd strongly recommend using the garage. The mission is "supposed to" save any vehicle within 50m of your base flag, though whether or not this works and which vehicles it saves seems to be very inconsistent.The only consistent way I've seen this work is vehicles which your garrison uses all the time, for example AA emplacements. Even then, their positioning can and will change often, so placing static MGs behind sandbags may see them completely exposed on the next load in, or your AA nest could clip into whatever rock or ditch you've set them in/near for cover. TLDR- use the garage for anything other than AA at your base, otherwise things can disappear or randomly teleport.

@JackArden

4 жыл бұрын

That depends what you're using them for. If you mean to garrison at a resource dump, the only difference between using HC units as garrisons and using the flag to buy units is that the flag gives you more control over which unit types you buy, whereas HC units are predetermined based on the squad type you pick. For example, a standard squad might give you a squad leader, a rifleman, a marksman and a machine gunner- let's say you don't want marksmen at base because they fire out too far and attract attention. You just use the flag to recruit the individual soldiers instead, excluding the marksman. The costs work out the same and you always end up paying for any vehicles or static weapons they spawn with too. If you're wondering if it's worth it to use HC units when you have the funds for them, that's more of a tactical choice. Having a unit independent from your own on the HC menu opens a lot of tactical possibilities, like flanking outposts from several angles or crushing a roadblock and drawing attention in one direction while you and your own team ambush the reinforcements. You can also build a much larger active army using HC, as well as mount units in vehicles outside your own squad. If it's worth the added effort of babysitting several teams at once is your choice, however. Smaller ops may only really need a couple soldiers alongside yourself to be successful.

Make sure you add those squads to the garrison otherwise they'll despawn when you reload the game. Training only applies to newly spawned AI if you upgrade it while they're on the map, however your garrisons cache your AI when you move 1/2KM away and respawn them when you go back, so it's only ever an issue for AI you can see basically right in front of you. Just fast travel away to a different outpost and back again, they'll be the new training level when they reappear

It's been a while since I played this mission but I believe 12? If you want to invest in AI, you need to remember that the enemy has the exact same situation as you, they'll steadily upgrade their AI as time goes on, so it's a good idea to invest in it gradually through the game to avoid getting left behind. Your AI is bad at defense without things like AA emplacements, so you'd want to level them more if you plan on using them on attacks.

It's not possible in this mission. The mission doesn't "save" like a normal mission, it persistantly saves which means all the details are logged into a file and then the mission spawns those same details back in when you load from the file. If a detail isn't saved into the file, then it can't ever be loaded in the same way and there are omissions like specific AI positioning which help keep this file small to prevent it corrupting.

The ZF guys play with ACE, which is where I'm assuming this mobile phone detonator came from. The base game doesn't have dedicated detonators for bombs- if you place one you "just have" the detonator till you die or touch off. I'm pretty sure the videos Womble made with explosives in came from the sketchy Irishman mission (not in the version of Antistasi I played, they used the far less stable mission, hence why their server broke). As for where I found bombs- they're in the ammunition boxes you can steal from outposts and also in bags of explosives specialists. If you see anyone with a big bag, chances are they're either a medic or explosives specialist so focus on those bodies if you're short on bombs.

@JackArden

4 жыл бұрын

I'm glad the video helped you! I haven't found any options in the mission file where you can change the difficulty, AI difficulty is managed by the generic AI skill level you set in the game and the difficulty option on launching the mission only influences your starting resources. This means your difficulty depends entirely on the way you play the mission. The way you ideally want to respond to the enemy and the resources they deploy against you changes a lot depending on how far into your playthrough you are. This is going to be a long comment, but I'll explain how the enemy combat strength can be influenced: The enemy are limited by resources in a similar way to you. Access to HR (which comes from towns) can influence the number of soldiers deployed as well as how large garrisons in outposts are and access to money (which comes from resource dumps and is multiplied by factories) is pooled to give the enemy access to a larger number of better vehicles as well as better training and equipment. There is a further limit on enemy resources which is your aggression rating. This modifies the amount of resources the enemy will be willing to expend in any one instance- higher aggression means larger and more powerful QRFs and counterattacks. So in short, you need to find a way to limit their access to resources while at the same time keeping aggression low to stop yourself from getting overwhelmed. For the first 20/30 hours of your playthrough, you'll want to use missions spawned via Petros in your HQ to lower enemy support in surrounding towns and to bolster your own. Being the faction a town supports will give you HR every resource tick as well as a small amount of money. Regularly moving your HQ to access missions in other towns will let you develop a good network of support to get your own resources pooling up while limiting enemy access to HR. Keep an eye on your aggression, you'll gain +5 for every town that supports you which needs to be mitigated through completing certain mission types or by releasing surrendered enemy soldiers. A really easy way to get soldiers to surrender is to aim exclusively for the legs when you're in a firefight and then revive them afterwards- they immediately surrender if you revive them. It's not as stupid as it sounds, the legs are always unarmoured meaning it's actually quicker to kill than shooting the chest (assuming they wear vests) and the revival time depends entirely on where you shoot someone. The arms and legs can revive in 15-30 seconds whereas the chest or head take upwards of a minute. It's much safer to go for the legs than the arms as you can easily miss the arms and add 45 seconds or so to your revive time if you hit the chest. Going prone behind a car and shooting a whole squad's feet is a very viable tactic. Eventually, you'll want to start working on the enemy access to money too. Resource dumps are the easier target between them and factories as they're always lightly guarded and are mostly in the middle of nowhere, as opposed to factories which are often on main roads near other outposts. As they are lightly guarded, you can often capture them before a QRF turns up, meaning you can simply take the flag and fast travel away so that the QRF despawns. Again, you get +5 aggression for each map element you capture so keep an eye on this value. You can often mitigate this aggression gain by reviving downed soldiers in the outpost but spending too long there will mean the QRF will catch you off-guard. As for factories, if you're unable to safely capture one, you can use placed explosives to destroy the yellow factory buildings to prevent that particular factory from providing any bonus to the enemy economy. From this point on, large enemy attacks are inevitable. You'll struggle to hold land in the beginning but as you gain money you can increase the training level of your AI using your HQ flag. Easily the most powerful way the AI can be used at high training levels is as anti-air gunners. Spawning AA guns from the military vehicles menu and leaving them within 50m of any flag will see the garrison of that area use them. AI training level increases their accuracy and spotting range, turning them into serious counters to the air-based attacks. If you want to see how powerful they are, my latest antistasi video has a situation where a counterattack flew over 3 of my anti aircraft-guns. With just 3 guns, an entire air attack wave was destroyed in a matter of seconds. Eventually, as you limit enemy access to resources and drain their existing pool by destroying vehicles, things will start to get easier. In my solo playthrough, I rarely see more than one vehicle in a QRF on war level 10 aggression 100 and counterattacks are rarely more than 2 waves of aircraft.

Not really. If you assign a unit which has a vehicle attached, that vehicle will get deleted. If you leave static emplacements around the base, these often get manned by the garrison, which is the closest thing you can get. Only problem being that their locations aren't saved exactly, so your nest of AA guns might suddenly end up on the other side of the building and unable to cover the main avenue of air travel or something.

According to the mission, any vehicles kept within 50m of a flagpole you control will be saved and the garrison AI will mount any weapons, though in practice this can be quite temperamental. I've had cases of vehicles vanishing even if they're within the 50m range and also where the AI don't notice there's a usable weapon- even when under attack. Basically, I wouldn't recommend trying it with any vehicle you want to keep.

I'm using the three compatible RHS mods, which are USAF, AFRF and GREF. You can subscribe to them on the steam workshop here- steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=843770737 The Serbian mod on here isn't compatible, so don't worry about subscribing to the entire collection, it's a rather large pack. I'm glad you're enjoying the videos, but don't force yourself to watch through a series that you lose interest in! I know I bumble about a bit in the first few videos while I'm learning the mission file, but from #12 onwards things get a bit more interesting where I start putting the things I've learned to use and actively work towards completing the mission. Personally I think the second half of the series was a lot more interesting than the start.

No this is Altis, which is sort of the "flagship" map of A3 as quite a lot of the campaigns take place there. Antistasi is playable both singleplayer (though it's not recommended on your own due to the difficulty) and in multiplayer. If you're new to the game I'd definitely recommend playing the East Wind campaign before Antistasi to get used to the game in a relatively tutorial-rich environment.

Жыл бұрын

As far as I can remember, they're basically just units who are set to "stealth and observe" which means they are hard to detect and are better at spotting enemies than a regular unit in combat stance. Giving them a good line of sight is a nice way to spot patrols coming out of an outpost, but they can't see further than a regular unit, they'll just make the distinction between "a vehicle, unknown faction" to "enemy vehicle" faster. Because of this I only really found them useful for fast travel points because friendly towns can spot vehicles anyway. If you can't delete an outpost through your own base, you can always delete it with bullets or explosions. Either set off an explosive charge in the middle of it to take everyone out or just headshot all your troops and wait for their revive timers to expire and it should delete the post so long as you don't travel far enough out for it to despawn before everyone is gone.

Are you recruiting basic units to your own squad (as in ones that appear on the bottom bar and you control with F1, F2 etc) or high command units (as in ones you need to open the HC menu to control)? If it's high command units they should appear with their own gear already, but your own squad can only use gear that's in your arsenal box. You need to find weapons that their class will use before they will take them. Easiest way to get started with that is to take supplies from an outpost by loading their box into a vehicle and unloading it at base.

@JackArden

No problem, I'd rather check than just assume you meant one thing when you could mean something completely different! To equip your units with better weapons on spawning them, you want to have enough of a weapon for them to be stocked in unlimited supply in your arsenal box. This doesn't force them to take better weapons, they can still take the old world war rifles- but there's one exception to this where the anti-tank troops will always use the same launcher. If your squadmates spawn with bad weapons even when you've got plenty of good ones, you can use the control AI feature to directly swap out their equipment after dropping the loadout you want them to have on the floor. The way you get an infinite supply of a weapon is to just collect a lot of them. The numbers differ between weapons, but once each one reaches a certain quantity you'll get a notification (which comes with the next resource tick) that it has been "unlocked".

The good thing is, I only have about 6-7 total mods loaded, so it wasn't too hard for me to unload them, and then one by one reload them, and see which one(s) took away the vanilla command bar and command functions.

Do the menus appear when you try to use mortar teams or does it immediately ask for a target? Since these menus are custom, if you don't get them appearing properly you could simply delete and redownload the mission file and that could fix it (don't forget to back up your save if you've made decent progress). If you go through the menus normally but they just don't fire, it might be worth checking to make sure you don't have any AI mods enabled as these can break the custom AI scripting easily.

@JackArden

Жыл бұрын

That's because the game doesn't save the units unless they're part of a garrison. Because the default A3 save system is broken and bloats save files very quickly, the mission saves to a text log that is read on load to bring you back to the same game state as before. Adding every single entity to that such as soldiers and their specific loadouts would bloat this file and defeat the purpose. Best thing I can recommend to do is to create a loadout with the gear you want them to have in your arsenal and then drop that for a unit to pick up, preferably stored in a bag to make it quicker for you. You can use ai control in the Y menu to make them take the bag and equip the gear inside.

There's two main ways you'll want to do this. One is to press the function key that corresponds to that unit (F2 for example) and then use the quick-interact menu to tell them to rearm at a container/body. The second, and arguably most useful, is to fill a bag with gear from your arsenal, drop it on the ground and then use AI control to have the unit pick everything up. This gets around the problem of them sometimes only taking starter guns so you can have a team carrying whatever you want. Also keep in mind quick-interact menu rearming will often see them prioritise taking utility gear, like coloured smoke grenades. This leaves less room for ammo, meaning the second method is by far the best, then you can carry extra ammo in a car and have them rearm from that.

There are some items like the titan launchers which you can never unlock completely, but every item has a different number needed to be unlocked in an unlimited supply. Some items don't need much but others are high enough that you'll generally have more than you could realistically use on your own before they are unlimited.

Make sure you haven't changed this and if you have, take a look through your options.

If you take a bag you can open your inventory and drag the gun into the bag (as in click and drag the weapon icon over the icon of the bag) and you'll store it in there. Just be aware that larger guns sometimes can't be stored (like sniper rifles, LMGs and launchers) unless you have one of the biggest bags, even then you won't be able to pack any ammo. A rifle, SMG or pistol is all you can realistically expect to take like that. As for the night, there's two ways you can go about this. First, attacking any enemy position at night will likely cause the garrison to spawn in with NVGs, so you can take these from them. Second, you can use the lamp in your HQ to rest for 8 hours at a time, allowing you to skip night altogether if you want- just keep in mind that if you have any tasks currently on the map, this will fail them.

If you're near a repair source, like a repair offroad, you can interact with the vehicle itself and you should get a repair all option. Without the source you'll only be able to partially repair things. I'm sure that can be configured in the ACE settings though.

No, not really. They'll automatically take a selection of gear you have an unlimited quantity of, influenced by their role. Because of this you could specifically recruit a marksman if you want them to take a longer range weapon or recruit an autorifleman if you want them to pack a SAW or something. Past this, you're going to need to use AI control to further customise what they carry

I don't play that version of the mission but the logical thing to do would be to find an ammo source would it not? Does your base have an ammo source or the option to build one? Do factories/certain outposts have an ammo source or the option to build one? Perhaps you require a certain vehicle to do this? Look around a bit in likely places, you'll find it I'm sure.

They usually stay in place and your garrison will automatically man them. This is Antiatasi though and you'll occasionally find they disappear or spawn in at weird locations when the garrison is loaded. It's worth keeping in mind they won't help in battles that are automatically resolved or when aircraft pass over outposts they're stationed in unless you're close enough to have the garrison spawned.

@@JackArden thank you for answering my questions I just have one more, can you explain how the Train AI thing works and how the AI decides to equip it's self

@JackArden

No problem! Train AI just makes your AI marginally better per level. If you go into singleplayer scenarios and try to customise the AI difficulty you'll notice there's a few main stats they have. At the start of your playthrough all of those stats are basically at 0, with every level of AI training moving the bars up somewhat to make them faster, more accurate and smarter. When equipping themselves, the AI just take a random weapon from the ones in the box that fits their role. You'll see snipers take a random sniper rifle from one you have selected and generic infantry can take any of your unlocked assault rifles, etc.

My fortifications like Bunkers and trenches don’t save, does anyone know why??

That's pretty normal for this mission, they just don't save 90% of the time and when they do- they teleport around at random

Have you looked in the arsenal box at your base? You need to take equipment out of there, but through the arsenal mode, not the inventory itself.

i know its been a year lol. but maybe someone who sees this could please explain how ammunition for suqads work? do they just run out and they become paperweights? how about mortars - they for sure cant fire infinetly, right? what about the AI vehicles? does any of it regenerate with ticks or something? ty in advance. & ty jack, i have been binge watching all your antistasi videos and i even prefer this mission over vindicta

@JackArden

3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching so many of my videos! It's no different to normal AI supplies I believe. They carry ammo depending on their loadout and run out as they fire it. I'm pretty sure they only carry a small amount, but you can control the AI to make them pick up more ammo by either giving orders as a squad leader for someone to resupply from an enemy or container, or by directly controlling a member of your own team to pick something up. Vehicle ammo works in the same way, though the only way to resupply is to either garage the vehicle and give it back to the team, or to use some kind of resupply vehicle like an ammo transport to directly reload it. Enemy units and vehicles have things a bit easier, since the ones you fight only ever appear in that one engagement. They despawn and fresh units take their place if you were to retreat then come back, meaning they have a full loadout again.

Which type of unit are you recruiting? This can influence the weapon types they can select. Also, it's still a random selection from every weapon that unit is allowed to use. You could be better armed than a 1st world country and still have a full team of Kar98k-wielding cavemen.
