Thanks a lot, very efficient! I start the mod understanding nothing at the usual on arma3 or Unsung ...no one was helping me then I found your video...perfect to understand basics!
This helped a lot, I’m addicted to helicopters but didn’t know how to access them so I’ve been hopping in the copilot seat and switching controls to copilot lol. Definitely gonna be playing as green hornets from now on
One thing to note is, please don't use things that are used by northern forces. Things like NVA helmets, nonlas, black and tan outfits, and even things like aks and rpds will probably result in you getting teamkilled either from long range or people itchy on the trigger.
Couldn't agree more. The enemy weapons and gear shouldn't even be available. Everytime I see someone using enemy guns or gear I immediately tell them we take no responsibility if you get teamkilled. Then I proceed to purposely team kill them untill they quit or use regular gear
Both acav and Mike force can fly the "light helicopters" The Cayuses north of the green hornets spawn area are intentionally left open to accommodate low player counts. Trucks made by the workshop can also be used by Mike force and Green hornets. So some small assets normally locked behind the "companies" can be accessed by everyone, but very few
Wait... were you on bebos server last night? I was holding the hospital roof with a real swell guy also named seb. He was calling in some hot fire and flipping the light switches all night.
Very good tutorial thanks. I have 3 questions: 1- Can we create new respawn points like mobile HQ's? Because it gets hard to fly from all the way airport. 2- How can we extend visibility? In-game menu doesn't seem to be effective. 3. How can we turn on the flashlight on the uniform?
Extending visibility would be through a script or a mod. You can’t turn on flashlight on uniform unfortunately, but you can get a flash light as a secondary and press L to turn it on
Thanks for making this. Had no idea about the rank and gear thing. Does your characters stats go between servers similar to KoTH or are they just per server?
@@BevoDevo I've played on a few different ones and while I haven't taken note of it yet, my gear and role seems to remain the same as when I last played it, I'm thinking it is just server side
Its only PvE and you can only play as american against north vietnam, the mode its a lot of fun, good thing is there is Koth servers for this dlc if you want to play PvP
@@dario9793 thanks for letting me know. I love PVE anyway i was just wondering if there was PvP. And in the DLC can you play as the north Vietnamese/VC at all or is it only american. Im fine with either just wondering. I would prefer playing as Americans anyway but it would add more variety if you could play as both.
@@legendarybrando348 I dont know if its there a PvE multiplayer mode yet that let you play as Vietcong because only have played mike force and some sp but in single player you have 1 mission that let you play as a Vietnamese soldier, in koth one team is vietnamese, anyways im sure with the time they will relase some mode that let you play as vietnamese pve i would like that too a lot
@@legendarybrando348 oh sorry yes it have i forget escape mode (dont know if that its the name exactly) a pve (10 players?) coop where you are a captured vietcong soldier a you must escape of the americans killing and picking up weapons and ammo, the ai helis just destroyed me 🤣
1. How did you bring up the radio support to just click on a place on the map and confirm? Have taken the radio operator training etc. Cant figure that out. 2. How do you get past the [ not in an ACAV] to build a basic spawn? Have also tried after taking engineering. Nothings clear with this :( Some clear documentation would be rad from the makers) :(
I agree, documentation would be great, but they are working on it! To answer your first question, make sure you have radio training, an RTO backpack, and then it should be a scroll wheel option which will open up the menu. To build, make sure you have engineer training, a shovel, and then press “N” to pull up the build menu. A checkpoint is the respawn building. You smack it in the shovel to build and then need to supply it with a construction crate. Hoped this helped!
So i took the radio operator thing and i can't open the radio support thing even with the scrolling it doesn't show up Do you need a special radio for it?
So if you’re on the ground and look at objects in the fob, you will see all this info pop up, including whether or not it is decaying. If it is, then you will need resupply
Is there no way to just make a small mike force server for myself and my friends to mess around in? I was checking today and I can make a server in game that my friends can join but I dont get an option to make a mike force server :/
Lately I've been getting an error message that results in comm failure. It says, "taskforce radio addon 1.0 is not updated or installed" and I have no idea how to fix it.
I just downloaded this game, and arma 3 for the first time a week ago. Trying to custom keybind has been one of the most frustrating experiences of my life... There is just such an overall lack of intuitive design. And no ability to remove HUD in multiplayer, seriously? Night missions are brutal because of the contrast of bright white useless details shown on screen.
@t_rex8767 cool. I might have to check it out. My grandfather was commander of 5th group for 25 months in VN and commanded mike groups a bit. Mike Healy. How's it play?
So I just got armor and the Sog dlc, and them brand spanking new to the game, why do I keep getting kicked is there something I need to do before joining
As soon as I join it’ll show me a list of players and what not and I hit OK it’ll start downloading shit for the map but before I can download anything I get kicked it tells me to restart the battle I thing

I’m five hundred hours into arma. I’ve done coding in the editor, and I just now figured out how to center the map on myself
I've been playing Arma since the release of Arma 2 and I'm still absolutely terrible at everything
@@aclockworkcranberry haha I definitely have improved, but I’m definitely not near the best at anything fun or everything in the game
Protip use toe poppers by the 100s
I feel like the unsung motto of arma is “make it up as you go along”
700+ hours in, HOW!? Tell me right now!
Great video, man! Just now getting myself in SOG:PF a little more and diving in Mike Force.

cant stop won't stop
@vATA NAM There are civillians, I've actually seen some
Best content creator with very informative content
Thank you so much for this!!
Always go for oranges for food and water there 0P trust me
I recommend you take oranges because they give both food and water
Have had this game for awhile arma 3 that is and got a new graphics card n just picked this up. Shits awesome
That is not a map of Camp Holloway at Pleiku airbase Vietnam! I was there in '69
Thank you Bert very informative -Salvo
Great video, thanks. Question: how are you pointing, marking things visually with the black circle?
One thing to note is, please don't use things that are used by northern forces. Things like NVA helmets, nonlas, black and tan outfits, and even things like aks and rpds will probably result in you getting teamkilled either from long range or people itchy on the trigger.
This is a great point!!

Can confirm was door gunning cas slaughtered a section of guys in sog and seal skins lol
No you have to be on a the team as the vehicle type to use the crew served weapons

Nice explanation. Thx for that video
Any team can fly the helicopters you just have to get in the co-pilot seat and scroll down to take control with the mouse wheel.
Yeah, you helped me immensely. Thank you.
Thank you Bebo

Engineers on acav can build spawns, not sure if u can turn on flashlight if not holding it

Jolly good show
The anti venom and medicine doesn't work yet. If you get bit by a snake you just need water and food
yeah the snakes are killing the gameplay in Mike Force. There more poisonous snakes in one square kilometer of the map then in all of Vietnam.
@@brucecamparmament3728 i didnt get bited yet 🤞
Thanks for this
Best Arma game mode.
Thanks! Super helpful
Thanks this is very useful info 👍
Nice video thanks for sharing. Are you playing against AI in this game mode or is there an opposing team?
It’s only against AI at the moment
No, it's not PvP. Get over it and learn how to work as a team member.
@@sleazykilla360 Don't cry mate, just asking a question.
People who dress in VC clothing in Mike Force deserve the blue on blue they will definitely get
Great video subbed!!
Well done sir! Thank you!
Really helpful video. See you on the jungle
Do the vehicles respawn? Have never played multiplayer in Arma(never had high speed net and this is just a bootstrap) But am wanting to learn
Great information !! Thanks. Subscribed
No one cares
@@sleazykilla360 and you are the joy of the party =)
How do you get emplacements like machine guns and mortars
Engineers, might have to be acav
So much love on this video 170 likes 0 dislikes

How do you open the radio support menu?
Same i have no idea
For the radio operator how do you pull up that radio interface to call in air strikes if you have the training and the backpack?
Scroll wheel. It'll be listed as radio support.
What button did u use for radio support?
Is the mike force gamemode only for PVE or is it for PVP as well.

@@dario9793 OK thanks.
Yea im sure they will add more content in the future.
Do you guys recommend to just join the pub servers to play this game mode or take the time to find an organized group on a private server ?
Is it possible to add your own duty officer to your own mission in the editor, and be able to change teams with H and gain skills with 6?
Can you communicate long distance with others via radio?
Trying to find info on the medic and demolitions roles, they don't seen to have any special abilities.
Very useful and as a result watched your previous vid on "What is Mike Force?". Great info and thats a SUB ✅ from me! Peace Out ✌🏼😎
Nobody wants to talk about how that man just ate 6.6lbs of chicken.
Hey! That's pretty good!
How do you capture the red areas we have destroyed everything and have been sitting in the HQ for Hours
How do you unlock the full arsenal?
Thank you so much and is there any way to remove something I build
I don’t know. I’ve tried to figure that out, but haven’t yet. If I learn how I’ll let you know
@@BevoDevo only way I have found is to use zues and update objects then delete or move them

Thanks mate. Is your server a whit list?
My server is only password locked. If you join my disc, all the info is there and you’re more than welcome to join us
@@BevoDevo Sounds good to me. Could you point me in the direction if your discord please?
discord.com/invite/wTakdrD this should work. If not, there is another link in the video description
How do you save the game, so you can leave and join back?
its multiplayer
So i took the radio operator thing and i can't open the radio support thing even with the scrolling it doesn't show up
Do you need a special radio for it?
now i know how to call in airstrikes. i bet ny friends not going to like that. xD
How do I communicate does it have to be through teamspeak? I get to an AO and see lots of people but nobody talking.
you can speak in game or most servers are using team speak and task force arrowhead radio
Odd question, how do you know if fobs need resupplies?
So if you’re on the ground and look at objects in the fob, you will see all this info pop up, including whether or not it is decaying. If it is, then you will need resupply
I don’t really understand the antivenom. I got bit and just munched some chicken and water and nothing else happened
at 4:52 what key did you hit to bring up radio support interface?
I scroll wheeled and hit the enter key on the radio support option
You don’t need a shovel to build
is this similar to the invade and annex jsoc server
How do you build mortars?
Is there no way to just make a small mike force server for myself and my friends to mess around in? I was checking today and I can make a server in game that my friends can join but I dont get an option to make a mike force server :/
You need to download the mission. It's a scenario, not a base game mode.
So what are people using to communicate with each other in game?
Tfar. It’s a plug-in for TeamSpeak that makes it proximity chat in game
Discord or game chat. Only old people use teamspeak
@@sleazykilla360 Can they be used with the in game radios?
Lately I've been getting an error message that results in comm failure. It says, "taskforce radio addon 1.0 is not updated or installed" and I have no idea how to fix it.
you need to install teamspeak and task force arrowhead radio from the workshop
you specifically need the tfar beta

This really is a lot of fun. Can anybody tell me how the training works? Whenever I try it says “there’s already someone on your team with this role”
If you get the role first you can have it bud, first come first serve
is this for multiplayer only?
Yes, it is
KEYS WHAT KEYS TO USE RTO
how do we get in the lobby ??
I put more than 10 hours in Mike Force, and every second was spent in a transport helicopter
What button is it for the radio support?
It’s a scroll wheel option
Thanks for the quick reply
is Mike Force vs AI or online players?
Vs Ai, against the vc
